Transportation projects in Nairobi City are planned by various executing agencies and donors in the last decade, but these projects have not been coordinated each other. Because of that, there are some conflicts actualised between the on-going projects and no counter measures has been implemented, which should be discussed within the relevant institutions.
Nairobi City is in a transition period of urban core policy development of various fields based on the related master plan including NIUPLAN, after the 2012 devolution. However, NaMATA, the agency which was legalized to take an initiative and responsibility for any implementation of transport policy in Nairobi Metropolitan Area, is still on the way of activation.
Under these circumstances above, JICA and NCCG agreed to work on the mobility improvement in the Urban Core in 2016, to determine an appropriate integrated transport system without having pre-justification through an analysis of traffic demand utilising a latest technique as well as examination of all the relevant on-going transport projects.
