ADF to Fund Kenyan Lake Sanitation Programme

The East African Community has signed an agreement with the African Development Fund (ADF) to finance the second phase of the Lake Victoria Water and Sanitation Programme in Kenya.

ADF will provide $108m and five partner states will contribute $13m towards the project.

The funds will be used to make improvements to the sustainable water supply and sanitation infrastructure of 15 secondary towns in the Lake Victoria Basin.

The programme will improve hygiene and environmental sanitation, water supplies, urban drainage, capacity building and project management measures.
