KMDF is a government agency responsible for implementing the Kenya Urban Mobility and Growth Threshold Program. The program aims to address key urban mobility challenges, promote sustainable urban development, and enhance economic connectivity in Kenya's cities, particularly through transport and land-use reforms.

KMDF’s program focuses on four major projects:

• Integrated Transport Planning Project: To create a better multimodal transport system for urban areas.
• First and Last Mile Connections Project: To improve connectivity and provide safer access to mass public transport.
• Land Use Planning Project: To clarify land use and development policies to facilitate non-motorized transport infrastructure.
• Blended Finance for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project: To promote sustainable public transport options and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

KMDF supports sustainable urban mobility by planning and implementing projects that integrate environmentally-friendly transport solutions, such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems, as well as promoting non-motorized transport infrastructure. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions while improving access to transportation for urban populations.

There are various ways you can get involved, whether through collaboration, partnerships, or simply staying informed. KMDF works with government bodies, urban planners, and private sector partners to ensure the successful implementation of its projects. Interested stakeholders can contact KMDF through our official website for partnership or collaboration inquiries.

KMDF does not directly offer funding to individuals or companies for independent transport projects. However, we partner with various organizations, stakeholders, and government entities to facilitate investment in urban mobility initiatives. For more information on partnership opportunities, visit our website or contact us directly.

The Blended Finance for BRT Project is designed to provide the financial support needed for the implementation of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, which will offer a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and efficient public transportation option for Kenya’s urban areas. This project aligns with the government’s commitment to sustainable transport and reducing traffic congestion and air pollution in major cities.

By improving urban connectivity, KMDF’s projects foster better access to markets, services, and employment opportunities. Enhanced transport systems reduce travel time, increase productivity, and promote efficient mobility of goods and people. This leads to a more vibrant and economically competitive urban environment.

Each of KMDF's projects has specific timelines based on their scope and objectives. The Integrated Transport Planning and Land Use Planning Projects are already underway, with the First and Last Mile Connections and Blended Finance for BRT Projects expected to be implemented in phases over the next several years. For up-to-date information on project timelines, please refer to the specific project pages on our website.

How does KMDF ensure the projects are inclusive and beneficial to all communities?

KMDF’s projects aim to significantly improve Nairobi’s transport system by reducing traffic congestion, enhancing public transport options, and creating a more sustainable, green transport network. By fostering integrated, multimodal transportation systems, KMDF will make it easier for people to access economic opportunities, services, and housing.
