The government has called upon youth, women and registered business groups in Kericho County to take full advantage of the ongoing rollout of the Kenya Jobs and Economic Transformation (KJET) Project.
This is, a flagship Sh19 billion initiative supported by the World Bank and planned to span a five-year period ending in 2029.
Implemented under the State Department for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Development, KJET project is structured around four main components including business and investment enabling reforms, MSME cluster competitiveness, green financing and climate resilience, and project monitoring and evaluation.
Speaking during the National Government Development County Implementation Coordination and Management Committee (NGD-CICMC) meeting held at the County Commissioner's Boardroom, Kericho County Senior Enterprise Development Officer Michelle Aburilli said the project seeks to create and improve employment opportunities, attract private investment, and increase access to sustainable financing while boosting the productivity of small and medium enterprises through targeted support to organized clusters across the country.
