In Kisumu, the project is spearheaded in collaboration with the county directorate of trade and enterprise through the county administration unit tasked with the identification of the local SMEs within the various administrative wards. According to Director Enos Adala, the County looks forward to adapt and implement the project to support small businesses in the County.

The objective of the project is to establish and operationalize an accredited network of the county baseline assessment on the SMEs in Kisumu, to develop inclusive and diverse networks of MSMEs to catalyze growth and trade opportunities in the county.

The initiative organized a capacity building training for the sub county and ward administrators on the concept of the Kenya small business development center with the focus on Agribusiness, Creatives, textile, transport sector, manufacturing, finance and insurance, CT, construction and infrastructure food and hospitality and business service.

The forum was also graced by Director Fisheries, Susan Adhiambo, Director Administration, Leonard Kwama, project officers and county officials.
