The Kenya Railways Cooperation (KRC) owns an extensive railway network of 2;778 km of narrow-gauge lines and 605 km of standard-gauge lines in the country. It is also the second largest landowner; possessing large tracts of land along the railways and surrounding station areas. The Nairobi commuter rail system serves around 13;000 passengers per day on four lines totaling 155 kilometers. A large proportion of KRC-owned land is yet to be effectively utilized/developed to boost urban development and generate additional revenue which can support the commuter rail operation. Additionally; land abutting the extensive commuter railway line presents a diverse and largely untapped financing avenue towards unlocking the financing gap needed to boost commuter rail operations within the Nairobi Metropolitan Region. The GoK is in partnership with the World Bank; in preparing the Kenya Urban Mobility Improvement Project (KUMIP); that aims to improve urban mobility services within the Nairobi Metropolitan Area and enhance the institutional capacity for resilient and green urban transport development in Kenya. KUMIP embraces a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) approach that seeks to enhance integrated land use planning and transportation planning towards enhancing the development of vibrant communities around railway transit nodes; therefore in essence increasing the usability and effectiveness of the rail as a primary public transport mode. KUMIP will also support GoK’s ongoing effort in urban mobility sector reform. Therefore; as part of KUMIP project preparation; the assignment will seek to understand land-based revenue generation opportunities that can be harnessed by the Kenya Railways and County Governments in the NMA.The specific objectives of the assignment are: (i) To assess the specific legal and regulatory restrictions and opportunities at both national and county level regarding land revenue extraction for parastatals like KRC; in comparison to county and national government agencies.(ii) To assess the opportunities of land-based revenue generation for Kenya Railway Corporation and county governments in the Nairobi Metropolitan Area as a result of improved service and TOD investments on the Nairobi Commuter Railway NetworkThe outputs of the assignment shall provide guidance to KRC on the opportunities for implementing LVC mechanisms towards generation of additional financial resources; in supporting the development and operations of commuter railway operation in the Nairobi Metropolitan Area operations. In addition; this study will advise the KUMIP team in identifying readily accessible LVC opportunities on KRC lands as a first step of implementation of Land-Value Capture.
