The project aims to improve access, mobility, and connectivity in Homa Bay County by investing in road infrastructure. The goal is to increase paved roads from 7% to 31% by 2028, while reducing gravel roads from 44% to 20%. Key focus areas include roads linking economic zones, such as sugarcane-growing areas, industrial parks, and tourist sites. The plan includes constructing 2,400 km of new roads, rehabilitating 2,000 km, and upgrading 500 km of gravel roads to bitumen standards. The estimated cost is $340M, with a projected return of $350M over four years. The upgrade of untapped gravel roads to bitumen presents a significant investment opportunity that will drive economic growth. Improved road infrastructure will enhance trade, accessibility, and ease of business. However, competition in the road construction sector is high, requiring investors to demonstrate technical expertise, financial capacity, and compliance with industry standards. The project seeks funding from equity investors, grants, and public-private partnerships. Improved roads will boost key sectors such as agriculture, education, healthcare, and fishing, leading to higher income levels and economic revitalization. The project will also create jobs, enhance social integration, and improve the overall quality of life for residents. A well-maintained road network will facilitate seamless movement of goods and people, making Homa Bay a more attractive destination for investment and tourism.
