The Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC), a specialized institution of the East African Community (EAC), has completed the construction of its new ultra-modern headquarters in Kisumu, signalling a major milestone in regional integration and sustainable development for the Lake Victoria Basin.
With final touches now underway, the Sh458.9 million state-of-the-art facility is set to be officially handed over to the LVBC Secretariat on May 31, 2025, paving the way for relocation later this year.

EAC Cabinet Secretary (CS) Beatrice Askul, who led a delegation of EAC ministers on an inspection tour of the building, expressed satisfaction with the works. "We commend the contractor for delivering on this ambitious project.
