Abstract
This Kenya Water Compact establishes a unified framework for intergovernmental coordination and partner alignment, ensuring that investments and reforms in the Water and Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector are coherent, results-oriented, and resilient to climate and economic shocks. This Water Compact includes two documents: the Kenya WASH Compact (2026-2030) and the Kenya Irrigation and Water Security Compact (2026-2030), as two complementary and mutually reinforcing pillars of a single national water vision. The Water Compact provides for: eliminating open defecation entirely, reducing non-revenue water from 45% to 25%, strengthening the creditworthiness and governance of Water Service Providers, embedding climate resilience into every dimension of water and sanitation infrastructure, improving dam and water infrastructure development, increasing investments in water harvesting and in irrigation services, integrating gender-responsive design across all WASH service delivery initiatives.
