The Kenyan government has set aside Ksh.1 trillion to ensure that all Kenyans have access to clean and safe water by the year 2030. This ambitious plan is part of the government’s commitment to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6, which focuses on ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
The funds will be used for various projects, including the development of water infrastructure such as dams, boreholes, and water pipelines, as well as the rehabilitation of existing water systems. Additionally, there will be a focus on improving water harvesting and storage capacity, promoting the use of modern irrigation methods, and addressing issues of water pollution and waste management.
The project aims to address the water scarcity challenges that have affected many regions in the country, especially in arid and semi-arid areas, and to ensure that both urban and rural populations have reliable access to water.
