Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Implementation Status and Key Decisions The State Department of Housing, and Urban Development is strongly anchoring KUSP as the main vehicle for supporting integrated urban development and the delivery of affordable housing in county governments. The National Program Coordination Team (NPCT) in the Urban Development Department (UDD) and the Council of Governors (COG) are actively raising awareness and disseminating information about KUSP through workshops attended by various stakeholders at both national and county government level. Across the country, counties have established municipal boards and municipalities for the eligible municipalities. Counties are implementing key urban investments in these municipalities. Such investments include: improved urban roads, storm-water drains, managing solid waste, street lighting, among others. Counties are beginning to delegate specific functions to municipalities to undertake. The program is on track to meet its objective of establishing and strengthening urban institutions to deliver improved urban investments. Despite this progress, the program is facing some financial management, social and environment management challenges that the NPCT and counties are working to address to support program implementation.
