flag A Chinese-built irrigation system in Kenya’s west now enables thousands of farmers to grow crops year-round, boosting food security and incomes.

flag A Chinese-built irrigation project completed in 2024 has transformed flood-prone farmland in western Kenya into a productive agricultural zone. flag Constructed by Sinohydro, the Lower Nzoia Irrigation Project includes 111 km of canals, 71 km of drainage channels, and extensive dikes, enabling over 12,500 households in Siaya and Busia counties to grow rice, maize, and vegetables year-round. flag The gravity-fed system replaced costly electric pumps, saving millions in energy costs and supporting up to three crop seasons annually. flag Environmental safeguards protected wetlands, and a training program empowered local engineers to manage operations independently. flag The project boosts food security, increases farmer incomes, and serves as a model for climate-resilient agriculture across Africa.
