Promoting Pro-Poor, Climate Compatible Energy for Poverty Reduction and Sustainable
General
The overall aim of this project is to promote informed, inclusive and integrated local and national discussion of the economic, environmental and social cost-benefit analysis of different energy pathways for sustainable economic development and poverty reduction in Kenya. In particular, the aim is to frame this discussion from an “energy for national development” rather than – or rather than solely – a “climate protection” perspective in order to get greater political traction. This project also reflects a crucial moment for local development in Kitui County, where CAFOD’s strategic partner Caritas Kitui works. Planned open-cast, lignite coal extraction in the Mui Basin, Kitui County starting in 2016 could have potentially devastating economic, social, and environmental impacts on local communities, including on their food and water security and their land rights. Again, there is a huge information and analysis gap among local communities, and other stakeholders, including County and National government, and Catholic Bishops on the implications of the coal investments for sustainable economic development and poverty reduction in Kitui. It is vital that a baseline study be carried out before any coal investment-related activities begin. This project meets CAFOD’s Vision 2020 aims of: (1) promoting working with Church partners; (2) integrating advocacy with programme work and; (3) building capacity among Southern partners and identifying/developing new strategic partnerships. The research will provide quantitative and qualitative evidence for policy guidance and will be used to inform and generate evidence-based discussion among national and sub-national policy-makers, public, business, Church leaders, local communities, international development partners and other stakeholders, and to create demand for energy planning that can deliver pro-poor, climate compatible development. In terms of ensuring the project is “sustainable” in the sense of driving long-term structural change, this project can help to achieve such change by: • Providing decision makers with the evidence needed to make informed choices about future energy investments and utilization of the energy generated. • Building public “energy literacy” and in particular building understanding about pro-poor climate compatible energy pathways so citizens can organise for change and hold decision makers to account. • Build the capacity of local communities and local and national level partners to participate in an informed way in energy decision making and to advocate for pro-poor, sustainable energy solutions. • SE4ALL advocates for energy efficiency, equity and renewable sources this project can fast-track the achievement of these pillars
Entrenching transparency and accountability in the mining and extractives sector
General
The Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA) has been implementing a research-based advocacy project on the extractives industries in East Africa. In 2014, AMECEA conducted a study entitled “Righting the Injustices in the Extractive Industry”. In The study found that most potential mine sites in the region are found in places where the poor live, and they are mostly indigenous peoples but they do not benefit from the wealth beneath their land, they do not adequately and meaningfully participate in decision making process relating to exploration and extraction of minerals within their regions and existing legal frameworks are not responsive to the needs of these communities. This project has been designed to respond to the recommendations of the study and will focus on building structures at the community level through the church structures to facilitate community sensitization on the mining and extractives sector and raising their capacity to participate in decision making processes on exploration and extraction of minerals. The project will form regional networks of CSO and hold regions reflection forums to deliberate with duty bearers the pertinent questions of transparency and accountability within the mining and extractives sector. AMECEA will work with national justice and peace commissions of Kenya and Uganda. Core project areas include coordinate regional reach national advocacy campaigns on mining, comprehensive and independent review of existing mining legislation and bills before parliament that are considered inconsistent with Kenya and Uganda’s Constitutions, international human rights principles and have an impact on access to land rights and justice and will facilitate stakeholder discussions on the findings of legislative audits and recommend appropriate amendments to parliaments. The project will cover Kenya and Uganda. Intervention will be implemented at the national level in collaboration with the national bishops’ conference and the national justice and peace commissions. At the diocesan level, the project will work through the diocesan justice and peace commissions. In Kenya, the project will focus on Kwale, Kitui and Lamu counties while in Uganda, the Project will focus on Gulu and Hoima districts. The project period is three years (April 2015 to March 2018) at a budget of £60,000 for year 1, Year two £ 30,000, Year 3, 30,000. Year one project components entail organisational capacity building of AMECEA Justice and Peace department. Recruitment of appropriate personnel and equipment. A detailed project proposal and budget will be developed by staff to be recruited.
