Kenya has presented 13 priority infrastructure projects to international investors at the Global Infrastructure Cooperation Conference (GICC) in Seoul, South Korea, as the government seeks to attract long-term financing for strategic developments.
The Director General of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Directorate, Kefa Seda, said the projects had been identified for active market engagement during the 2026/27 financial year.
The investment portfolio covers transport, energy, water, irrigation, information and communication technology, and other strategic sectors.
Among the projects are the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway and the Mau Summit-Eldoret-Malaba Road, both of which the government has been seeking international investment to develop.
The portfolio also includes the expansion of the Konza cloud infrastructure and the proposed 160-acre Digital Media City, a creative and technology hub being developed with South Korean support.
Other projects are the Kibuka Falls Hydropower and Irrigation Dam, whose development is being revived under a new PPP arrangement, and the proposed 1,200-megawatt Dongo Kundu Power Plant, which is expected to operate on imported liquefied natural gas.
Kenya has also listed electricity transmission infrastructure, irrigation dams, the proposed Kenya Commercial Spaceport, and selected Kenya Ports Authority assets among the investment opportunities.
Seda said the government was seeking wider investor participation and long-term financing to prepare the projects for implementation.
He added that the National Infrastructure Fund would complement the PPP framework by mobilising domestic capital from pension funds, insurance companies and collective investment schemes.
