Welcome to KDRDIP
Empowering Refugee-Hosting Communities in Kenya
Kenya Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project (KDRDIP) is a National Government initiative, supported by the World Bank to improve lives of the refugee-hosting communities in the north of the country. It is a Community Driven Development (CDD) where communities identify, plan, implement, monitor and sustain their own development projects. The projects identified by the communities are integrated into the Community Development Plans (CDPs) before they receive funding. The National Project Implementation Unit (NPIU) processes funding for the approved projects and disburses it directly to beneficiary communities through the County Integrated Project Implementation Units (CIPIUs). Communities have established Village Level Committees (VLCs) to manage the implementation of the community projects. The key committees at the village level include Community Project Management Committees (CPMCs), Social Audit Committees (SACs) and Grievance Redress Committees (GRCs). The committees are trained on their roles and responsibilities in project management. KDRDIP works with various stakeholders in efforts to transform lives of the refugee-hosting communities in Turkana, Wajir and Garissa Counties.
Community Testimonies
KDRDIP is financed through an IDA Credit of US$100 million equivalent for Kenya and an IDA grant of US$3 million equivalent to IGAD to be implemented through its Regional Secretariat. The Project is structured in components as below:
(a) Component 1: Social and Economic Infrastructure and Services
(b) Component 2: Environmental and Natural Resource Management
(c) Component 3: Livelihoods Program
(d) Component 4: Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation, and Knowledge Sharing
Component 1 supports improvements in access to quality basic services for the refugee-host communities in northern Kenya which is the home of close to 500,000 refugees from neighboring Somalia, Sudan and other countries. The key services offered under the component are expansion primary and secondary schools, health services, water supply, sanitation, hygiene and access roads infrastructure. The approximate cost for component 1 is US$45 million.
