At least 15 women drawn from Kenya are slated to undergo a training that aims to equip them with expertise in the production and marketing of medicinal herbs and aromatics.
The group is a fraction of fellow women selected from five countries under the Medicinal and Aromatic Plants for African Circular Economy (MAPs ACE) project.
The three-year project, that is funded by the European Union (EU) at a cost of Sh59 million (400,000 Euros) and which is being implemented in collaboration by vocational education and training (VET) providers from Hungary and Slovakia, along with partners from Kenya, Mauritius, and South Africa, aims to strengthen the capacity, innovation, and sustainability in African agriculture.
Addressing the media today in Nairobi, Herbspicemarket Director Ms Esther Ngina, said the 15 Kenyans were identified based on their willingness and interest in the production of medicinal herbs and aromatics.
