Kenya will work with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to fight climate change impacts on its economy. The Government-Financing Locally-Led Climate Action Programme (G-FLLoCA) aims to increase access to green technologies to deliver low-carbon, climate-resilient development at national and local levels as well as attract new investments in support of climate resilience.

Through the partnership, the WFP will support the scaling-up of community-led climate-sensitive actions, invest in increasing the capacities of national and county institutions to programme, finance, and implement climate change initiatives, while rebuilding the livelihoods of families who have lost their incomes.
