“This partnership represents a continued commitment to working with the Government in order to support development for all Kenyans,” said Prince Hussain Aga Khan. “It is an important step towards ensuring that the historical and cultural heritage, as well as the significant biodiversity of Nairobi City Park, is conserved now and for the generations to come.”
The primary objective of the collaboration and project is to rehabilitate and redevelop Nairobi's City Park as major metropolitan park which will be recognised internationally for excellence in restoration, environmental practices and financial self-sustainability. The project will create a prototype of urban park rehabilitation in Kenya and restore the City Park such that it complements and enhances the existing environmentally important areas and will become an attraction of great repute.
The agreement foresees collaboration through environmental improvements, landscape architectural conservation and enhancement and creation of new facilities. These activities will improve the quality of the site, making the environment safe for visitors to the City Park and provide the necessary infrastructures by respecting the natural and cultural heritage of the City Park and the people of Kenya.
