Ex-post evaluation of the project Extension of the drinking water supply system in Nairobi (CKE1074)
Published on
The project, financed by AFD and implemented by Athi Water Works Development Agency (AWWDA), is part of a wider project to improve Nairobi's drinking water supply, in line with the city's drinking water master plans. This program was therefore complementary to other actions led by AFD or other donors. The expectations for this evaluation are high, given that this project was one of the major infrastructure projects in Kenya over the past 20 years, which should significantly impact on Nairobi's water supply and mark a key achievement in the country's water and sanitation sector.
Overall, this highly ambitious project was a success. Despite a 4-year delay in program implementation, the objectives were achieved and the relationship between AWWDA and AFD remained healthy and productive throughout.
The years of delay are linked to the many twists and turns and difficulties encountered, starting with the difficulties linked to land acquisition mechanisms, then to the rise in the price of materials due to the worldwide Covid crises in Ukraine, or to the transfer of competence linked to the introduction of the Bulk Water Act.
