Kenya will receive Sh1.2 billion grant from the Norwegian government to protect its marine environment.
The grant announcement was made yesterday by the Kenya Maritime Authority and the Norwegian Maritime Agency during the opening of the International Maritime Organization Level 3 Oil Spill Response Management Training at a Mombasa hotel.
The Norwegian Coastal Administration said Kenya is a beneficiary of a five-year African partnership. It mobilises
governments in Eastern and Southern Africa to put up a common front in responding to the international concern over oil
spills.
The Norwegian Coastal Administration has been partnering with its Kenyan counterpart Kenya Maritime Authority to help boost the capacity for Kenya to respond to oil spills emergencies.
