The document is an environmental and social review of the Muyeye Public Space Improvement Project in Kilifi County, focused on building a Boda Boda shed outside Muyeye Health Center.
The review highlights methodology, project location, construction inputs, landscaping, anticipated wastes, and energy use. Instead of relying on mains electricity, the shed will use solar-powered lighting for sustainability, safety, and extended business hours. The project is expected to generate minimal soil waste (under two tons), which will be managed by Malindi Municipality.
Socially, consultations were held with the community, county officials, and relevant agencies. Key concerns included the shed’s location on a road reserve (risk of demolition), stakeholder engagement, and co-design workshops. The project emphasizes inclusivity by reserving at least a third of construction jobs for women and persons with disabilities (PWDs), along with skills training in plastering, painting, and record-keeping.
Benefits identified include safer working conditions, organized operations, longer business hours, and indirect job creation through informal businesses such as food vending. The shed is positioned as both a shelter and an economic stimulant, fostering improved livelihoods, especially for women and vulnerable groups.
