Developing Kenya's Emerging
Municipalities into Strategic
Green Growth Hubs
SUED is a £70 million, six-year programme supported by the UK Government.
The programme supports12 fast growing municipalities to develop sustainable urban economic plans and 10 of them to attract investment for critical infrastructure and value chain projects.

SUED's Strategic Approach
SUED is geared towards supporting market-driven growth in its 12 supported municipalities to aid them to become economically viable centers of sustainable urban development.
We are working with 10 supported municipalities to help them attract investment for critical climate-resilient infrastructure and value chain projects. We are doing this through partnering with both the public and private sector to improve urban economic planning, business environment reforms and developing bankable urban investments.
SUED is hopeful that in doing so supported municipalities will have an enabling environment for economic growth that is inclusive and sustainable.
SUED's Funding
SUED is funded by the UK Government. The programme's funding is channeled through two mechanisms:
Seed Fund: Part of the programme fund is being utilised to support infrastructural development and value chain projects. The seed fund is demand led and based on the projects identified in the respective municipal urban economic plans
Technical Assistance: Each municipality receives technical support across the programme's implementation period. The technical supports cuts across urban economic planning, investment attraction, regulatory reform and institutional strengthening.
