The World Bank has approved a Sh81 billion loan to upgrade half of the 740-kilometre Isiolo-Mandera road and lay a fibre-optic cable in a major boost to the North Eastern region.
The lender said on Wednesday that it projects the International Development Association (IDA) financing will improve the movement of people and goods, digital connectivity and access to social services for over 3.2 million people living in the region.
