Policy and Legal Frameworks
Shaping Just and Responsive Energy Policies
The Problem
Kenya’s energy sector depends on strong laws and policies to guarantee fairness, accountability, and sustainability.
Without coherent frameworks, citizens are left vulnerable to opaque deals, poor environmental oversight, and inequitable benefit sharing.
At both national and county levels, outdated or weak implementation mechanisms often hinder progress toward transparent and inclusive energy governance.
What We’re Doing About It
Research and Analysis
We assess existing energy and extractives policies, identifying gaps that limit participation, environmental protection, or accountability.
Advocacy and Engagement
EGP provides technical input into policy and legislative processes — ensuring that energy laws and regulations advance justice, transparency, and sustainability.
Accountability and Oversight
We monitor how policies are implemented, facilitate evidence-based dialogue between government, citizens, and industry, and hold duty-bearers accountable for equitable outcomes.
County-Level Strengthening
Our work supports county governments to design and enforce context-appropriate policies that reflect local needs and priorities.
