Loans approved for Kenya

23 January 2006


France, through development agency Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD), gave a soft loan of 60M euros (US$72.38M) to connect new users to the electricity grid in six rural provinces and improve water supply in Nairobi.

Japan gave Kenya a non-project grant aid of 1.3Byen (US$11.3M), which it described as a type of budgetary support, and a grant of 460M yen (US$4M) for farmers to buy fertiliser.

A part of the French loan will be used to revamp a dam supplying Nairobi's water and improve the city's sewage disposal system
