Kenya is set to receive a grant of $15Mn (Ksh 1.51 Bn) from Demark for a water and sanitation project in 8 counties through the Green Growth Employment Programme. The 8 counties that are set to benefit include Isiolo, Marsabit, Garrissa, Wajir, Mandera, Lamu, Tana River and Turkana.
C.S for water and irrigation Simon Chelgui says that each county will receive $700,000 (Ksh 70.5Mn) for the projects and the funds will be channeled through the Water Services Trust Fund (WSTF).
The project will support water resources management initiatives and other activities. WSTF has since undertaken several engagements and conducted a call for proposals to identify potential applicants for the grant which is expected to benefit both host and refugee communities.
The Denmark-Kenya Green Growth and Employment Thematic Programme objective is “Inclusive greener growth with higher employment” and will be achieved by focusing support on two intervention areas: sustainable growth and jobs from investment and trade and sustainable use of natural resources and community resilience.
