Some 26 Nairobi slums are set to be redeveloped into decent low-cost housing with better security and sanitation.
Acting County Secretary Leboo Morintat said the redevelopment would be a public-private partnership.
“The programme will improve living standards through better planning, housing tenure, better infrastructure, amenities, and business opportunities,” Mr Morintat said.
Prospective partners have up to April 5 to apply.
The slums to be upgraded include Kibera, Jua Kali, Mahira, Huruma Ex-Grogon, Kahonoki, Kiamutisya, Baba Dogo Kasabuni, Baba Dogo Kariadudu, Gathecha Lucky Summer, Glucola Lucky Summer, Korogocho, Ngunyumu, Muriambogo, and Kabiria.
