African Centre For Environment, Energy and Climate Advocacy
United for Climate Action, Clean Energy, and Resilient Communities
African Centre for Environment, Energy, and Climate Advocacy (ACEECA) works across communities, institutions, and policy spaces to advance environmental protection and climate resilience. Together with partners, we restore ecosystems, promote renewable energy solutions, and strengthen local capacity to respond to climate change.
What does climate action mean for everyday communities across Kenya?
Climate change is not an abstract global debate. It affects farmers' harvests, access to clean water, energy affordability, public health, and economic stability. At ACEECA, we work at the intersection of Environmental Protection, Climate Action, Clean Energy and Climate Advocacy with a strong focus on children, Youth, Women and Persons abled differently (PwD) in climate vulnerable rural communities.
EXPLORE OUR STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK

Cross - Cutting Principles
Our work across Environmental Protection, Climate Action, Clean Energy, and Climate Advocacy is guided by the following cross-cutting principles:
Gender equality & inclusion
We ensure that women, youth, persons with disabilities, and marginalized communities are actively involved in environmental governance and climate solutions.
Community governance
We strengthen grassroots institutions and community-led environmental stewardship.
Digital transformation
We leverage digital tools for climate resilience and environmental protection.
Evidence - Driven Climate Action And Impact accountability.
