Adoption of PPP model for large water reservoirs

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

• Key progress includes setting a policy foundation through the PPP Act and new water regulations, along with advancing specific projects like the High Grand Falls and Ndarugu 2 dams through the feasibility and procurement stages.
• 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.
