Monitoring and Evaluating Climate Resilient Investment Projects: Strengthening Capacities under the FLLoCA Program

This info note reviews Kenya’s Financing Locally Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) program and the effort to strengthen monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) for climate-resilient investments. It outlines the financing architecture and KfW’s EUR 31 million support to 16 western counties, emphasizing a harmonized results framework that links county projects to national outcomes. Two cross-cutting KPIs, that is; sustainable land use and job creation (with a focus on women and youth) guide performance tracking. Drawing on Alliance Bioversity & CIAT experience with the CSA Investment Plan MEL framework and the Adaptation Tracking Tool, partners co-developed a streamlined MEL framework that will be piloted within FLLoCA counties, through training officials to enable transparent, evidence-based reporting and more resilient local investments.
