Abstract

South-South Cooperation (SSC) has become a structurally different form of development that is a challenge to the conditionality-based structures of North-South aid. This paper discusses the technical education assistance given by Indonesia to Kenya as a development diplomacy tool in the SSC context, filling a literature gap on how Southern donors use education assistance as a soft power and public diplomacy instrument. Based on qualitative documentary analysis of policy reports, institutional documentation, and peer-reviewed literature, 2009-2025, the study explores three dimensions of analysis: the institutional architecture of SSC in education in Indonesia, how technical education partnerships are aligned with the industrialization agenda of Kenya Vision 2030 and the soft power politics inherent in Indonesian involvement as an emerging Southern donor. The results show that the Indonesian technical education aid, in the form of scholarships, TVET capacity-building, and bilateral memoranda of understanding is a demand responsive, sovereignty-respecting model that fulfills Kenya-reported skills shortage and serves Indonesia development diplomacy goals. This work advances both constructivist explanations of SSC and the literature on public diplomacy by developing technical education as an analytically meaningful yet under-researched tool of Southern Unity.

Abstract

Climate change causes devastating socio-economic and environmental effects. Developing countries like Kenya that contribute little to global greenhouse emissions are disproportionately affected. This paper explores how Kenya’s environmental diplomacy at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) contributes to mobilisation of climate adaptation finance. The study is guided by concepts of environmental diplomacy and climate finance, utilizing qualitative research methods through semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. The findings demonstrate that through environmental diplomacy at UNEP, Kenya strengthens diplomatic visibility, builds coalitions and global partnerships that would indirectly increase the chances of securing climate finance. Nonetheless, some drawbacks hinder the transformation of Kenya’s diplomatic leverage into concrete financial outcomes. These include geopolitics, institutional separation of UNEP and United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), competition, bureaucracy and national institutional capacity. This research contributes to academic discourse on environmental diplomacy, affirming that to effectively mobilise climate finance, a country must balance between diplomacy, reinforcing national institutions and engagement with global governance structures.

Abstract

This paper analyses the World Bank initiatives in promoting its role in decentralizing climate finance through the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) and the Kenya Climate-Smart Agriculture Project (KCSAP) in Lamu County, Kenya. A qualitative case study is used to examine the substantial tension between the Bank's perception of its institutional function, its actual bureaucratic performance, and the pressing demands, through the intersection of Function of Role Theory and Climate Resilience Theory. A significant implementation gap is revealed from the empirical findings, highlighting that the creation of the local ward committees in the projects purportedly regularizes climate governance. However, the strict procurement regulations provided by the Bank, systemic delays in the release of funds, and strict environmental standards have compromised local sovereignty. Misplaced expectations are frequently encounters through these efforts and the occurrence of elite capture, hindering marginalized groups from cultivating genuine and transformative resilience. This paper concludes that the international development finances must abandon rigid technological imposition in favour of adaptable funding models and genuinely integrate local survival knowledge to thrive in extremely fragile socio-ecological zones.
