Project summary
The project at a glance: the need, the plan and the numbers.
The Nairobi Beyond 2040 Project is a plan to bring jobs, industries and services closer to where Nairobi residents live, through 68 business centers across the county.
The need
According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), as reported in the Kenya Poverty Report, Nairobi City County has an overall poverty headcount rate of 16.5%. As the population keeps growing, new and ambitious strategies for job creation are needed.
The plan
Tree Food Systems is developing a platform to generate the funding required to construct four 12-story buildings in each sub-county of Nairobi. We plan to establish 68 business centers in total, so that 4 are built in each of the 17 sub-counties.
Key figures
- 16.5% poverty headcount rate in Nairobi City County
- 4.4 to 5 million people estimated to live in Nairobi
- 725,000 to 825,000 people living below the national poverty line
- 17 sub-counties, 4 business centers in each, 68 in total
Inside every business center
Offices, a hall or event space, clothing and shoe jobs for youth, women and men, a restaurant, a pharmacy, microfinance banks and supermarkets.
