Abstract

The chapter illustrates the experience with different types of PES projects in Kenya. It starts with the Kenya Agricultural Carbon Project (KACP), a PES project designed to make use of voluntary carbon market to compensate farmers for carbon sequestration. Subsequently, the experiences with small-scale and large-scale watershed PES projects are discussed. Finally, the potential of entrepreneurship and innovation to create markets for environmental goods in Kenya is explored by means of selected case studies (Maassai-owned slaughterhouse, microinsurance for farmers and flower exports). All the case studies illustrate that the presence of the private sector is crucial in making use of PES as a vehicle to create a market for environmental goods.
