The Republic of Kenya is a multi-party democratic State founded on the national values and principles of governance referred to in its constitution. Hanns-Seidel Foundation offers support in the implementation of these values and principles through civic education activities for the Kenyan people and capacity building for elected Leaders and nominated Office Holders on the national and county level. Guiding principle is the support of an constructive dialogue between Government and civil society in all spheres of politics and decision-making by fostering the skills and knowledge necessary for effective collaboration.

Africa is, despite it’s limited contribution, the continent most severely affected by global climate change effects, and it is the continent which is the least able to cope with its negative impacts. In the framework of International Cooperation, Hanns-Seidel Foundation supports a wide range of activities aimed at Mitigation of or Adaptation to Climate Change effects in Kenya ranging from grass-root and smallholder levels through all levels of Government and Administration up to the level of International and Global Cooperation. As a Political Foundation, we are seldom engaged in technical aspects of Climate Change. Rather, our concern are policy issues dealing with the challenges of Climate Change and activities to create and share knowledge about ways to adopt and mitigate its adverse effects.
