KISIP 2 - Kisumu, Kisumu (2026)

27/07/2026

BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT.

Today, the Kisumu County KISIP II Project conducted a comprehensive capacity-building training for Settlement Executive Committee (SEC) Members drawn from the project settlements of Bandani, Nyawita, Migosi, Manyatta A, Manyatta B, Kibuye, Shauri Yako, Shauri Moyo, Swahili, Bondwni and Sangoro.

The training equipped SEC members with practical knowledge on:

-The World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF), with emphasis on stakeholder engagement, information disclosure, and grievance management.

-Roles and responsibilities of SECs, GRCs, community members, and County Government in protecting and maintaining project infrastructure.

-Effective grievance handling, referral pathways, confidentiality, and survivor-centred approaches for GBV/SEA/SH cases.

-Environmental, Social, Health and Safety (ESHS) safeguards and responsible community engagement.

-Protecting access roads, drainage systems, walkways, and other public infrastructure from encroachment and misuse.

-Sustainable waste management using the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover and Dispose hierarchy.

-Safe community action, emphasizing protection of public assets without causing harm, discrimination, or unlawful enforcement.

The session was officially opened by the County KISIP II Coordinator, Mr. Patrick Ogunde, who underscored the critical roles of stakeholders, especially the SEC members in safeguarding these community infrastructures, while promoting accountability and strengthening grievance redress mechanisms. The training was also graced by Chiefs and Ward Administrators of these settlements, reaffirming a shared commitment to sustainable management of KISIP II investments.

The training reinforces KISIP II's commitment to empowering communities with the knowledge and skills needed to safeguard infrastructure investments, strengthen accountability, promote environmental stewardship, and ensure that the benefits of the project are sustained for generations to come.

‎NPCT COORDINATOR CALLS ON CONTRACTOR TO INTENSIFY WORKS AS KISIP2 PROJECTS NEAR COMPLETION ACROSS KISUMU SETTLEMENTS.
‎
‎KISIP National Project Coordination Team (NPCT) Coordinator, Eng. George Arwa, has challenged contractors to intensify works and improve mobilization to ensure timely delivery of quality infrastructure projects across Kisumu's informal settlements.
‎
‎Leading a joint inspection team comprising NPCT members, CPCT, consultants, contractors, and community leaders, Eng. Arwa assessed progress under Lots 1 and 2 in Bandani, Nyawita, Migosi, Manyatta A, Manyatta B, and Kibuye.
‎
‎The visit established that most road projects are substantially complete, with only a few sections remaining. In Bandani, the contractor committed to completing Auji-Pundo and Pundo-NITA roads on schedule, while Pamjos-Kamyamedha Road is being redone following defects identified.
‎CPCT coordinator Mr. Patrick Ogunde welcomed the approval of the tarmacking of the Kanyamedha-Toyota Kenya Road, which will link Bandani Settlement to the Kondele-Busia Bypass, significantly improving connectivity.
‎
‎In Nyawita, the contractor was directed to complete the remaining section of Koyoo-Koyuga Road and finalize walkway works ahead of handover. In Migosi, where 1.8 of the 4 kilometres of independent drainage has been completed, the contractor was urged to accelerate the remaining works, including sewer connectivity and installation of floodlights.
‎
‎The drainage infrastructure is already bringing relief to Migosi residents by reducing flooding, improving accessibility during rainy seasons, protecting homes and businesses, and enhancing public health. The community was however cautioned against discharging sewer waste into drainage channels, a practice that can block waterways, cause flooding, damage infrastructure, and create serious health risks.
‎
‎Manyatta A roads are nearing completion, with only drainage and walkway cabro works remaining, while in Manyatta B, over 250 households are expected to benefit from last-mile water and sewer connectivity. The contractor was further directed to rectify defects on the Kaombe-Kasawino Road and expedite pending works.
‎
‎The team called upon residents to safeguard completed infrastructure, citing encroachment of roads and drainage corridors in Kibuye as a growing concern. CPCT Coordinator Mr. Patrick Ogunde pledged enhanced public sensitization and enforcement measures to ensure the projects remain protected and beneficial to the community.
‎
‎The message from the inspection was clear: quality, timely completion, and community ownership are key to realizing the full benefits of the KISIP investments across Kisumu.

‎258 YOUTH IN KISUMU GRADUATE AS KISIP2 AND NYOTA INVEST IN SKILLS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND A BETTER FUTURE FOR INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS
‎
‎A new chapter of hope, empowerment, and opportunity was written today as 258 young people from Kisumu's informal settlements graduated during a colorful certificate award ceremony organized under the Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP2) in partnership with Nyota.
‎
‎The graduates, comprising 114 young women and 144 young men, from Bandani, Migosi, Nyawita, Kibuye, Manyataa A and B, and Muhoroni, successfully completed intensive training designed to equip them with life skills, employability competencies, entrepreneurship knowledge, and financial literacy to enable them become productive members of society and drivers of change within their communities.
‎
‎The training targeted youth from informal settlements where KISIP2 is currently being implemented, while the Digital Public Works component focused on beneficiaries from settlements that participated in KISIP Phase I.
‎
‎Throughout the training, participants were equipped with critical social and economic skills under key thematic areas including:
‎
‎✅ Self-Awareness
‎✅ Self-Management
‎✅ Relationship Skills
‎✅ Responsible Decision-Making
‎✅ Communication Skills
‎✅ Entrepreneurship
‎✅ Financial Management
‎✅ Health and Social Emotional Learning
‎✅ Business Start-Up and Business Operations
‎
‎The initiative reflects KISIP2's broader vision of improving living conditions in informal settlements through a dual approach of investing in both physical infrastructure and human capital development.
‎
‎Speaking during the ceremony, the trainees were encouraged to form and strengthen self-help groups to enhance networking, access opportunities, and build sustainable community enterprises capable of transforming their lives and neighborhoods.
‎
‎In a message delivered on his behalf, National KISIP Coordinator Mr. George Arwa congratulated the graduates for successfully completing the programme and assured them that more opportunities, trainings, and empowerment initiatives are in the pipeline to benefit youth living in informal settlements across the country.
‎
‎The trainees also received encouraging news regarding further education opportunities. The Kisumu County Government, through the Office of the Deputy Governor, reaffirmed an earlier commitment to support interested graduates through fee waiver opportunities for enrollment in County Vocational Training Centres (VTCs), enabling them to advance their education and acquire additional technical skills.
‎
‎Representing the County Project Coordination Team, KISIP Kisumu County Coordinator Mr. Patrick Ogunde through a representative, congratulated the graduates for their dedication and resilience throughout the training period. He challenged them to effectively utilize the knowledge and skills acquired to improve their livelihoods, create employment opportunities, and positively influence their communities.
‎
‎Mr. Ogunde further assured the graduates that they would receive priority consideration whenever relevant opportunities for engagement, employment, or programme absorption arise in future KISIP-related interventions.
‎
‎The ceremony also celebrated the success of the Digital Public Works Programme implemented in Obunga and Kaloleni settlements, where 200 participating youth gained hands-on experience in data collection, digital mapping, geospatial technologies, and digital multitasking while benefiting from short-term employment opportunities. These practical skills are expected to significantly enhance their competitiveness in the evolving digital economy.
‎
‎Special recognition was accorded to the trainers whose dedication, professionalism, and mentorship contributed immensely to the success of the programme. In appreciation of their outstanding service, the trainers were awarded letters of recommendation in recognition of their commitment to empowering youth and building community capacity.
‎
‎As the graduates received their certificates amidst celebration and applause from family members, trainers, project officials, and stakeholders, the event served as a powerful reminder that sustainable urban development goes beyond roads, drainage systems, markets, and street lighting, it also requires investing in people.
‎
‎Through the continued partnership between KISIP2, Nyota, the National Government, and the County Government of Kisumu, hundreds of young people are now better equipped with the confidence, knowledge, and skills needed to build brighter futures for themselves and contribute meaningfully to the transformation of their communities.

OUR ROADS, OUR RESPONSIBILITY: LET'S PROTECT KIBUYE'S NEW FACE OF TRANSFORMATION!

Kibuye Informal Settlement continues to witness remarkable transformation under KISIP II with the successful completion of the Thep-Thep–Kibuye–SDA Highway Road and the Highway Primary–Mama Ngina Road, including modern drainage systems and pedestrian walkways.

These projects have greatly improved accessibility, enhanced safety, and created a cleaner and more organized environment for residents and businesses. However, the long-term benefits of these investments depend on how well we take care of them.

Unfortunately, cases of littering in drainage channels and heavy trucks damaging cabro-paved walkways have already been reported, putting the newly completed infrastructure at risk.

KISIP Coordinator Patrick Ogunde has called upon residents, traders, and all road users to take collective responsibility in safeguarding these public investments by keeping drainage systems clean, avoiding misuse of walkways, and promoting a culture of ownership and maintenance.

Together, let us protect what has been built for us and ensure that future generations continue to enjoy the benefits of these transformative projects.

𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐈 𝐊𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐏2 𝐑𝐎𝐀𝐃 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐏𝐔𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐎𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍.

The ongoing Pundo-NITA Road construction under KISIP2, aimed at connecting Bandani Informal Settlement to the CBD, continues to register important milestones despite the slow pace of work that has left the County Government, consultant and the community concerned.

CPCT coordinator Mr. Patrick Ogunde urged the contractor to expedite the works and ensure the project reaches the blacktop stage within the agreed timelines, while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

The contractor attributed the delay to the long rains that have affected the speed of construction but will mobilize properly once the rains are gone. He equally assured the community that all damaged sections of the Pamjos-Kanyamedha road will be reconstructed afresh before the final handover.

The Consultant, CPCT and community leadership remain firm that the final product must be durable, quality-driven and fully acceptable to the people it is meant to serve.

KISUMU STEPS UP KISIP II IMPLEMENTATION AS COUNTY LEADERSHIP HOSTS HIGH-LEVEL MISSION

Kisumu County today reaffirmed its commitment to transforming informal settlements under the Second Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP II), as a high-level implementation support mission comprised of representatives of The World Bank and Agence Française de Development (AFD)conducted site visits across key beneficiary areas.

Led by Deputy Governor Dr. Mathew Owili, the Chief Officer for Lands, Physical Planning, Housing and Urban Development (LPPHUD), the National Project Coordination Team (NPCT), County Project Coordination Team (CPCT), project consultants, contractors, and Settlement Executive Committees (SECs) from the targeted settlements, visit saturated in Muhoroni, where the team engaged beneficiaries of the ongoing Socio-Economic Training Skills Programme under the Nyota initiative. The programme, which targets youth in KISIP II settlements, received strong commendation for equipping participants with practical business skills. Trainees expressed optimism about the long-term impact of the programme, while appealing for consideration in the next phase of Nyota funds disbursement to enable them to translate acquired skills into sustainable enterprises.

In response, Dr. Owili lauded the youth for their commitment and encouraged them to further enhance their competencies by enrolling in county-run Vocational Training Centres. He assured them of fee waivers as part of the county’s broader effort to empower young people economically.

The delegation then proceeded to Shauri Yako, where two key road projects are currently under construction, before moving to Bondeni to inspect ongoing drainage works aimed at improving sanitation and flood management.

Within Kisumu City, the team visited Nyawita settlement, where a long-standing Project Affected Person (PAP) case has been successfully resolved. The beneficiary expressed appreciation for the humane and structured approach taken in relocating her structures that had encroached on the Koyoo–Koyuga road wayleave.

Further inspections were conducted in Manyatta, specifically along Koyango Road, where drainage works are ongoing to address perennial flooding challenges.

While noting the overall progress, the leadership expressed concern over delays in certain components of the project. The contractor handling Lot 2 was urged to expedite works, particularly the stalled high mast floodlight installations. Similarly, the Lot 1 contractor was challenged to accelerate completion within the extended contract timeline, committing to finalize the works within the next two months.

The mission underscored the County Government’s resolve, in collaboration with development partners, to ensure timely delivery of infrastructure and socio-economic programmes that uplift the living standards of residents in informal settlements.

Kisumu continues to position itself as a model for inclusive urban development, with KISIP II playing a central role in driving sustainable transformation across its communities.

DRAINAGE THAT DELIVERS: KISIP WORKS TRANSFORMING SETTLEMENTS.

The KISIP team, comprising NPCT, CPCT, consultants, SEC representatives, and contractors, conducted a comprehensive site visit across Lot 1 contract works in Bandani, Nyawita, Migosi, Manyatta A & B, and Lot 2 : contract works in Kibuye, and Muhoroni to assess progress, address challenges, and engage communities.

A key highlight across Bandani, Migosi, Kibuye, and Muhoroni (Bondeni) is the impact of ongoing drainage works, especially during this rainy season. The results are already visible, with significant reduction in flooding, safeguarding homes, businesses, and critically, protecting roads from damage and costly defects. Proper drainage remains the backbone of durable infrastructure.

In Migosi, alongside MCA Hon. Pamela, the team noted the positive impact of completed drainage sections in controlling floods, while urging the contractor to expedite the remaining 3KM of drainage works to further strengthen resilience.

In Bandani, community members raised concerns over the pace of works. In response, the contractor reaffirmed commitment to deliver, particularly the Pundo–NITA Road, a vital link set to unlock the settlement and enhance connectivity to the CBD. CPCT Coordinator Mr. Patrick Ogunde emphasized the need for speed, quality, and full delivery within the project timelines.

However, concerns were raised in Kibuye, where encroachment and improper waste disposal are clogging drainage systems, undermining their effectiveness. Traders were urged to avoid erecting structures on drainage lines and walkways, which are essential for safe pedestrian movement and proper water flow.

Encouragingly, floodlight poles have been installed in Migosi and Manyatta A, with connection to power underway. Once operational in the next two weeks, these lights will play a crucial role in enhancing security and improving livelihoods.

As these transformative works continue, residents are called upon to protect and maintain the infrastructure, ensuring long-term benefits for all.

‎KISIP 2 KISUMU: STEADY PROGRESS ACROSS SETTLEMENTS AS COMPLETION NEARS.
‎
‎The Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP 2) Kisumu team continues to intensify monthly site visits to assess progress and address emerging concerns across project areas.
‎
‎The CPCT team led by the Coordinator Patrick Ogunde, alongside engineers from Batch and Rhines Joint Venture (the supervising consultants), contractors for Lot 1 and Lot 2, and representatives of the Settlement Executive Committees (SEC), toured key project sites in Bandani, Migosi, Kibuye and Muhoroni.
‎
‎At Bandani, works along the vital Pundo–NITA road are progressing well, including construction to safely cover the KPC pipeline and installation of a bridge. This road is a critical link connecting the settlement to the Kisumu CBD, enhancing mobility, access to essential services and unlocking business opportunities.
‎
‎Drainage works and box culverts are also underway to address perennial flooding that has long affected the area during heavy rains.
‎
‎At Auji–Pundo, drainage works are nearly complete, with the road now awaiting GCS and asphalt surfacing. In other settlements like Nyawita, Manyatta A and B, road works are largely complete, with ongoing drainage and walkway installations.
‎
‎While some community members have expressed concern over slow progress in certain areas, others have appreciated the visible transformation. The contractor has assured residents that all outstanding works will be completed by the end of March.
‎
‎In Migosi, drainage and sewer works have stagnated, with local leaders, residents and the project coordinating team piling pressure on the contractor to resume work and deliver. Coordinator Patrick Ogunde and the supervising engineers assured the community that the works remain on course and will be completed as scheduled.
‎
‎Installation of floodlights is also in progress, with the contractor committing to completion by the second week of March, enhancing security and night-time safety.
‎
‎In Kibuye, road, drainage and walkway works are largely complete, pending minor finishing touches. SEC leadership expressed satisfaction with the quality of work, noting improved storm water control and better access to the market.
‎
‎However, traders were urged to refrain from placing goods on newly completed sections, as this undermines the intended purpose and durability of the infrastructure. The Project Coordinating Team called on the community to safeguard the investment and ensure it serves its long-term purpose.
‎
‎In Muhoroni, drainage works are ongoing and have been widely appreciated by residents. Water reticulation works are progressing well, with last-mile household connections expected in the first week of March.
‎
‎Road works are also advancing steadily and have been positively received by the community, marking a significant step toward improved accessibility and service delivery.
‎
‎KISIP 2 Kisumu remains committed to delivering quality, climate-resilient infrastructure that enhances mobility, supports local businesses, controls flooding and improves the quality of life for residents across informal settlements.
‎
‎Together with the community, we are building safer, more accessible and more resilient neighborhoods.
