The German Government is supporting Kenyan government to host the Africa Climate Summit and to deliver post summit related activities including branding Kenyan pavilion at COP28 to disseminate the outcome of ACS23. The Summit brought together leadership from African governments, development partners, intergovernmental organisations, private sector, women, youth, children's groups, research institutions, Think-Tanks and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to design and catalyze actions and solutions for climate change in Africa.This inaugural Summit provided a platform to deliberate on the nexus of climate change, Africa’s development reality, and the need to push for increased investment in climate action globally and specifically in Africa. The Summit presents a bold and ambitious new African vision for a green economic transformation that optimises the continent’s abundant human and natural resources and integrates enhanced climate adaptation and mitigation outcomes. It is an opportunity to promote effective climate action that enhances livelihoods, accelerates growth and helps Africa avoid being locked out of international markets and lock-in emission intensive development.The Summit ensured Africa’s voice is elevated globally and integrated into existing international fora such as UNGA, G7/G20 processes, and UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) COP28, among others. * ContextKenya, in partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC), co-hosted the inaugural Africa Climate Summit (ACS) in Nairobi from 4th to 6th September 2023. The ACS was a landmark event that brought together distinguished leaders from Africa and beyond, development partners, intergovernmental organizations, the private sector, academia, civil society organizations, women, and youth. The summit delivered the Africa’s position on climate action documented in the Nairobi Declaration.The Government of Kenya through the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry intends to demonstrate the outcome of the Africa Climate Summit at COP28 in the Kenya Pavilion.In order to amplify the outcome of ACS23, focusing on the Nairobi Declaration and commitments, GIZ seeks to engage a regional media company with presence across Africa, to conduct public sensitization and media advocacy on the Nairobi declaration and ACS announcements.Such reach-out activities were already successfully implemented in Kenia, therefore the GIZ office has good experiences with this format. * Tasks to be performed by the contractorWorkstream 1: Post ACS Townhalls
