KISIP II

Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Project (KISIP) is a Government project that was started in 2011 to improve the living conditions in informal settlements in 15 urban centers in Kenya and provide security of tenure to residents of those settlements. The project was instituted under the Ministry of Land, Housing, and Urban Development in the Slum Upgrading department.

The project development objective is to improve living conditions and strengthen security of tenure in informal settlements in selected towns in Kenya. This is achieved by improving security of tenure and investing in infrastructure based on plans developed in consultation with the community. In addition to supporting improvements in existing informal settlements, KISIP has also supported the Ministries responsible for Housing and Lands and the counties within which the selected towns’ fall, in planning to help them anticipate and manage future demand for housing and environmentally healthy neighbourhoods as cities expand.
