Energy, infrastructure to highlight Kenya's Ticad VI conference

Kenya will have a chance to showcase her progress in energy and infrastructure in an upcoming international economic conference to be held in August.
The Japan organised Tokyo International Conference on African Development (Ticad) has already adopted declarations on these areas from the just concluded G7 Summit to be the main focus of the conference.

"All outcome of G7 Summit are to be used on Ticad meeting that seeks to make African nations achieve their development agenda in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs)," said Yasuhisa Kawamura Japan's official of Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to the declaration, the seven powerful nations led by Japan vowed to mobilise resources to increase investment to do away with infrastructure with higher lifecycle costs, less durability, inequitable distributive effects and vulnerability to environment.
