The Kenya Vision 2030 aims to make Kenya a globally competitive and prosperous nation with a high quality of life in 20 years. It is necessary to employ cost-effective, world-class infrastructure facilities and services in support of socio-economic development.
The development of the following roads to world class standards will support Kenya’s Vision 2030: Connecting Kenya to other countries
• Northern Corridor connecting major towns in Kenya
• Roads connecting tourist sites — Isiolo and the northern tourist circuit; Diani and kilifi; Masai Mara and Tsavo national park
• Roads connecting the 209 district head-quarters, with emphasis on bitumen standards of roads.
The World Bank, through the Northern Corridor Transport Improvement Project, is improving the corridor from Mombasa to the Malaba and Busia border points. The Government will upgrade or develop other roads to support Vision 2030. Design and feasibility studies have been done for some.
