Last week, Kenya hosted a high-ranking delegation of international development partners and donors. The overriding message from the United Nations, World Bank, European Union, Islamic Development Bank Group and the African Development Bank was on the interdependence of peace and development.
To this end, some of these institutions pledged Sh716 billion to support peace and development in the Horn of Africa, which covers Kenya, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda.
