Today, I attended a multi-sectoral workshop on Self-Reliance in Kakuma, which brought together stakeholders to unlock the potential of refugees and host communities, identify priority investment areas, and strengthen partnerships geared towards scaling up key economic sectors and value chains.
I assured participants of the County Government’s commitment to supporting the implementation of the Shirika Plan, particularly in addressing challenges in water, health and education, while also tapping into the vast potential of the livestock sector.
I also called on the Head of the UNHCR Sub-Office in Kakuma, Nanduri Sateesh, to prioritise partnerships with credible, transparent and accountable community-based organisations that would ensure donor resources are properly utilised, reach intended beneficiaries and are protected from misuse or political interference.
