NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 21 – The National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) has invested more than Sh3 billion in climate change mitigation projects across the country, including flood control, tree planting and environmental conservation initiatives.
NG-CDF Chief Executive Officer Benjamin Magut said the fund was allocating up to five per cent of constituency allocations to climate-related interventions in support of the government’s environmental conservation agenda.
Speaking in Kisumu on Wednesday, Magut led NG-CDF officials in a tree-planting exercise along River Nyamasaria in Kisumu Central Constituency, where the fund has invested nearly Sh16 million in constructing dykes and installing gabions to protect communities from recurrent flooding.
