In collaboration with the Turkana County government in Kenya, PROSPECTS supported the paving of the Lodwar fresh produce market using an EIIP approach to link infrastructure development with employment creation, poverty reduction, and local economic and social development.
In partnership with the Turkana County government in Kenya, the PROSPECTS programme supported the paving of the Lodwar fresh produce market using durable cobblestone technology. The project was implemented through the ILO’s Employment Intensive Investment Programme (EIIP), with the county government headquarters providing the venue for training, helping local workers build skills in cobblestone paving. The project promoted the use of locally sourced materials, provided skills training, and created employment opportunities for the local community.
