Our Story
Kenya Climate Innovation Center (KCIC) is a World Bank's infoDev initiative, and was the first in a global network of CICs being launched by infoDev's Climate Technology Program (CTP) to support the development and scale up of locally relevant climate technologies.
KCIC was initially set up as a project by a consortium of partners in September 2012 and was funded by UKaid and DANIDA through the World Bank from September 2012 to May 2016. GVEP International (now Energy4Impact), PwC, Strathmore University and KIRDI were the lead partners in a consortium contracted by infoDev to establish and operate the KCIC.
KCIC was successfully registered as a company limited by guarantee in January 2015 and received a new round of funding from DANIDA to support its activities for the period June 2016 to December 2020.
