Uasin Gishu County is set to make significant strides through the Kenya Urban Support Programme 2 (KUSP 2), following the preliminary reports on the minimum condition requirements that, once met, will ensure the county benefits from the program.
During the entry meeting chaired by the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Lands, Physical Planning, Housing, and Urban Development, Dr. Janeth Kosgei, the importance of KUSP 2 in improving urban infrastructure through conditional grants was emphasized. The program offers up to Ksh. 1.5 billion in grants, which is a crucial opportunity for the county’s development.
“This program is of great importance to us, and we look forward to ensuring that we provide the necessary evidence to qualify for maximum grants. We have a capable team appointed to the County Project Implementation Team, and we anticipate great success in KUSP 2,” Dr. Kosgei said.
Lead consultant Mr. John Mungaru noted that the conditions of the program require an assessment of Eldoret City’s current performance in relation to the KUSP 2 requirements. He highlighted that while the city has made considerable progress, some critical areas need immediate attention.




“The documentary evidence reviewed shows that the city has made significant strides, but there are gaps that need to be addressed. By improving documentation and compliance, Eldoret City will meet the minimum requirements for KUSP 2 and continue to benefit from the program’s support in fostering sustainable urban development,” said Mr. Mungaru.
The team noted that the report would be reviewed and further assessed during the two-day evidence-collection process. After successfully validating the findings, Dr. Kosgei will sign the acknowledgement certificate for the performance assessment.
Other attendees included the Chief Officer for Housing and Urban Development, Mr. Julius Koech; City Manager Mr. Tito Koiyet; Programme Coordinator and Planner Mr. Jacktone Kiprop; and the CPCT team.
