Umoja settlement in Mathare, Kajiado County
The Kajiado County pilot under KISRP includes work in the Umoja settlement in Mathare. Activities combine community participation with sound technical analysis so that upgrading options reflect how people live, move, and access services.
Implementation is aligned with Kajiado County institutions and national programme structures, with attention to access routes, shelter conditions, and service gaps identified together with residents.
Meetings, workshops, and joint planning
Indoor sessions support structured discussion among residents, community structures, county representatives, and technical teams. These forums are used to share information, clarify programme phases, and agree on practical next steps.
Workshops with maps, data, and digital tools help translate field observations into plans that can be reviewed transparently and revised as new information emerges.
Field visits and settlement diagnostics
Walk-throughs and on-site reviews complement desk-based planning. Teams examine access, shelter conditions, environmental risks, and service gaps together with residents—building a shared picture of priorities.
Safety vests and visible programme identification support orderly site activities and make it easier for community members to recognise official engagements linked to KISRP.
Partnership and communication
Mathare Umoja work in Kajiado involves collaboration between national agencies, the county, development partners, and local leadership. Clear communication reduces duplication and helps residents understand how to engage constructively.
