The Northern Corridor Transit and Transport Coordination Authority (NCTTCA) has secured fresh funding from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to accelerate the transition to cleaner freight transport.
The funding agreement will support the implementation of the Northern Corridor Green Freight Strategy 2030 through greenhouse gas emissions tracking, a study on the electrification of operations at the Port of Mombasa and programmes aimed at increasing women's participation in the freight transport sector.
Although UNEP's latest contribution amounts to about $200,000 (ShSh 25.8 million), the programme has already mobilised approximately $1.6 million (Sh207 million) from development partners, including Germany's development agency (GIZ) and the Kühne Climate Centre.
