NCBA Bank is collaborating with the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) at the 8th Changamka Kenya Shopping Festival to support Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector. In a separate effort, HACO Industries Kenya Limited, UNHCR, and Nemlon Training Institute have launched the HACO ElevateHER Initiative, a social enterprise program to empower women from refugee and host communities in the haircare sector. This focus on industry aligns with a new national strategy, spearheaded by Cabinet Secretary for Investments, Trade and Industry Lee Kinyanjui, for Kenya to become a regional manufacturing hub. This industrial push leverages green energy and artificial intelligence to promote sustainability and technology.
