Kenya - Feasibility Studies and Detailed Designs for the Nairobi Inclusive Sanitation Improvement Project

The project forms an integral part of Government efforts to improve access to sustainable sanitation in line with Kenya’s Vision 2030, the Big Four Development Agenda, and the SDG Sanitation Targets. It supports preparation of feasibility studies and detailed engineering designs for twenty-two (22) peri-urban and informal settlements to facilitate delivery and access to sustainable sewage and faecal sludge management infrastructure and services in Nairobi. The Project demonstrates Government’s commitment to improve the quality of life and living conditions of Kenyans, and provides opportunity for better city level sanitation planning, and increased sector investments in partnership with private sector financiers and development partners. It shall be implemented under two components with AWF support. Component 1: Feasibility studies and engineering design consists of activities to provide opportunity to contribute to increase sustainable access to sewage and faecal sludge management infrastructure and services for people living in deprived urban centres in Nairobi; Component 2: Project management involves project and knowledge management activities. AWF will contribute € 980,767 representing 86% of the total project cost of € 1,138,644. It is expected that the Project will commence in April 2020 and be implemented over a 32 months duration. It is anticipated that the investments will contribute to improve public and environmental health, and the socio-economic well-being of people living in Urban, peri-urban and informal settlements in Nairobi.
