    THIKA HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The Social/Community Component of the Analysis of the Thika Highway Improvement Project May 2012 Source: http://www.kenyacarbazaar.com/blog/firms-cut-off-thika-road-face-relocation/ 1 Executive Summary Transforming the road from Nairobi to Thika town into a super highway is one of Kenya’s first large-scale transportation infrastructure projects and is drawing mixed reactions. Funded by loans from the African Development Bank and the Chinese government, the project began in 2009 and was expected to be completed in July 2011. The perceptions and reactions of citizens who are seeing their lives transformed by the highway have not been part of most discussions about the highway, and little independent research has taken place on the impacts of the highway especially for non-motorists. The Kenya Alliance of Resident Associations (Kara) and the Center for Sustainable Urban Development (CSUD) at the Earth Institute at Columbia University have come together to examine emerging issues around the Thika Highway Improvement Project (THIP). Kara held a series of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) for residents and users of the highway, along with a stakeholder meeting and public forum. The FGDs, stakeholder meeting, and public forum provided a platform for the public to give their views on the project planning and implementation, the socio-economic impact on their lives and livelihoods, their involvement or otherwise in the project, and issues of local planning and land use in relation to the project as well as any other concerns. In addition, there was the opportunity for dialogue with the officials implementing the project.
