Project Description
The project provides advisory support to the government of Kenya in
establishing a multimedia ICT (information and communication technology)
park that will be critical to achievement of the country’s Vision 2030
objectives. In addition to its multimedia components, the park will
include multi-use facilities such as office blocks, industrial parks,
recreational facilities, a golf course, shopping malls, hotels and
restaurants, and residential houses, among other facilities and amenities.
Project objectives include completion of four major reports by the end of
the first year, and one successful bid concluded by two years from
implementation start date. Establishment of the multimedia ICT park is
expected to trigger the growth of such knowledge-based industries as BPO
(business process outsourcing) services, software and hardware
development, and the development and packaging of multimedia local
content, among others, and to improve the productivity and competitiveness
of private sector enterprises in Kenya.
