Mombasa Industrial Park

Unleashing East Africa's Economic Hub

The Kenya Coastal Region is crucial for East African economic growth, with its economic strength centered around the Port of Mombasa and its surrounding counties' potential in agriculture, fisheries, and tourism. However, despite its rich natural resources and global connectivity, Kenya's coastal economy is not generating enough investment or economic opportunities for its citizens.
The private sector struggles to absorb new labor market entrants, leading to high unemployment and poverty rates (poverty levels in the region reach 62%).

A Vision for Economic Transformation

The County Government of Mombasa (CGM) plans to develop a prime piece of land in Jomvu Kuu ward into Mombasa Industrial Park (MIP) as part of their vision to create more jobs in higher value-adding manufacturing sectors.
MIP will serve as a hub for efficiency-seeking and market-based industries and logistics, benefiting from excellent infrastructure, trade, and transport links to international markets via port and regional markets via the Northern Corridor and Standard-Gauge Railway (SGR).
The park will thrive within the broader ambitious development of Mombasa Port and Dongo Kundu zone.
