The Africa Urban Lab (AUL), spearheaded by Richard Martin, met with Uasin Gishu County officials to discuss strategies for smarter urban growth in Eldoret City. This collaboration stems from AUL’s Urban Expansion and the Periphery (UXP) Program, focused on bolstering governmental capabilities. The program aims to equip local governments with the tools and knowledge needed for effective urban planning and expansion. Discussions centered on empowering Eldoret to manage its growth sustainably and efficiently. The AUL visit signifies a commitment to supporting locally-led development initiatives. Further details on specific strategies were not immediately available, but the partnership promises a focus on innovative urban solutions for Eldoret. This initiative highlights a growing trend of international organizations partnering with Kenyan counties to foster responsible urbanisation.
