Background
 

The Nairobi City County is one of the 47 Counties in Kenya. 

However, it’s different from the other Counties as it is the Capital City of Kenya and generates & controls about 60% of the national GDP, among the top 5 cities in Africa, the commercial hub and gateway to the Eastern and Central Africa, the only City in the world with a National Park within its boundaries and host to UNHABITAT headquarters and other UN agencies and numerous multinationals. 

We have a vision “to be the City of choice in Africa, for all to invest, work and live”.

• The designs should not infringe on any copyright and the contestants will indemnify Nairobi City County against any infringement.
