Turkana County Government Engages Digireg Kenya for the Review and Revision of the Lodwar Municipal Plan to Enhance Urban Development and Management
The County Government of Turkana is working towards improving urban planning and development efficiency within Lodwar Municipality. To achieve this, they partnered with Digireg Kenya to review and revise the existing Lodwar Municipality Plan. This collaborative effort aimed to strengthen urban management, promote sustainable development, and address emerging urban challenges.
Digireg Kenya led a comprehensive revision of zoning plans, development control frameworks, and urban design guidelines to create a more livable and resilient municipality. Key additions included climate adaptation strategies, sustainability guidelines, and a traffic management plan tailored for the central business district (CBD). Digireg also provided targeted capacity-building workshops for local stakeholders and developed GIS-based thematic maps to support data-driven planning.
Deliverables from this collaboration included a comprehensive report outlining gaps and issues in the existing plan, a stakeholder engagement report, revised zoning maps, updated planning regulations, sector-specific development strategies, a capital investment plan, and an implementation framework. This initiative contributed significantly to enhancing urban infrastructure and management in Lodwar, promoting sustainable socio-economic growth.
