OUTLINE OF THE PRESENTATION

Introduction Ongoing Road Projects in Nairobi Planned Road projects in Nairobi Private Sector Participation in Development of Road Infrastructure Opportunities for Private sector Participation Way Forward

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Economic pillar of the Vision 2030 is founded on road transport infrastructure as an enabler. Connectivity through a network of roads, railways, ports, airports, water and sanitation facilities, and telecommunications. How does RSIP affect the operations of Nairobi Business Park and the entire business environment?
