The City of Choice

Nairobi City County Government (NCCG) will implement programming that promotes the involvement and employment of migrants, refugees and receiving communities in the environmental and economic sustainability of Nairobi most marginalized areas. NCCG will first conduct a baseline survey to understand the skills and employment needs of migrant, refugee and IDP communities living in informal settlements in Nairobi. Based on this survey, livelihoods and resilience strategies will be developed in concert with target communities. NCCG will establish an innovation centre and carry out public space improvement activities, including establishing legal areas for vendors, to provide greater livelihoods opportunities to refugees, migrants and IDPs as part of Nairobi’s green and just transition. This project is in line with Nairobi’s proposed project for the MMC's Global Cities Fund for Migrants and Refugees.
