The African Development Bank (AfDB) has withdrawn its support from the renewable energy project in Nairobi’s Kibera area, citing procurement delays as the primary reason. This development could impact the project’s progress, as the AfDB’s involvement was crucial for funding and technical support. The delays in procurement processes likely hindered timely implementation, leading to this decision. This withdrawal highlights the challenges that can arise in large-scale infrastructure projects, especially those in complex urban settings like Kibera, which is one of Africa’s largest informal settlements. The future of the project will now depend on alternative funding sources and streamlined procurement processes.
