Target 20: By 2020, at the latest, the mobilization of financial resources for effectively implementing the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 from all sources, and in accordance with the consolidated and agreed process in the Strategy for Resource Mobilization, should increase substantially from the current levels.

The National Treasury and Planning through the State Department for Planning in partnership with development partners and stakeholders, produces a Comprehensive Public Expenditure Review (CPER) report on a three-year period that is well researched to replace the annual public expenditure review. The second Comprehensive Public Expenditure Review (CPER) 2017 presented a comprehensive analysis of public expenditure during the first three years of devolution thereby linking expenditure to achievements while taking cognizance of cost of achieving the results. The CPER also assesses the extent to which expenditure addresses national and county level priorities in order to strengthen the link between policies, planning and budgeting. Consequently, it informs current and future expenditure and budget decisions and is also a key input in the MTEF budget cycle. The CPER included an in-depth sectoral analysis for health, agriculture, infrastructure and energy sectors. However, the Environment Protection, Water and Natural Resources Sector was reviewed under the overall analysis.
GoK with support from development partners has progressively increased budget allocations to the NRM sector.
Development partners support e.g. GIZ ABS, integrated platform for clearing research permitting, NACOSTI, NEMA, KWS…
