  • Cash Transfer to Schools Nairobi County Informal Settlements Market Assessment
    2015 Cash Transfer to Schools Nairobi County Informal Settlements Market Assessment Executive Summary In collaboration with the Government of Kenya - and in particular the County Government of Nairobi - WFP is exploring to introduce a cash-based, locally procured school feeding model in the informal settlements of Nairobi by September 2015, in the 94 primary schools in seven different informal settlements of the city currently being supported by WFP. This model will empower local stakeholders, boost the local economy, and potentially translate into cost savings. Cash will be disbursed into school accounts and each individual school will procure the school meals basket each term in the nearby markets, with a preliminary start date for implementation being September 2015. While plenty of secondary information exists on food prices and supply chain dynamics in Nairobi, this data is limited to the large market hubs. Prior to this assessment there was limited information on prices or supply chain structures for the informal settlements markets. Objectives of the Assessment The overall objective was to establish the capacity of Nairobi informal settlements markets to supply the food basket of the Nairobi County school meals programme throughout the school year. The aim was to provide a comparative gauge of the feasibility and risks associated to the implementation of cash-based interventions to schools. This was be done by analyzing: How food is being made available in Nairobi County, how markets are structured, and which actors contribute to their functioning; To what extent the different types of markets and traders are able to respond to the increase in demand that can be expected from a transition towards a cash-based interventions.

  • Powering Small Business: Understanding the Impact of Solar Energy Under Different Pricing Schemes
    Working paper Powering Small Business Understanding the Impact of Solar Energy Under Diferent Pricing Schemes William Jack Tavneet Suri March 2013 Powering Small Businesses Final Report March 2013 Final Project Report for Powering Small Business: Understanding the Impact of Solar Energy Under Different Pricing Schemes William Jack and Tavneet Suri I. Introduction This report details the progress on the project “Powering Small Business: Understanding the Impact of Solar Energy Under Different Pricing Schemes” set up in Kenya in 2013. 587 million people (69.5% of the population) lack access to electricity in Sub-Saharan Africa. Retailers with poor access to electricity have limited means to keep their shops open at night. This limits their ability to operate during evening hours and reach customers who might be at work during the day. Solutions like kerosene do a poor job of lighting the room and have negative health effects. Besides, traditional off-grid solutions require significant one time investments, making them unrealistic for poorer consumers. This project studies the pricing schemes for a new solar technology that combines solar power, mobile repayment, and mobile enforcement. We are partnering with Angaza Design who will roll out 1000 units of their Solite-3 – a solar-powered device that provides light and charges phones. The devices allow payment via mobile money and monitoring of payments with enforcement upon non-payment. This enables Angaza to ask retailers for a very low and affordable down payment and allows them to gradually pay back the full amount of the device over time, based on use and at no transaction cost (PAYG using M-PESA, the current mobile money system in Kenya).

Box 30656-00100, Nairobi, Kenya Tel: +254 0703 080 000 Email: [email protected] www.nairobiwater.co.ke PRESS RELEASE Monday, May 26, 2020 News Editor, STATUS OF WATER IN NAIROBI CITY COUNTY On the night of Thursday, May 8 ,2020, a massive landslide occurred at Kieni Forest within the Aberdare Forest. This landslide damaged 600m of the main pipeline that supplies water from Sasumua dam to Nairobi. Due to the damage of the Sasumua water supply system, the areas/ estates to experience water supply shortage include: Areas along Waiyaki Way, Naivasha road, Kangemi, Lavington, Westlands, Parklands, M.P.Shah Hospital, Agha Khan Hospital and ILRI, Upper hill, Kilimani Nairobi Hospital, Kenyatta National Hospital and Community. University of Nairobi main campus hall of residence, Upper and Lower Kabete campus, University of Nairobi and Kenyatta University Parklands law campuses. Estates around Kenyatta market, Kibera, Langata, Jamhuri, Ngando, Riruta/Satelite, Dagoretti Corner, Kawangware, Areas along Langata, Madaraka Estate, Mbagathi and Ngong roads, Karen. Loresho, Nyari, Kitisuru, estate along Peponi Road, New Muthaiga and Thigiri ridge areas The amount of water not reaching Nairobi is 61,000m3 per day (12% of the city supply) hence the above areas will receive water with low pressure during the supply day under the water rationing programme.
