The African Development Fund (ADF) has invested a total of about US$ 27 million to support the improvement of water supply and sanitation services in urban, peri-urban and rural communities, under the Rift Valley Water Services Board’s jurisdiction.The project components include Institutional support of the water and sanitation service provider and Water and Sanitation infrastructure investments.
Nakuru, the country’s fourth largest city is a beneficiary of the coffers given by African Development Bank. According to AfDB, the city suffered unreliable water supply and sanitation services which resulted in scaling down and ultimate relocation of industries, resulting in high incidence of water-borne diseases.
“Nakuru has now increased its water supply from less than 30,000 m3/day to 50,000m3/day, providing 18 hours of water supply, up from less than 6 hours a day thanks to the project.”, reads a statement by AfDB.
The county
The Governor of Nakuru County has also launched a sewer project that is aimed at reducing waste disposal within the county. The project will see to the improvement of hygienic conditions of markets and their surroundings. The county government has set aside Sh25 million to purchase a bulldozer for the county.
