The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has announced plans to allocate part of the Ksh27.5 billion earmarked for the construction of the Isiolo-Mandera highway to consultancy services for a trade and transport facilitation study.
In a notice issued on Tuesday, August 26, the Authority revealed it had received a loan from the African Development Bank and intends to use part of the funds to hire a firm to carry out the services.
According to KeNHA, the consultancy will involve assessing traffic and trade flows, collecting baseline data along the route, and proposing recommendations to improve trade facilitation on the Isiolo-Mandera corridor.
Other advertised services include an analysis of non-tariff barriers as well as institutional, policy and regulatory issues affecting the project.
