NAIROBI: Kenya has launched an ambitious 10-year plan to revive the manufacturing and industrial sector, which is hoped to generate one million new jobs.

The blueprint will also see the creation of an industrial development fund, industrial parks along infrastructure corridors, and support the agro-processing, textile and mining sectors, among others.
