The Financing Locally Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) Program is an innovative initiative designed to build resilience at the local and community levels to combat the impacts of climate change. Jointly funded by the Government of Kenya, World Bank, DANIDA, SIDA, and the German Government, this innovative program was launched during the 2021/22 fiscal year and will operate over a span of five fiscal years. Through FLLoCA, communities are empowered to lead climate adaptation efforts, ensuring sustainable and impactful solutions at the grassroots level.

At the core of FLLoCA Program are two intergovernmental fiscal grants that are, in principle, available to all county governments in Kenya, being the County Climate Institutional Support (CCIS) Grant, meant to help and incentivise county governments to get legal, institutional and organisational arrangements in place to be able to budget, plan for and implement for Climate Change Adaptation through County Climate Change Actions (CCCAs); and the County Climate Resilience Investment (CCRI) grant, a performance-based grant to fund such County Climate Action. 

FLLoCA Program is expected to strengthen County Government capacity to plan, budget, implement and monitor climate mitigation and adaptation actions, with a focus on sub-county (ward and community) levels. This will be operationalized through two grants, the County Climate Institutional Support (CCIS) Grant and the County Climate Resilience Investment (CCRI) grant combined with minimum access criteria and performance measures for areas where FLLoCA seeks to make a difference.
