Project : Planning and Surveying in Nairobi, Mombasa, Thika and Embufor Informal Settlements (Ministry of Land, Housing And Urban Development)

Duration : 12 Months

The project development objective of the Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP) is to improve living conditions in informal settlements in selected municipalities in Kenya. This will be achieved by improving security of tenure and investing in infrastructure based on plans developed in consultation with the beneficiary communities.

KISIP will also create and test a national framework for systematic improvement and continuing investments in informal settlements, which can reach all informal settlements over the medium to long term. In addition to supporting improvements in existing informal settlements, KISIP will also support the Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development, and the selected County Governments in planning to help them anticipate and manage future demand for housing and environmentally healthy neighborhoods for Informal Settlements as cities expand.
