Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES-Kenya), the Civil Society Urban Development Platform (CSUDP), and the Civil Justice Alliance (PACJA) have launched a pilot project in Nakuru County aimed at enhancing civil society engagement for sustainable urbanisation.
The three-year project aims to improve the capacity of civil society organisations to promote sustainable water and waste management in order to create a just and livable city.
The initiative involves mapping actors in waste and water management value chains and training research assistants to use digital tools for comprehensive data collection.
FES Kenya advocates for a social democratic approach, promoting the concept of “just cities” that fosters inclusivity and social equity.
The project collaborates with various stakeholders, including civil society organisations, trade unions, national government representatives, the private sector, the media, and academia, to create a more socially equitable urban development in Kenya.
