 Water Programs in Nandihills Constituency

Water accessibility for communal use and irrigation stands as a pivotal factor for economic advancement, particularly in regions like Nandihills Constituency with fertile soils and favorable climatic conditions conducive to agricultural prosperity.

The Kipkurere-Kapkoros Water Project, initially a Kes 120 million endeavor, has now expanded significantly to a Kes 450 million initiative and is set for completion by December of this year. Upon its realization, the lower Kapchorwa region will witness a transformative surge in water availability, catering to both irrigation and domestic needs. Communities spanning Kapkoros, Kitechgaa, Kapsokio, Lengon, Tereno, Kapchanga, segments of the Great Highlands, Chepkober, sections of Ainapngetuny, and Kimwogi will benefit, totaling over 800 households across 400 square kilometers.

The projected impact is substantial, with expectations of a five-fold economic multiplier effect in the lower Kapchorwa area. Recognizing the integral role of infrastructure, there is a concerted effort to collaborate with the county government to enhance road networks, facilitating the smooth transportation of agricultural produce to markets. Emphasis is placed on the cultivation of cash crops and horticulture in lower Kapchorwa, envisioning a significant shift in livelihoods and economic prosperity.
