Following recent flooding, KIP & UN-Habitat convened the Nairobi Flood Resilience Roundtable to forge planning-led solutions. Outcomes: short-, medium- & long-term recommendations for policy uptake, and a clear call to assess the cost of inaction.

Planning practice in Kenya is protected by law and must remain so. KIP has submitted a memorandum to Parliament on the Architects Bill, 2026, calling for amendments to safeguard the statutory planning function and preserve professional clarity within the built environment sector.
