Kenya's affordable housing programme is redeveloping parts of Nairobi's Kibera settlement with new apartment blocks, aiming to provide modern housing in an area historically associated with urban poverty.

• The programme aims to deliver 200,000 housing units annually, though progress has been slower than target.
• President William Ruto's administration is spearheading the project, which is financed by a compulsory levy of 1.5% from employee and employer contributions.
• Concerns remain regarding the affordability of the new homes for lower-income residents and the transparency of allocation, with past projects showing how upgrades can lead to displacement and social replacement by better-off households.
