not include for now! KIFFWA
Kenya Innovative Financing Facility Water (KIFFWA)
The objective is to facilitate new forms of financing and cooperation in water instead of traditional Public-Private Partnerships. It will not provide investments, but will finance the preparatory work on project and financial engineering and generate investments by third parties.
Kenya’s need for investment in water is enormous. The Kenya National Water Master Plan 2030, published in 2014, estimates that Kshs 2.85 trillion (around €23.7 billion) is required until 2030 for investment in water supply, sewerage, irrigation and hydropower projects to achieve the Vision 2030 objectives, which is a coverage of 100%. The huge financing gap that cannot be covered by national budget and donors, has led to the idea of finding new innovative sources of finance for funding of activities.
KIFFWA aims at facilitating the preparation and support of new and innovative financing for initiatives in the water sector that are focused on the improvement of water security and water safety. Facilitation could include, but is not limited to, brokering between implementers and funders, technical advice on the ideal mix of financing options and instruments, providing support to financing entities to appraise financial sustainability or economic viability, etc.
It should be noted that KIFFWA will not provide funding for projects itself, but facilitates project financing by third parties.
The facility aims to address bottlenecks that prevent investment in water projects by private investors, such a commercial banks, equity funds, pension funds and companies and remove them.
KIFFWA will be set up following an approach that involves two phases:
I. Formulation phase. A team of external experts formulates the KIFFWA Facility.
II. Call of proposals. In this phase the management of the KIFFWA project will be tendered through an international competitive process.
The two phases will lead to a clear ‘Go / No go’ decision. This decision will be taken by the budget holder (the Embassy). During the formulation phase the following elements of KIFFWA have to be identified and detailed: • KIFFWA sub-sectors
Although KIFFWA is limited to the water sector, it is not yet clear in what sub-sectors the facility will invest. Potential subsectors are:
o Water supply (rural and urban) o Sewerage
o Sanitation
o Urban planning
o Urban drainage
o Irrigation
o Flood protection
o Water resources management o Waste water treatment
o Solid waste management
During the formulation phase, the consultant will have to identify the most promising subsectors and advise on whether KIFFWA can be open to all water subsectors or should be limited to some subsectors only.
Important criteria for projects KIFFWA can support are:
o Value for Money;
o Financial sustainability of projects;
o Poverty reduction;
o Sustainability using the Financial, Institutional, Environmental, Technical and Social (F.I.E.T.S.) factors of sustainability;
o Legal and regulatory framework in place: not all sub-sectors may be suitable for private sector investment from a legal and regulatory perspective.
Other criteria may be identified by the formulation team itself. Based on the criteria an analysis will be made of the most promising subsectors.
• Bottlenecks to investment
KIFFWA will address identified bottlenecks to innovative financing in the water sector in Kenya and develop a pipeline of bankable projects that can be funded by innovative financing.
• Scenario analysis: develop the scope of work of KIFFWA.
In case of a 'go', the consultants will determine the scope of work of KIFFWA in consultation with the Embassy. In order to do so, two scenarios will be developed based on a high and a low budget for KIFFWA in the range between €5 million and €9 million. The two scenarios will be submitted to EKN accompanied by a description of each scenario and an advice to the Embassy on the preferred scenario.
• Selection of activities and type of projects
Based on the scope of work the consultants will develop a procedure to determine the selection of activities and projects that will be supported. KIFFWA initially aims to support projects with a total investment cost between €100.000 and €10.000.000. At time of formulation, the consultants should indicate whether this is realistic and propose the size of projects that KIFFWA will aim for.
• Financial sustainability vs. commercial viability
• KIFFWA Marketing
• Dutch financing instruments
The project is in its formulation phase, carried out by WASTE.
Sustainability indicators are listed for 5 key factors of sustainability: Financial, Institutional, Environmental, Technical and Social (the F.I.E.T.S. approach of sustainability).
Financial sustainability
• Number of projects that include financing by a commercial financing institution (non- government).
• Number of projects that reach financial close.
• Number of projects that generate enough cashflow to service debts.
Institutional sustainability
• Number of involved partners, per project, disagregated into defined categories, such as government, NGO, financing insttitution, equity investor, etc.
Environmental sustainablility
• Number of projects that contribute to climate adaptation
• Number of projects that contribute to improved integrated water resources management Technical sustainability
• Number of projects for which infrastructure is constructed and operational.
• Percentage of budget available for operation and maintenanc, per project and aggregated. Social sustainability
• Number op people consulted during development of projects (per project, disaggregated by gender).
• Number of people benefitting, per project and disaggregated by income class.
Impact:
Improved public health
Improved yields of agricultural crops
Improved water resources management
Improved adaptation to climate change
Improved lives of women and children
Outcome:
Improved availability of water for irrigation, domestic use and industry
Improved access to safe drinking water
Improved access to improved sanitation
Projects identified that are potentially bankable
Financial engineering of bankable projects for which financial engineering has been concluded successfully
Increased investment by private sector in water in Kenya.
Third Party Investors in water supply, sewerage, irrigation, and when identified, the subsectors mentioned under 'project plan'.

EKN-funded interventions in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands of Kenya
This project will be used in support of identification studies for new projects related to food security. The initial contract is with Imares on the identification of the potential of commercial fish farming in Kenya and Dutch investments.
80% of Kenya's landmass is arid and semi-arid land. It is estimated that about 25% of the country's human population line in the ASALs (Arid and Semi-Arid Lands). The are account for more than 80% of eco-tourism interests in the country while also 70% of the national livestock is in the ASALs. The ASALS have the lowest development indicators and the highest incidence of poverty in the country. The ASALs are also the areas most prone to drought.
There are important differences between arid and semi-arid areas. The economy of arid areas is dominated by mobile pastoralism, while in the better-watered and better serviced semi-arid areas a more mixed economy prevails, including rain-fed and irrigated agriculture, agro-pastoralism, bio-enterprise and conservation tourism-related activities.
This evaluation was commissioned by the Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands in Kenya (EKN). Its took place between January 2013 and February 2013. The study consists of a retrospective and a prospective part, the recommendations serving the current EKN programe of funding interventions in the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) in Kenya.
The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) in kenya is implementing its Multi-Annual Strategic Plan (MASP) for the period 2012-2015. the development agendas in the MASP focuses on three themes: Security and Rule of Law; Food Security; and Water with climate and environment as cross-cutting issues.
The problems in the ASL require a long term approach, but funding of the current activities cannot be open-ended. In other words, institutional sustainability needs to be addressed. Currently there is a great deal of fragmentation in the sector.
Review the final reports by LWF, ACC and AWF of activities that EKN has funded in the previous four years**
These interventions are conducted by 4 conservation organizations (Partners), working in these geographic areas; the African Wildlife Conservation Centre (ACC) and the Laiki[pia Wildlife Forum (LWF) and the Nothern Rangeland Trust )NRT)
