FLAGSHIP AMBITION
Mission 300,000 by 2030, aimed at directly supporting 300,000 underserved individuals to adapt, survive, and thrive in the face of intensifying climate impacts.
Problem Statement
Underserved communities (youth, women, and PWDs) remain highly vulnerable to climate shocks due to exclusion from health systems, climate adaptation planning, and social safety nets.
Impact Statement
By 2030, 300,000 underserved people in Kenya’s climate-vulnerable regions -especially women, youth, and persons with disabilities – will have improved health, livelihoods, and climate resilience through inclusive, community-led adaptation, strengthened health systems, and sustainable economic empowerment.
Thematic Areas
Equitable Climate Action
Supporting frontline communities, especially youth and women, to co-create and lead climate adaptation and mitigation strategies that enhance livelihoods, safeguard ecosystems, and improve community health outcomes.
Disability Inclusion
Embedding accessibility, participation, and tailored interventions for persons with disabilities across all climate action, public education, and advocacy work.
Youth and Women Empowerment
Investing in the leadership, innovation, and civic engagement of youth and women as essential co-drivers of sustainable, locally-led climate solutions.
KEY PARTNERS
To operationalize this plan, NEI will coordinate a national consortium of six Kenyan organizations, each contributing specialized expertise to scale climate-responsive solutions:
Najimudu Empowerment Initiative (NEI) – Consortium Lead
Kenya Youth Biodiversity Network – Climate literacy and environmental action
USIU – Research and MEAL coordination
GROOTs – Women-led resilience
Next Step Foundation – Disability inclusion and advocacy.
AREAS OF OPERATION
Implementation will be localized across six counties – Nairobi, Kisumu, Kilifi, Kajiado, Meru, and Busia – through strategic partnership with trusted community-based organizations (CBOs), youth and women-led groups, and PWD-led networks.
