Africa Sustainable Infrastructure (ASI) program
Kenya's EMCA prioritizes sustainable development and bears the responsibility and cost element for ensuring this to developers. Kenyan laws also subscribe to the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) definition on sustainable development as ‘Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs’. The goal of this programme is to accelerate sustainable investment and finance initiative in Africa.Through its Action Plan, NECSA-K seeks to shape the sustainable development debate and move decision making processes at the planning, Construction and Implementation stages of Infrastructure projects. This will ensure policy objectives and recommendations are integrated across sectors and to optimize for social, economic and environmental outcomes. Elements of the Action Plan may form key policy and institutional planning in ensuring sustainability and quality infrastructure projects.
In Kenya today there exists a number of sector specific coalitions. Unfortunately, all these sectors do not have platform to address and plan national environment advocacy. This requires one voice for environment Civil Society organizations in Kenya.
