A total of 1,664 residents from 11 colonial villages in Kirinyaga County are set to benefit from land ownership documents under the Second Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP 2).
This breakthrough marks a critical step towards resolving long-standing land tenure challenges in the county.
KISIP 2 is a collaborative initiative jointly funded by the World Bank's International Development Association (IDA), Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the European Union (EU), and the Government of Kenya.
The programme aims to improve access to basic services, enhance land tenure security in urban informal settlements, and strengthen the institutional capacity for slum upgrading across Kenya.
