The County Department of Trade, Cooperatives, Youth, and Gender Affairs, in collaboration with IFC and UNHCR, is evaluating the operational status of the Biashara-Huduma Centre in Kakuma municipality.
The project, funded by IFC through a matching grant with the county government, aims to facilitate the provision of essential government services to both refugees and the host community.
Roseline Aite, County Executive Committee Member for Trade, Cooperatives, Gender, and Youth Affairs, highlighted the sustainability of the facility, which supports businesses through advisory services, training, and mentorship. "Furthermore, business owners who previously had to travel long distances, disrupting their operations, will now benefit from reduced time and financial burdens," Aite said.
On the other hand, she also reaffirmed the county government's commitment to sustaining the project and exploring supplementary budget allocations to enhance service provision.
