Community Development Trust Fund (CDTF) is a joint initiative of the Government of Kenya and the European Union (EU). Since 2007, CDTF has also received funding from the Embassy of Denmark (Danida) in Nairobi.
CDTF is implementing a four year programme, the Community Development Programme Phase Four (CDP 4), with two components,
the Community Development Initiatives (CDI) funded by the EU and the Community Environment Facility II (CEF II) funded jointly by the EU and Danida.
The goal of CEF II is to improve local livelihood systems through conservation of community natural resources. CEF II plans to mainstream issues of climate change and low carbon development in its projects.
Recognizing the impacts of climate change on natural resources, CEF II has therefore encouraged its beneficiaries to integrate climate change issues into their project proposals to CDTF and undertake initiatives that promote sustainable renewable rural energy technologies and climate change adaptation.
In addition to supporting community environmental projects, Danida has provided an additional grant of Kshs. 220 million to support further projects addressing climate change risks (adaptation) and renewable energy (mitigation) with a scope of involving the private sector and income generating activities through the Fast Start Climate Change Programme.
It is against this background that CDTF is inviting applications from suitably qualified and experienced Kenyan citizens to fill the positions of two short-term consultants in areas of climate change and renewable energy.
