The development objective of the Nairobi Metropolitan Services Improvement Project for Kenya is to strengthen urban services and infrastructure in the Nairobi metropolitan region. There are four components to the project. The first component is institutional reform and planning. This component will assist existing local authorities within the Nairobi metropolitan region, as well as new entities and authorities that will be created once the devolved government aspect of the new constitution takes effect. These new entities possibly include county governments, metropolitan authorities, and agencies, and other units of administration. This component will support the capacity enhancement and planning activities of these entities. The second component is local government infrastructure and services. This component will finance on a grant basis priority urban infrastructure in 13 selected urban areas in the Nairobi metropolitan region. The infrastructure to be financed will be the responsibility of the current local authorities and under the mandate of the future county governments. All subprojects will be selected on the basis of the existing participatory process for prioritizing local investments, called the Local Authority Service Development Action Plan, which provide the basis for local authority strategic plans. These are in line with Nairobi Metro 2030 Strategy. The third component is metropolitan infrastructure and services. This component will assist in providing large-scale metropolitan infrastructure in the areas of solid waste, transport, and sewerage services. In contrast to those financed under second component, these investments will be large-scale which is crucial for the development and integration of the metropolitan region as a whole. Regarding solid waste, the component will support the preparation and implementation of an integrated metropolitan-wide solid waste management (ISWM) strategy. The fourth component is Project management, and monitoring and evaluation. This component will finance the management activities associated with project implementation, including establishing and implementing a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation (M and E) system and training of the implementing agencies in environmental and social management. This component will also provide funds to undertake feasibility studies and prepare designs for implementation under a potential follow-on project in the urban sector in Kenya, and for other studies identified and agreed during implementation.
