The Kenyan government plans to create 6 million jobs by 2030 through the JobsConnect Compact, making it the first African nation to finalize this global framework. The initiative focuses on green, dignified employment and modernizing the agricultural sector.

• The program aims to create 5.3 million new and improved jobs, reduce food-insecure populations by 10 million, cut food imports by KSh 389 billion, and increase agricultural export earnings by over KSh 648 billion (USD 5 billion).
• Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe announced the plan, highlighting digital agriculture as central to transforming farmer incomes and attracting youth.
• The initiative consolidates agricultural digitization efforts under the Kenya Agriculture Data and Information Centre (KADIC), which will absorb the Agriculture Information and Resource Centre (AIRC).
