Nyeri County Government has scaled up training of vulnerable groups with the aim of increasing their prospects of securing government tenders and contracts through the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO).
The training is targeting youth below the age of 35 years, women especially an estimated 65,000 widows residing in the county and Persons with Disability who will be equipped with skills to take up government contracts at both national and county levels.
Launched in 2016, AGPO is an affirmative action program targeting vulnerable groups.
Under the policy, both the national government and the devolved units are required to reserve 30 per cent of all jobs and tenders for youth, PWD and women-owned enterprises.
