Project Context Country Context The urban transition is well under way in Kenya and urbanization is projected to continue at a rapid pace. In 2009 about 39 percent of the Kenyan population was residing in urban areas and the total urban population was estimated to be about 15.2 million people. Kenya’s five largest cities (Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, and Eldoret) account for approximately 34 percent of the urban population. It is estimated that urban areas will account for 54 percent of the population or 23.6 million people by 2030. The urban transition in Kenya will play an important role in determining the country’s growth prospects and social stability, which remains fragile after the 2008 post-election violence. Page 1 of 4 Sectoral and institutional Context Acknowledging the need to directly tackle the problem of poor living conditions in slums, the Government of Kenya has been implementing on a national slum upgrading program since 2005. A new constitution that took effect in March 2013 provides for decentralization ofresources and responsibilities to subnational governments and strengthens claims of citizens for access to basic services, including adequate housing and water and sanitation. The constitution explicitly incorporates several principles elaborated in the National Land Policy of 2009, including equitable access to land rights and security of land rights. The government has requested support from development partners to facilitate a systematic scale-up of slum upgrading, one that can reach all slums in the medium to long terms. In response, the World Bank, the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) and the French Development Cooperation (AFD) have worked with the government to jointly design and cofinance the Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP). KISIP focuses on improving living conditions in existing informal settlements or slums by investing in infrastructure and strengthening tenure security. It is also supporting the government in planning for future urban growth to help prevent the emergence of new slums. II. Proposed Development Objectives A.
