Scope of Work

KPO has divided the country into the following regions: Western, Coastal, Southern, Central and Northern region. Out of these regions, the organization has identified the following anchor counties to implement its interventions in the target regions:

1. Central Region – Anchor County, Nairobi (KPO Headquarters) – KPO will implement projects in Nairobi County mostly in the informal settlements. This anchor county will also be used as a pivot to interventions in the Central and Eastern region of the country.
2. Coastal Region – The anchor county identified for this region is Mombasa County. This was chosen because of KPO’s past interventions in the county and the fact that it is strategically located to reach the other Coastal counties.
3. Northern Region – The anchor county for this region will be Isiolo County. This was chosen because it is gateway to the Northern region of the country and a melting pot of various cultures.
4. Western Region – The anchor county identified for this region is Kakamega County . This was chosen because of its strategic location, past association with provincial headquarters and the fact that in the Western region, the county was found to have the most people with physical disabilities.
5. Southern Region – The anchor county identified for this region was Kajiado County. This was chosen because it is the county that hosts the KPO Rehabilitation Centre and a good number of the clients who will access services from its hospital arm will come from Kajiado County and its neighboring southern counties.
