Article summary

The British High Commission Nairobi has announced that the British International Investment will provide US$7.1m for two projects in Kenya, as part of a wider package of investment in Africa. US$2.1m will provide solar-powered and water-efficient irrigation systems to 9,000 farmers in Kenya, which will help to increase farmers' income as well as build their resilience and adapt to the impact of climate change. The remaining US$5m will go towards the manufacture of 100 electric buses in Kenya to help meet local demand for affordable but clean public transport. As they replace diesel powered polluters, they will stop 5,000 tonnes of CO2 entering the atmosphere every year.
