KUSP I Program Structure

KUSP I Program Structure

To effectively achieve its objectives, KUSP I was structured into three key funding windows, each addressing different aspects of urban development. This multi-pronged approach ensured that municipalities received the necessary financial and technical support for both governance reforms and infrastructure development, leading to sustainable urbanization across the participating counties.

These funding windows played a crucial role in urban governance enhancement, service delivery improvements, and infrastructure investments, allowing municipalities to become more efficient, self-sustaining, and responsive to urban challenges.

Window 1: National-Level Support

  • Managed by the Urban Development Department (UDD) under the State Department for Housing & Urban Development.

  • Provided policy formulation, technical guidance, and capacity-building to county governments.

  • Supported the development of urban charters, spatial plans, and governance structures.

Window 2: Urban Institutional Grants

  • Provided direct financial support to county governments to establish and strengthen urban institutions.

  • Funded the creation of municipal boards, town planning frameworks, and urban management strategies.

  • Helped counties meet constitutional and regulatory requirements for urban governance.

Window 3: Urban Development Grants

  • Financed large-scale urban infrastructure projects, including:
    - Urban roads and public transport networks.
    -Non-motorized transport (NMT) systems – pedestrian and bicycle pathways.
    - Public markets, street lighting, and waste management facilities.
    - Drainage and sanitation infrastructure to reduce urban flooding.

  • Funding was performance-based, ensuring municipalities met governance and project implementation standards.
