    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 milestone 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 program 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. It operates under the vision of “Promoting Dignified Living” by addressing systemic issues such as insecure land tenure, poor infrastructure, and limited socio-economic opportunities.
