Background
ActionAid International Kenya (AAIK) is a non-partisan, non-religious development organization that has been working in Kenya since 1972 to end poverty and injustices. AAIK is among the leading anti-poverty agencies in Kenya, having a presence in 22 counties, working directly with over one million people living in poverty and exclusion. We are unapologetic in advancing Women’s Rights and ensuring that Women Living in Poverty and Exclusion are at the center of our work. AAIK also commits to youth engagement and community accountability.
AAIK implements the Danida Strategic Partnership 2 program in partnership with ActionAid Denmark. The programme aims to ensure that “societies are transformed to become more just, feminist, green, and resilient”. The programme runs in 7 counties: Nairobi, Isiolo, Kilifi, Garissa, Turkana, Baringo, and Nanyuki. We are in year 4 of implementation, and the programme will end in 2026. It is under this program that we seek to undertake a consultancy towards understanding the Kenya’s national fiscal policies related to the extractive sector, focusing on their effectiveness in maximizing funding for climate action and promoting sustainable mining.
Context
Kenya, like many African nations, is endowed with abundant natural resources, particularly in the mining sector. However, the country faces significant challenges in domestic resource mobilization (DRM) for climate action amidst economic constraints and debt servicing obligations. The African Union’s Africa Mining Vision (AMV) and its related frameworks emphasize the need for effective revenue management and the prevention of illicit financial flows. The recent introduction of the Africa Green Minerals Strategy highlights the need for Kenyan fiscal policies to adapt to support sustainable development and a just transition to renewable energy. ActionAid and Tax Justice Network Africa are seeking to assess Kenya’s fiscal policies in the extractive sector to enhance tax revenue for financing climate action.
