Kenya will benefit from Sh81.7 million funding from the UK to support green infrastructure projects. The UK did not specify the projects that will be supported but said they would be in the transport sector. The announcement was made through a press statement shared by the High Commission in Nairobi. Focusing on transport projects selected from the Africa Green Industrialisation Initiative (AGII), this innovative partnership will lead to closer cooperation with the Kenyan government on strategic infrastructure and investment and is the first partnership between the G7’s Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment and AGII,” the statement said. President William Ruto launched the ‘Africa Green Industrialisation Initiative’ at the COP28 meeting in Dubai in December last year. It aims to accelerate and scale green industries and businesses across Africa, promote climate mitigation and adaptation and catalyse economic green growth on the continent. The announcement was made during the ongoing G7 leaders summit in Italy to project the UK as force for global good. “The UK is committed to driving a more effective international system that improves lives for people across the globe and at home, " Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said. https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/2024-06-15-kenya-to-benefit-from-uks-sh82m-funding-for-green-projects/
