Makueni County, KDC in Partnership for Youth Summit
Makueni County Deputy Governor Lucy Mulili on Tuesday led a delegation to KDC offices in Nairobi to explore collaboration and partnership towards the successful delivery of the Makueni County Inaugural Youth Summit, scheduled for November 2026.
The Summit is envisioned as a county-wide platform bringing together young people from across Makueni to engage in dialogue, showcase their enterprises and innovations, access mentorship and establish linkages with government, private-sector actors, investors and development partners.
A key component will be the County Youth Innovation and Diaspora Hackathon, which will identify, mentor and refine promising youth-led solutions for showcasing and pitching during the Summit.
KDC Director General, Norah Ratemo expressed the Corporation’s readiness to collaborate with Makueni County in areas like technical mentorship, business advisory support, participation in the innovation challenge, investment-readiness, enterprise development and linkages to financing and investment opportunities.
Mulili welcomed KDC’s readiness to collaborate, emphasizing that the County is seeking a strategic partnership that goes beyond the summit to create sustained opportunities for youth enterprise development, innovation, mentorship, investment and market access.
The engagement was attended by CECM for Gender, Children, Youth, Sports and Social Services Eng. Sebastian Kyoni and other County Government officials
