At the World Bank, we recognize that delivering on our vision of a green, resilient, and inclusive recovery will only be possible by taking a multi-sectoral approach with our partners.

In Kenya, the World Bank, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands have been collaborating with the Government to translate Kenya’s ambitious climate agenda into scaled-up action on the ground. The Financing Locally Led Climate Action Program (FLLoCA) is the first national model of devolved climate finance, which supports partnerships between government and citizens to identify and invest in solutions to address climate change. 

The FLLoCA program deepens community participation and citizen engagement below county level to reach wards and villages, prioritizing community  and local knowledge partnered with climate science. Read more here, and revisit FLLoCA's launch press release from 2021 here.

The Social Sustainability Initiative for All (SSI4ALL) Trust Fund, led by the World Bank, is dedicated to fostering societies where everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, has the opportunity to thrive. Our work focuses on creating inclusive societies and strengthening communities’ resilience to overcome social, economic, and environmental challenges.

Our Mission

SSI4ALL’s mission is to bridge gaps in access to essential services, empower marginalized communities, and promote resilience against crises such as climate change, conflict, and pandemics. Through partnerships with governments, multilateral organizations, donors, and civil society, we’re committed to supporting meaningful, sustainable change in communities worldwide.

Our Focus

SSI4ALL operates through two main pillars:

  • Inclusive Societies: Enabling full participation by improving access to services, opportunities, and dignity for all, particularly marginalized groups such as youth, women, and the LGBTQ+ community.
  • Resilient Communities: Strengthening community resilience against crises, with programs like Kenya’s Financing Locally Led Climate Action (FLLoCA), which supports locally-driven climate action.

Our Impact

Since its inception, SSI4ALL has partnered with countries across the globe to develop innovative, people-centered solutions for social sustainability. Our projects range from community-driven climate resilience initiatives to inclusive policy reform and development.

    Social Development

    Social development focuses on the need to "put people first" in development processes. It lifts the poor and vulnerable by empowering people, building cohesive and resilient societies, and making institutions accessible and accountable to citizens.
