Kenya - Kapchorwa-Suam-Kitale and Eldoret Bypass Roads Project

The Kapchorwa-Suam-Kitale and Eldoret Bypass Roads Project is a multinational operation that provides an important link between Uganda and Kenya. It's a regional road traversing via Suam border and supports regional and national social-economic growth strategies and improves the traffic congestion in Eldoret Town. The project road supports the regional integration objective of member countries of East African Community (EAC) and Great Lakes Region, especially Uganda and Kenya by connecting to Suam and further linking with Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Sudan. This is a transformative project that contributes to socio-economic development and regional integration in eastern Uganda and western Kenya. In addition, the improvement of the road will promote the effort of the Governments in poverty reduction through better road infrastructure in the two countries by providing all weather access for the supply of farm inputs and evacuation of produce to major market centers, thus improving the level of service and efficiency of the road network and reducing transport costs. In both countries, the project also includes supervision consultancy, studies, training of unemployed youth and capacity building components. The construction period of the roads contracts will be 36 months for Uganda and 30 months for Kenya.
