The project road is an important section of the Northern Corridor (NC) which links the port of Mombasa in Kenya with the land-linked eastern and central African countries of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Mombasa-Mariakani road is located in Mombasa and Kilifi Counties of Coastal Kenya. The Project consists of the dualling of 41.7 km of the Mombasa–Mariakani Highway with grade separated junctions and associated soft components including training of unemployed youth, capacity building consultancy services for mainstreaming gender in road sub-sector and to improve sustainability of road maintenance. The total cost of the project is UA 189.42 million. The project is co-financed by the Bank Group (42.2%), German Development Bank (KfW) (22.2%), European Investment Bank (22.2%), Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund (8.9%) and Government of Kenya (4.5%). The overall implementation period is 5 years (2015 – 2020) with additional maintenance period of 5 years.
The development objectives of the project are to increase trade and regional integration and to contribute to the GOK’s social and economic development and poverty reduction efforts by providing a more efficient and effective transport system. The objective of the project is to improve transport of import and export goods, and passengers traffic along the Northern Corridor. The project will also contribute towards restoring the road network, and improving economic and social welfare of people living in urban, peri-urban and rural areas along the project road.
Project beneficiaries are corridor residents who will have greater economic opportunities and improved access to social services and goods. Regional beneficiaries include producers, manufacturers and traders who will have an improved access on the main corridor from the Port of Mombasa easing movement of exports and imports at a reduced time and cost.
