Athi Water Works Development Agency (AWWDA) today convened a stakeholder community engagement session at California Social Hall in Eastleigh with community leaders and key stakeholders to discuss the ongoing expansion of water services and the impact the project will have on residents and businesses in Eastleigh and Kamukunji areas.

The meeting brought together representatives from the Nairobi Deputy County Commissioner’s office, California Ward leadership, representatives from Eastleigh North and Kamukunji leadership, local administration, village and religious leaders, supervising contractors and project teams.

The engagement created an opportunity for stakeholders to ask questions on implementation approaches and understand how project activities may affect communities during the construction phase. The discussions also highlighted the long term value of the project and the role of continued collaboration in successful implementation.

The project will involve replacing approximately 77kilometerss of existing water pipelines, reinstating 2,192 consumer connection, and introducing 326 new consumer connections across Nairobi CBD, Central Industrial Area, Eastleigh, Ngara and Jogoo Road areas.

Community engagement remains central to project delivery and more engagements will continue to strengthen collaboration, keep stakeholders informed and ensure communities are actively involved throughout implementation.

Today, Athi Water Works Development Agency (AWWDA) joined the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation, led by the Principal Secretary, State Department for Water and Sanitation, Mr. Julius Korir, CBS, during the wrap-up meeting for the Implementation Support Mission for the Kenya Towns Sustainable Water Supply and Sanitation Program (KTSWSSP) and Nairobi Rivers Basin Rehabilitation Program: Sewerage Improvement Project – Phase II (NaRSIP II), implemented in partnership with the Government of Kenya and the African Development Bank (AfDB).

The meeting reviewed overall implementation progress and reaffirmed the strategic importance of NaRSIP II in strengthening Nairobi’s sewerage infrastructure and restoring the Nairobi Rivers Basin ecosystem. The project continues to play a critical role in reducing pollution across key rivers including the Nairobi River, Ngong, Mathare, Kiu, Riara, and Gatharaini, through expanded sewerage coverage and improved wastewater management systems.

NaRSIP II targets to increase sewerage coverage in Nairobi from 48% to 60%, serve over 400,000 residents, and enhance treatment capacity to 80 million litres per day of wastewater—thereby contributing significantly to improved public health, environmental conservation, and sustainable urban development.

The meeting noted that overall implementation progress has reached 95.6%, up from 93.2% recorded in September 2025, reflecting steady momentum towards project completion.

In addition, stakeholders also reviewed progress under the KTSWSSP, which is now 90% complete, with 32 projects already commissioned, further strengthening access to clean water and improved sanitation services across the country.
