LAMA Platform Engaged in Kenya's National Climate Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting & Learning Initiative

Kenya's Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Natural Resources and Forestry (MECCF) has formed a landmark multi-partner initiative — co-led with SouthSouthNorth (SSN), the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), and the World Resources Institute (WRI), with technical support from the African Group of Negotiators Expert Support (AGNES), and with the strategic engagement of the Africa Research and Impact Network (ARIN) through its Locally Led Adaptation Metrics for Africa (LAMA) Platform. Together, this coalition is co-developing a standardised indicators handbook and a digital Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting, and Learning (MERL) tool — ultimately promoting greater transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making across Kenya's climate actions.
