This component will support implementation at the national level by directly financing activities that contribute towards the delivery of the Program outcomes through:
(i) Program management
(ii) Policy and regulation development and
(iii) Technical and capacity development support to counties and urban institutions.
Identified activities represent a natural step from what was developed under KUSP to continue enhancing the capacity of urban institutions.
The component will incentivize counties and urban institutions to undertake interventions that contribute to achieving the Program outcomes through performance grants accessed based on compliance with Minimum Conditions (MCs) and the extent to which they are able to achieve Performance Standards (PSs). It will finance urban infrastructure and services; institutional and capacity development.
The WHR Urban Institutional development and investments will establish and strengthen urban institutions and improve access to infrastructure services in refugee hosting areas, through performance grants accessed based on compliance with WHR MCs and PSs. SDHUD will work closely with the Department of Refugee Services (DRS) and County administration to incentivize the establishment of two municipalities, namely Kakuma-Kalobeyei and Dadaab, with charters granted, municipal board and administration appointed, and clarity provided on issues of management and accountability. Support to the refugee hosting counties will include an Urban Institutional Grant (WHR UIG) and an Urban Development Grant (WHR UDG) in accordance with the overall design of KUSP II. The definition of the MCs and PSs is unique to the refugee window, due to their specific situation and both grants will be disbursed based on the APA process as part of the overall Program APA.
Strengthening the capacity of urban institutions to deliver resilient infrastructure and inclusive services, fostering sustainable urban development across Kenya.
