At the launch, NDC Partnership Global Director Dr. Pablo Vieira congratulated Kenya: "Kenya's leadership and commitment at the highest levels is driving ambitious climate and development action, creating a strong framework to implement the country's climate commitments, and effectively mobilizing climate finance. These efforts improve the livelihoods of all Kenyans."

The Partnership is committed to supporting Kenya with the coordination, implementation, tracking and reporting of NDC actions through the revised NCCAP and with technical assistance to develop an Investment Plan for Kenya's LT-LEDS and NDC.

The NDC Partnership is a global coalition, bringing together more than 200 members to deliver on ambitious climate action that helps achieve the Paris Agreement and drive sustainable development. The Partnership currently supports over 40 countries across Africa.
