Kwale County, in collaboration with the Kenya Marine Fisheries Socio-Economic Development (KEMFSED) project, has distributed 13 fibre boats to local fishermen and seaweed farmers to make their businesses a lot easier.
The 2020-2025 KEMFSED project, worth Sh10 billion, is implemented by the State Department for Blue Economy and Fisheries with support from the World Bank.
The project is being implemented in the coastal counties of Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi and Lamu to improve livelihood activities in coastal communities.
The donor-funded programme aims at expanding access to livelihood support, food security services, and grants for poor and vulnerable households and businesses, contributing to the overall socio-economic development of the coastal counties.
