Counties in North Rift are just from holding one of the most high profile meetings where everything from agriculture to trade was discussed at length.

Under the ambitious North Rift Economic Bloc (Noreb), eight counties have agreed to work together in an effort to spur economic growth in the region. The eight counties are Turkana, West Pokot, Baringo, Trans Nzoia, Samburu, Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo Marakwet and Nandi.
