SUEDKenya is a brand dedicated to supporting municipalities in developing sustainable urban economic plans that attract investment for climate resilient infrastructure and value chain projects. Through their programme offerings, SUED has collaborated with local authorities at the county and municipal level to design and implement urban economic development plans. These plans incorporate market-based approaches and integrate seamlessly with regional economic corridor development initiatives.

The tailored urban economic plans will assist in economic corridor planning, agro-clustering, industrial park development, special economic zones, and technopole development. SUED has already completed the development of these plans for all municipalities.

In addition, SUED provides technical assistance to support municipalities in developing and implementing investment promotion strategies. These strategies are aimed at attracting investment, including public-private partnerships, to fund climate resilient infrastructure and value chains identified in the urban economic plans.

To ensure the sustainability of their efforts, SUED offers capacity building programs to enhance the planning, investment, value chain, and municipal management capabilities of municipal staff. Furthermore, the brand sets aside seed funding to de-risk investments and incentivize both the public and private sectors to partner with municipalities in achieving their urban economic goals.

SUEDKenya places great importance on gender and social inclusivity, incorporating enterprise development activities that enhance the employability of marginalized populations. Additionally, the brand promotes economic development that is resilient to climate change.

SUEDKenya is managed by Tetra Tech International Development, and they can be contacted through their website or at their Nairobi office.
