World Bank has issued a 13 billion-shilling ($155 million) loan to Kenya in order to support the development of water infrastructure, including water storage, irrigation and water management initiatives in the country.
With Kenya being considered as a water scarce nation having over 80 percent of it’s land arid or semi-arid, World Bank Country Director Diarel tou Gaye said the funds will help the government in its plans to manage water resources, and develop a pipeline of water investments that will help improve the country’s water security as well as climate resiliency.
