The Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP) Component 2 on Social Economic Inclusion is a significant initiative aimed at improving the living conditions of residents in informal settlements.
The national project representative on the social economic inclusion component, Zenah Kurui, said that in Uasin Gishu County, residents of Kipkaren and Mwanzo informal settlements were the main beneficiaries of the KISIP II programme.
Ms.
Kurui emphasised that the programme will be transformative for Uasin Gishu's marginalised population and will significantly enhance community empowerment, highlighting the importance of involving residents in the decision-making processes to directly identify their challenges and address them through effective solutions. "Under the Social Economic Inclusion component, we are actively involving all residents in decision-making processes to identify the issues affecting them directly and bring solutions through capacity building, training programs, workshops, and the creation of labour-based job opportunities," she expounded.
