MoE and TSC Request Billions in Funding as KWS Ventures into Carbon Credit Market - February 2026

The Ministry of Education (MoE) is requesting an additional Sh30 billion for the 2026/27 financial year to support crucial reforms and increasing operational costs. Similarly, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is requesting an additional Sh36 billion for its 2026/27 budget. This funding is needed to facilitate expedited teacher recruitment and fulfill salary commitments stipulated in the current collective bargaining agreement. In a separate effort to raise funds, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is venturing into the carbon credits market. KWS aims to secure this new revenue stream to diversify its funding. This move is intended to reduce its reliance on traditional tourism.
