Abstract

This research quantified the poverty penalty, provided evidence on gendered burdens, insecure land tenure, and inadequate provision of basic services in Mukuru settlement. By the end of this project five sectoral plans covering education; health, water sanitation and energy; land, housing and infrastructure were developed by eight consortia. These draft plans are awaiting presentation to the residents for validation and eventual adoption by the County Assembly (2020). The declaration of Mukuru as a Special Planning Area provided an opportunity for both the residents of Mukuru and the City County of Nairobi to develop inclusive plans to address unique development challenges.
