More than 200 residents of Lopur Ward in Turkana West, including members of the refugee community, have registered with the National Employment Authority (NEA) to access job opportunities both locally and internationally.
This initiative is part of NEA's integration into the ongoing Gava Mashinani programme, a government-led effort implemented by BOMA to decentralise essential services and bring them closer to grassroots communities.
Michael Musyoki, Manager of the Kakuma Biashara Huduma Centre, emphasised the importance of the partnership in enhancing employment access in underserved regions. "By integrating employment services into Gava Mashinani, NEA is bridging the gap between job seekers and human resource systems.
This effort enhances access to decent work for both host and refugee populations," said Musyoki.
