GiZ - Electric Mobility in Kenya: Supporting the electrification of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System in Nairobi Contract related to: GiZ - Electric Mobility in Kenya: Supporting the electrification of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System in Nairobi - This Action¿s overall objective is `to promote greener, more inclusive and resilient urbanisation and rural development in Kenya¿ and comprises of the following three specific objectives to:1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Make urban mobility more environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable and accessible. 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deliver participatory slum upgrading, land services and low-cost green adequate incremental housing solutions replicable at scale by low-income households.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Enhance resilience to drought and other climate change effects of communities in arid and semi-arid lands.To support GoK on the above objectives, the Action proposes the following programmes:The EU-Kenya Green Public Transport Partnership (GPTP) (EU grants of EUR 44 million to EIB and AFD who will lend EUR 220 million in sovereign loans, an EUR 6 million GIZ grant, and EUR 28 million contribution from Government of Kenya)&nbsp;to operationalise Nairobi¿s green public transport. Most importantly, this will provide inclusive and safer commuting and reduce diseconomies of scale caused by traffic congestion. Then it will become Africa¿s first electric bus rapid transit (BRT) line reducing emission and improving ill-health due to pollution.The EU-Kenya-UN Partnership Implementing the New Urban Agenda (PINUA) (an EUR 8 million[1] EU grant to UN Habitat, leading to parallel financing of EUR 120 million loan from EIB, EUR 9.5 million loans from the Kenya Women¿s Bank (KWFT) and EUR 8 million from GoK). The aim is to implement participatory slum upgrading and to stimulate the provision at scale of land and other services for low-cost green adequate incremental housing. PINUA will draw on successful land-based financing; incremental housing; community co-production; and blended financing for households that prevents over indebtedness, among others. Manufacturing locally-sourced appropriate or recycled materials will favour the local and circular economy and jobs targeting people with disabilities, women and youth.EU support to the Second Kenya Informal Settlements Improvement Programme (KISIP-2) (an EUR 5 million EU grant to AFD for technical assistance, leading to a EUR 45 million loan and a EUR 750 000 grant from AFD, and EUR 135 million loan from World Bank) to replicate KISIP phase 1. KISIP 2 aims to improve access to basic services and tenure security of residents in urban informal settlements and strengthen institutional capacity for slum upgrading in Kenya. It will also improve livelihoods through socio-economic inclusion of informal settlement residents through implementing&nbsp;community development plans.The EU-Kenya programme on Dryland Climate Action for Community Drought Resilience (DCADR) (an EUR 13 million EU grant to National Drought Management Authority leading to a EUR 5 million GoK contribution), to support communities and ecosystems to become more resilient and experience improved food security in drought-prone arid and semi-arid lands.[1] Another EUR 10 million EU grant may be committed for PINUA phase 2 under AAP-2024 subject to success of this first phase.
