Guide and co-operate partnership and linkage with other international bodies under Article 16. 5. Carry out all functions of the Assembly, including electing members to the Council, appointing the Director-General, considering and adopting amendments to the Agreement, and receiving reports from the secretariat. The Committee undertook public participation upon placement of the adverts in the print media on 23rd July 2024 requesting for comments and submission of memoranda from the members of the public and other relevant stakeholders, pursuant to Article 118(1) (b) of the Constitution and Standing Orders. The Committee received memorandums and oral submission from the following institutions: 1. Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry. 2. Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora. 3. The National Treasury and Economic Planning. 4. The Office of the Attorney-General. We observed the following. Having considered the Agreement, the Committee made the following observations: 1. Membership of the GGGI will enable Kenya access finance and technical support to mainstream green growth and climate change actions in national planning. 2. The memorandum to the GGGI will enable Kenya benefit from sharing and gaining knowledge through multi-country co-operation. 3. The GGGI presents an opportunity for Kenya to explore and tap into the benefits of the green growth economy, which includes accelerating green financing and creating green jobs. 4. Kenya is a beneficiary of the Green Climate Fund with a number of projects finance opportunities access, which has enabled the country to carry its development objectives with the climate lens. 5. GGGI as a delivery partner, is a great opportunity for Kenya to leverage for more project financing by the Global Climate Fund. The ratification of the Agreement by Kenya establishes the GGGI and provides an opportunity for Kenya to participate fully in the GGGI activities, including voting rights in the GGGI Assembly and Council. The GGGI will help us get funds from the Global Climate Fund. We will have a structure that is more organised and the ratification of this Agreement by this National Assembly will now make us full members of GGGI."
