Create awareness on affirmative action funds to enhance uptake

Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat Director General Kenneth Mwige with the State Department for Youth Principal Secretary Charles Sunkuli after an MoU that outlines areas of partnership and programmes aimed at creating awareness of GOK opportunities under the affirmative action funds.

In a bid to make available economic opportunities to women, youth, persons living with disabilities and other disadvantaged groups, Kenya has, over the years introduced various affirmative action funds, including Women Enterprise Fund and the Youth Enterprise Fund. This has seen many members of the target groups access capital to initiate income-generating activities. Many women and youth have accessed affordable credit and business support services, giving a major boost to small and medium enterprises.
