A borehole alone does not guarantee water tomorrow. People do. When communities help manage and maintain water systems, those systems keep serving families long after the construction ends. #KenyaCooperationFramework

Building with young people begins by recognising the skills they already possess & creating an enabling environment for them to thrive. When those skills are recognised and supported, young people become a driving force behind Kenya's economic transformation. #WorldYouthSkillsDay

The reality of the labour market is clear: of the 822,100 new jobs created in 2025, 87.2% were in the informal economy. For young Kenyan's to thrive, we need a skills system that recognizes talent wherever it is found & creates pathways to decent, sustainable work.

Restoration works best when communities lead it. In 2025, 39 community initiatives helped plant more than 160,000 seedlings and restore over 10,000 mangroves along Kenya's coast. #KenyaCooperationFramework

More than 116,000 hectares came under enhanced protection in 2025, including the new Mt Elgon Biosphere Reserve. Protection on paper, then protection in practice. Both have to hold. #KenyaCooperationFramework

2/5 The message from @WahomeHon was direct: The work now has to move from planning to financing implementation. #BCRUP is being shaped as a government-led platform to prepare urban projects, reduce risk for investors and move capital closer to where it is needed.

Financing food systems transformation starts with bringing the right people together. 🌱 Over the last two days, leaders from across the #IGAD region met in Nairobi to strengthen partnerships, shape catalytic financing, and turn country priorities into investable opportunities.

2/4 The Revised MSME Policy 2026 places small businesses at the centre of Kenya’s growth agenda. The next test is practical: credit that reaches further, skills that are recognised, markets that open and systems that see the businesses already doing the work. #MSMEs

1/4 Kenya’s MSMEs are not waiting to matter. They already carry jobs, production, innovation and daily income for millions of households. At #WorldMSMEDay 2026, the harder question was whether finance, skills, markets and policy systems can now catch up. #MSMEs

3/5 Dr. @ConilleGarry placed the UN’s role in that same frame: supporting Kenya’s leadership, not creating another structure. That means helping connect national policy, county priorities and partner finance into one pipeline that can be backed, delivered and felt.

4/4 The measure is not applause in a launch hall. It is a loan approved, a skill certified, a licence simplified, a market opened and a business finally recognised by the systems around it. That is where MSME policy moves from promise to daily economic change. #MSMEs

3/4 🇰🇪 leads the MSME agenda. The UN supports by helping strengthen the systems around it: finance, skills, enterprise support, digital access, market pathways & delivery support that help small businesses move from survival to growth without being left to navigate alone. #MSMEs
