At the Global Infrastructure Cooperation Conference 2026, Kenya’s PPP director presented a 13-project pipeline ranging across transport, energy, water, irrigation and digital infrastructure that the government plans to take to market in FY2026/27.
Kenya presented 13 priority PPP projects at GICC 2026 in Seoul and plans active market engagement for them in FY2026/27.
The pipeline mixes large transport corridors, power generation and transmission, irrigation dams, digital hubs and a proposed commercial spaceport.

# The project mix The portfolio covers transport, energy, water, irrigation and ICT. Projects named in the announcement include:
# Why these projects are being packaged now
# Financing approach
# What's notable in the portfolio
The inclusion of a Kenya Commercial Spaceport shows the government is pursuing a diverse set of strategic investments, including a satellite launch facility in the Kipini area. The Dongo Kundu power plant is a large-scale thermal project expected to attract both public and private investment.
# Immediate next steps and timeline Kefa Seda said the 13 projects are identified for active market engagement during the 2026/27 financial year. That implies preparation of procurement documents, investor roadshows, and seeking both international and domestic financiers. The National Infrastructure Fund is expected to be a complementary channel for mobilising domestic institutional capital as projects move toward market participation.
# Bottom line Kenya's presentation at GICC 2026 is an explicit push to convert a broad infrastructure pipeline into bankable PPP deals within FY2026/27. The government is seeking a mix of foreign long-term finance and domestic institutional capital to support projects across transport, energy, water, irrigation, ICT and coastal/space infrastructure.
U.S. says it has already closed about 60 deals worth $26 billion (Ksh3.37 trillion) as the US pushes to deepen commercial ties with African countries.
Tanzania is seeking private investment in health services and infrastructure through public-private partnerships (PPPs) and long-term contracts. The Government plans to combine PPPs with domestic revenue, pooled financing, and selective borrowing to fund the sector.
Wawekezaji wa Korea Kusini wameanza kuonyesha nia ya kuingia kwenye soko la teknolojia Tanzania, wakilenga maeneo ya vituo vya kuhifadhi taarifa, mtandao wa 5G, fiber na huduma za Serikali Mtandao.
The ruling comes as the government continues to use PPPs to finance major infrastructure projects, including projects like the Rironi-Mau Summit highway.
This comes at a time when the U.S. is seeking key investment and partnership deals with Kenya in energy, minerals and infrastructure.
