TheUnited States government has cancelled the construction of a Ksh7.76 billion GIS platform to manage urban transport data in order to ease traffic congestion in Nairobi.
According to reports this was after the government published the National Treasury’s Energy, Infrastructure, and ICT Sector Working Group Report for FY 2026/27–2028/29, where it emerged that the Nairobi transport projects under the Kenya Millennium Development Fund (KMDF) have stalled due to shifts in U.S. foreign aid policy.
Reports indicate that the project was initially scheduled for completion but remain partially implemented.
KsKsh 7.76 billion had been allocated for the project as the United States was to contribute Ksh5.8 billion, while Kenya would provide an additional Ksh1.56 billion.
