The Kenya Platform for Climate Governance (KPCG) has welcomed the gazettement of the Public Benefits Organizations Regulations, 2026, on March 18th, 2026, hailing them as a significant step towards strengthening governance in the public benefit sector.

The regulations provide a detailed framework for the PBO Act, covering registration, governance, oversight, and operationalization.
Key proposals from KPCG reflected in the regulations include an interpretation section and stronger procedural safeguards for PBOs.
The regulations now explicitly permit PBOs to engage in lawful income-generating activities to support their public benefit purposes.
KPCG, through its National Coordinator Faith Ngige, emphasizes that effective implementation, member education, and practical support are now crucial for the sector's transition.
