Kenya Konza Technology City (KMIP)
As part of its Vision 2030, the Government of Kenya (GOK) sought to cultivate its business-process outsourcing (BPO) sector and related IT-enabled services (ITES) and looked to develop a multimedia ITC park to attract and nurture local and international ITES firms.
Konza City will be developed in four phases over 20 years on a 5,000-acre greenfield site located 60 km south of Nairobi. The new city has been designed as a technology hub with multi-use office space and city amenities to meet demand in Kenya and in East Africa. The project is expected to mobilize at least $500 million in private investment and generate 15,000 jobs in the first five years and serve as a catalyst for the full development of a 35,000-person city on a private basis over 20 years.
