1. Introduction
1.1 Background
WS Atkins International Limited was commissioned to develop the Urban Economic Plan (UEP) for Kerugoya - Kutus Municipality (KKM) as part of the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Sustainable Urban Economic Development Programme (SUED).
The aim of the programme is to support market-driven growth in emerging towns and cities in Kenya. Supporting these smaller centres provides an environment to create economic opportunities and job creation in a way that balances growth across the country, develops economic sectors that can contribute towards increasing the national output, and provides an incentive for minimising uncontrolled migration.
