Executive Summary
Introduction
The Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development has secured assistance from the World Bank for the implementation of a Nairobi Metropolitan Services Improvement Project (NaMSIP). The proposed project is aimed at addressing some of the challenges faced by the metropolitan region including inadequate solid waste collection and environmental hazardous dumping, inadequate municipal services, such as storm water management, water supply and sanitation services, disaster management, street lighting, etc., severe public transport problems and the need for metropolitan wide coordination and planning strategies.
NaMSIP Components
According to the Terms of Reference, Nairobi Metropolitan Services Improvement Project has been structured into five components with distinct areas of coverage as outlines below;
Component 1: Institutional Reform and Planning This component will assist local governments and whatever successor institutions are brought into being through the new constitution in among other focal areas urban planning, financial management, including revenue enhancement, accountability citizens, through measures such as a participatory budget planning process, a transparent automated construction-permit system, and other measures, improving service delivery, developing land use plans to promote development in the vicinity of new commuter rail stations. Creation and operation of ring-fenced solid waste collection companies in local authorities is also considered which would dispose the waste into regional landfills.
The component will also support the evolution and build the capacity of metropolitan governance agencies including the Nairobi Metropolitan Spatial Planning Authority, the Metropolitan Water and Wastewater Authority and solid waste companies through the formation of three key institutions, namely Nairobi Metropolitan Spatial Planning Authority, Nairobi Metropolitan Water and Wastewater Authority and Nairobi Metropolitan Solid Waste Companies.
Component 2: Critical Local Government Infrastructure and Services Designed to support local authorities in critical infrastructure and improve service delivery in urban areas and urban growth. The component will be implemented directly by Local authorities. Among the project features will include street lighting, traffic management, markets development, public infrastructure around commuter rail stations, improving roads under Local Authorities’ mandate, provision of cycle tracks and foot paths development and training of Local authority staff.
Component 3: Critical Metro Infrastructure and Services To assist in the provision of solid wastes, transport and sewerage services for the areas within the Nairobi Metropolitan Area. For purposes of appreciation of the areas of intervention, the Component has been split into three sub-components namely Solid Waste Management, Transport and Sewerage Services and described as follows;
Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development Page 10 of 115 Consultant: Harrison W. Ngirigacha Aquaclean Services Limited
Draft Environmental and Social Management Framework Nairobi Metropolitan Services Improvement Project
Sub-Component 3A: Solid Waste Management (i) Development of Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) for the entire metropolitan (ii) Development of sanitary solid wastes disposal sites for metropolitan towns (iii) Gradual decommissioning unsanitary solid waste disposal sites (iv) Provision of sanitary solid wastes transfer stations (v) Formation of sanitary landfill management companies (vi) Improvement of the welfare and conditions for solid waste pickers and handlers
Sub-Component 3B: Transport (i) Upgrading and construction of infrastructure feeding to commuter rail stations (ii) Linking of satellite towns for pedestrians, cyclists and buses (NMT and BRT systems) (iii) Improving routing and efficiency of mass transit system (iv) Rehabilitation of strategic road links with Local Authorities
Sub-Component 3C: Water and Wastewater (i) Development of wastewater collection system (ii) Treatment systems (stabilization lagoons) (iii) Disposal systems/drainage channels
Component 4: Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation Like Component1, this component is administrative in nature in addition to seeking for funding and resources support for the project. It will, therefore, also cater for the resources and implementation capacity of the ESMF. In terms of implementation, the component may require physical provisions such offices and related infrastructure that may require undergoing ESIA process for approval. The ESMF will, therefore focus on this
Identified NaMSIP Sub-Projects
It is already appreciated that NaMSIP Components will comprise a multiplicity of sub- projects to be implemented in different locations across Metropolitan Region. While the respective sub-projects are yet to be formulated, list below has presents potential areas of consideration as intervention projects. However, specific zones of the Metropolitan where the projects could be implemented would be established during the formal screening of sub-projects.
Component Sub-Projects Clusters
Component 1 Selection of physical support location Construction and installation of offices and facilities Institutional Reform and Establish capacity on Environment and social management Development Component 2 Installation of street lighting in pre-identified road junctions Markets development in collaboration with respective County Councils Other Critical Public Development and improvement of drainage systems in selected urban zones Services (commercial and residential areas Development OR rehabilitation of sanitation facilities in collaboration with County Councils, Athi Water Services Board and Water Services Providers Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development Page 11 of 115 Consultant: Harrison W.
