A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON SIAYA, KAKAMEGA,TANA RIVER AND MOMBASA COUNTY GOVERNMENTS ‘RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS THROUGH POLICY, LEGISLATION, PROGRAMMING AND FINANCING.

This is a comparative analysis of how six counties in Kenya respond to climate change through policy,
legislation, programming, and budgeting. The research report does a comparative analysis of the
climate change response in the six counties against six main criteria listed under the overarching study
objectives using various indicators and parameters identified through the terms of reference. The
comparative analysis is further deepened by a robust conceptual framework Systems Dynamics Model
developed by the research team that explored the relationships between institutions, actors, policies,
and legislations on how the selected counties integrate climate change into their programming,
planning, and budgeting. This model has been used as an approach to analyse the complexity of climate
change institutions, their frameworks, actors, and policies and how they interact with one another
