A Carbon Market Guidebook for Kenyan Enterprises
public
KEPSA

Enterprises in Kenya encompass a diverse and dynamic landscape, representing a crucial driver of economic growth and employment opportunities in the country. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in particular, play a pivotal role, contributing significantly to the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) and accounting for 90 percent of the labor force. Enterprises must scale their climate action to meet Kenya’s climate mitigation and adaptation goals. However, the lack of funding has limited their contribution to the climate agenda. Debt constitutes most of enterprises’ funding, but the price of debt remains very high and loan tenors are short. The availability of patient capital, including private equity, is also low.
