Strengthening the Capacity of Kenya County Governments and Water Services Providers to Design and Implement Green and Climate Resilient Water Supply Systems

Project Summary:

This grant aims to support capacity building for county governments and water services providers (WSPs) across 19 counties in Kenya. It aims to strengthen the institutional and technical capacity of Kenyan county governments and their WSPs to plan, design, and implement climate-resilient rural water investments.

It is organized around three activity areas:

• Developing County-wide Water and Sanitation Strategies and Investment Plans (CWSSIPs), including design manuals that incorporate climate resilience and multi-use water approaches.
• Technical support to 33 WSPs in preparing Performance Improvement Action Plans (PIAPs) to improve operational efficiency, reduce non-revenue water, and enhance creditworthiness.
• Training and knowledge exchange to learn from institutions such as K-Water and the Korea Environmental Corporation.

This grant is aligned as follows:

• The grant supports the implementation of the proposed World Bank-financed Kenya Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Program for Results (K-WASH PforR - P179012).
