Water

The Government of Kenya aims to increase access to clean water and sanitation services in the major urban centres, their suburbs and rural areas. The National Water Master Plan 2030 recognizes water as an enabler in the socio economic development of the country and estimates that $14 billion in investment in water supply and $5.4 billion in investment in urban sewerage infrastructure are needed over the next 15 years.

The Kenyan water sector is heavily donor dependent with approximately 70% of funding coming from donor partners  
County governments have assumed responsibility for water service delivery as a result of the devolution process


There are 3 customer segments that have been identified as potential customers for Danish solutions and products:
Public sector (Water service boards)
Public/private sector (Industrial parks/developers) 
Private (EPZ/SPZ and private companies)

The solutions should seek to address water distribution/last mile delivery via leakage reduction and detection solutions, new infrastructure/piping projects and  cost recovery of non-revenue water via smart metering, automation of water monitoring and general improvement of data collection


Strong competition from other contractors and suppliers on price vs. quality 
Limited number of big public projects i.e. tenders 
Infrastructure limitations which may hamper certain technologies being implemented 
Bureaucracy especially with Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) certifying products to be used in the country 


Business development to match possible solutions to challenges in the country
Access to market opportunities 
Identification of upcoming projects and tender opportunities
Access the relevant authorities, utilities companies and other key stakeholders
