Component 1: Integrated Settlement Upgrading
KISIP2 is built on the lessons learned from KISIP1 and has combined tenure regularization and infrastructure into one integrated upgrading approach. This approach aims at saving both money and time, ensuring better coordination between the two interventions in a settlement and deepening the project’s overall impact on the participating communities by supporting tenure regularization and infrastructure upgrading in the same communities. Settlements will benefit from one or both interventions depending on the initial condition of the settlement.
Two main interventions have been identified under this component:
This sub-component aims to coordinate and facilitate the conferment and formalization of secure land tenure for selected informal settlements. This will be achieved through planning, land surveying, preparation and issuance of leases and titles. This set of activities will be undertaken in uncontested public lands.
This sub-component will coordinate investment in services and infrastructure construction in selected settlements and counties. The investment portfolio menu includes roads, bicycle paths, pedestrian walkways, street and security lighting, vending platforms, solid waste collection and sorting, storm water drainage, water and sanitation systems, public parks and green spaces, as well as investment related to crime and violence including but not limited to community centers.
Component 2: Socio-Economic Inclusion Planning
This component constitutes carrying out socio-economic surveys to identify community needs and developing community led plans to address such needs, identification and prioritization of vulnerable populations in the community to existing World Bank and GOK safety net programs; raising awareness on utilization of green zones and public spaces; exploring community level Solid Waste Management (SWM) mechanisms aimed at raising awareness on a settlement level solid waste management including refuse collection. The component also undertakes activities such as crime and violence prevention through participatory crime and violence mapping to identify hotspots, investments in infrastructure to make these hotspots safer and investments in facilities such as community centers where projects for youth skills and conflict resolution can be undertaken.
Key milestones:
- 31 Community Development Plans (CDPs) Kilifi (6), Nakuru (4), Nairobi (4), Kisumu (6), Kakamega (5), Mombasa (1), Kiambu (3) and Uasin Gishu (2) completed and approved for implementation.
- 19,130 Youths engaged in various works associated with implementation of the project in different settlements.
- 15,829 Vulnerable people in Kisumu, Kakamega, Nakuru, Nairobi, Kilifi and Mombasa identified for possible linkage to existing social safety net programs.
Component 3: Institutional Capacity Development For Slum Upgrading
This component undertakes activities designed to strengthen the capacity of counties and national government institutions carry out slum upgrading and prevention. It assists national government institutions and counties review existing slum upgrading policies and strategies, supporting the development of County-Specific Slum Upgrading and Prevention Policy and Strategies; developing and carrying out activities to build capacities of national and county teams to implement such policies and strategies through training, workshops.
Key milestones:
- So far, the Project has supported the Government to implement the National Slum Upgrading and Prevention Policy of 2016 by developing the National Slum Upgrading and Prevention Strategy.
- A Geo-enabled Kenya Slum Management Information System (KeSMIS) developed and in use to capture data related to slum improvement initiatives.
- The Project is further assisting 25 counties to develop County Specific Slum Upgrading and Prevention Strategies.
- Mapping of slums and informal settlements across all counties is ongoing.
Component 4: Program Management And Coordination:
This component’s work entails carrying out activities to support project management and coordination activities of both national and county governments implementing agencies, such as the National Project Coordination Team (NPCT) and the County Project Coordination Teams (CPCTs).
