The Kenya Development Corporation (KDC) has called for alignment of development financing with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

KDC board Chairman Dr Sakwa Bunyasi, speaking during a recent benchmarking session with a delegation from Zambia, noted the importance of economic integration not only for AfCFTA but also for Agenda 2063 – Africa‘s strategic framework for achieving inclusive and sustainable development by 2063.
