Adoption of PPP model for large water reservoirs

The Kenya Kwanza government promised to adopt a PPP model for viable large water reservoirs

As at May 2026, the PPP Directorate has listed two dam projects, that is, the Londiani Dam and Ndarugu 2 Dam water projects, both of which are in the feasibility stage. The State Department for Irrigation is also developing eight (8) PPP dam projects geared mostly towards promoting irrigation.
However, the government has openly admitted to not completing any major dams in 2025 due to financial difficulties and a low uptake from private investors, who are deterred by the low returns in the water sector.
