Advancing African Risk Capacity In Kenya
This policy paper focuses on the ARC contingency planning process in Kenya and analyses the compatibility of the development, as well as the implementation of related plans, with human rights standards. It thereby applies the human rights-based approach to climate and disaster risk financing (HRBA-CDRF) to assess the degree of compatibility, identify room for improvement, and provide recommendations addressed to the responsible actors. The methodology is based on the HRBA-CDRF with its five principles of non-discrimination and equality, participation and empowerment, transparency, accountability, and do no harm.
