The project aims to enhance trade, tourism, and connectivity in Homa Bay County by upgrading four airstrips: Mfangano, Rusinga, Otange, and Otaro. These airstrips currently lack the capacity for larger aircraft, limiting economic opportunities. Expanding their infrastructure will increase flights, attract more investors and tourists, and provide locals with improved air transport. The project requires $266,666 and is expected to be completed within four years. Currently, Kabunde Airstrip serves as the primary air transport hub, offering limited capacity. Upgrading additional airstrips will provide locals and businesses with more transport options and enhance market accessibility. The investment will expand infrastructure to international standards, increasing competition and attracting airline operators. The project seeks funding through grants, equity, debt financing, or public-private partnerships to improve air transport services. This investment will boost employment, improve county revenue, and contribute to poverty reduction. It will enhance the tourism industry, facilitate import and export trade, and create economic opportunities by improving accessibility for businesses and travelers. Strengthening air transport infrastructure will unlock Homa Bay’s economic potential and better connect it to regional and global markets.
