"Driven out for development: Forced evictions in Mombasa, Kenya"

Hundreds more people are at risk of forced evictions in Jomvu and the nearby settlement of Bangladesh, where the Kenyan authorities have painted large yellow crosses on homes and other structures scheduled for demolition. People have been issued with eviction notices related to the highway expansion, but have not received information on when they will be evicted or if they will be offered any option to resettle.

This report exposes how the highway project, as the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA) is currently implementing it, has ignored well-established safeguards, which would prevent forced evictions taking place. It also reveals how the international financial institutions involved have failed to carry out adequate human rights due diligence to ensure they the projects they fund do not cause or contribute to human rights violations.
