Project Overview
As part of a strategic initiative to future-proof Kenya's primary urban centers, we led a comprehensive analysis of the shifting dynamics in water and sanitation demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our approach focused on bridging the gap between surging service requirements and existing supply infrastructure in Nairobi and Mombasa, identifying the systemic vulnerabilities exposed by the global health crisis. The study moved beyond immediate crisis management to propose a long-term vision for urban resilience. By synthesising secondary data and engaging intensively with stakeholders, we established critical correlations between the urban environment and public health outcomes. This work directly informed the development of 'good practice' protocols designed to govern urban service delivery in a post-pandemic era.
Key Pillars
Integrated Infrastructure Mapping
Establishing technical links between urban transport networks, sanitation facilities, and solid waste management systems to mitigate future infection risks.
Strategic Policy Formulation
Defining the evolution of urban development administration to ensure cities can proactively respond to large-scale health and environmental shocks.
Investment-Ready Project Pipelines
Formulating a portfolio of resilient infrastructural projects tailored to build long-term capacity and enhance the dignity of service provision across all urban demographics.
Global Partnership Alignment
Developing a strategic framework for JICA's future assistance, ensuring that international development projects are anchored in the realities of the new normal.
Project Outcome
The final output provides a robust roadmap for the regeneration of urban utilities, ensuring that the infrastructure of Nairobi and Mombasa is not only efficient but also serves as a primary defense against future public health challenges.
