Kenya boosts job creation and labour reforms, says Mwadime

Mwadime stated that Kenya is investing in green jobs under its Green Economy Strategy and Implementation Plan (GESIP), promoting circular economy models and skills for a just transition. "We urge increased international support to finance employment-intensive infrastructure, strengthen social protection systems, and support climate-just transitions in vulnerable nations," he added.
The ILO Conference has brought together representatives from governments, employers, and workers globally.
The Director General, Gilbert Houngbo, emphasised the importance of collective solutions to evolving labour challenges.
Kenya also commended the ILO's sustained focus on decent work amid rising global uncertainty, inequality, and climate challenges.
The Kenyan delegation included Dr. Francis Atwoli, Secretary General of the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU-K), and Jacqueline Mugo, Executive Director and CEO of the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE), both of whom addressed the meeting on behalf of workers and employers, respectively.
