Japanese experts will participate in the AFIF two-day training, which aims to provide new tools to entrepreneurs to present a business plan to potential investors and access to finance in Nairobi.
JICA will present a concept aimed at applying best practices of Japanese management excellence – the Kaizen method - in some pilot companies in Kenya.
