Despite EU being the major trade and investment partner to Kenya, and together with the EU Member States, also the largest provider of development finance, visibility is limited. Also the knowledge about the EU and its interests is limited among Kenyan stakeholders and population. This is due to several factors. First and foremost, the past and current fragmented, project-specific partner-implemented communication and visibility activities have largely failed to demonstrate the EU's added value as a partner for Kenya and its people. For the EU to be successful, there is a need to implement active and continuous outreach plans, where communications and dialogue, underpinned by participative policy analysis and a qualitative and well anchored project portfolio, positions the EU in a constructive, attractive and well known narrative among Kenyan population and stakeholders. The Cooperation and Partnership Facility will allow the EU Delegation in Kenya to pursue an active dialogue plan, including events and studies, an adapted communications strategy, and to maintain a highly relevant project portfolio underpinned by preparatory studies, as well as monitoring and evaluation missions. Notably, the Action will benefit the two Team Europe Initiatives on the Green Deal and the Human-Centred Digitalisation, underpinning and implementing the Strategic Dialogue. Seen from recent past, climate action has made up a substantial part of the use of Support Measures, including engagements in areas such as Support to National Treasury on Green Finance; Green diplomacy high level outreach; Monitoring and measurement methodology for greenhouse gases in projects following a Team Europe approach; and Policy analysis of Kenya's policies relevant to the Green Deal. Exact events to be financed under the upcoming phase of Support Measures is yet to be determined. Climate action is a strong element in the communication plan on the Green Deal, complementing project finance."}, {"bbox": [97, 913, 953, 939], "category": "Text", "text": "Supporting the MIP 2021-27 for cooperation with Kenya, interlocutors for the action include:"}, {"bbox": [134, 940, 883, 966], "category": "List-item", "text": "- Kenyan government and official representatives, including local governments"}, {"bbox": [134, 967, 684, 993], "category": "List-item", "text": "- Kenyan private and financial sectors in prioritised areas"}, {"bbox": [134, 993, 957, 1019], "category": "List-item", "text": "- Kenyan civil society, activists, think tanks and academic resources in prioritised areas"}, {"bbox": [134, 1019, 715, 1045], "category": "List-item", "text": "- Kenyan media, news agencies and influencers (multipliers)"}, {"bbox": [134, 1046, 440, 1072], "category": "List-item", "text": "- General population in Kenya"}, {"bbox": [134, 1073, 1133, 1126], "category": "List-item", "text": "- Actors in a Team Europe approach: EU, Development Finance Institutions, or EU Member States (civil society, think tanks, media, private sector, academia)"}, {"bbox": [134, 1126, 1133, 1178], "category": "List-item", "text": "- International Community, including UN RCO, UNEP, UN Habitat and other entities in the UN / Bretton Woods system"}, {"bbox": [85, 1233, 606, 1266], "category": "Section-header", "text": "# 3 DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION"}, {"bbox": [85, 1298, 511, 1330], "category": "Section-header", "text": "## 3.1 Objectives and Expected Outputs"}, {"bbox": [97, 1345, 1104, 1422], "category": "Text", "text": "The Overall Objective of this action is to position the EU as a partner of reference in Kenya, strengthening the EU-Kenya partnership and the EU's geopolitical position in line with Global Gateway and Team Europe Initiatives."}, {"bbox": [97, 1451, 503, 1478], "category": "Text", "text": "The Specific Objectives of this action are to"}, {"bbox": [172, 1478, 949, 1504], "category": "List-item", "text": "1.
