Under the DigiKen Programme, UNCDF & Co-operative Bank formalized a $900K guarantee to expand finance for startups & MSMEs. 💡 De-risking lending = more capital, growth, jobs. #Kenya #DigitalEconomy #MSMEs Photo credits: Cooperative Bank of Kenya and UN RCO

Discriminatory laws weaken justice in conflict and post‑conflict settings. As UNOAU marking #IWD2026 alongside @UN_Women, we stress that justice requires evidence – gender data must drive legal reform and accountability. #ForAllWomenAndGirls #WPS #GenderData

@ToilyKurbanov We are really passionate about innovative volunteerism. Some volunteers are not in the UN register but creating positive change.

Opening remarks from the Director General @DrAbeySheikh of @NCPD_Kenya notes that Kenya’s population dynamics are rapidly shifting, marked by a significant youth bulge that calls for greater investment in young people to harness the country’s demographic dividend. The report highlights important national progress, including declining mortality and fertility rates, a reduced dependency ratio from over 100 to 75 that supports economic growth, expanded access to education and health services, strengthened policy and legal frameworks, and improved data collection to guide interventions. At the same time, Kenya is experiencing both a growing youth population and an emerging ageing population. Continued population growth is placing pressure on resources, while unemployment, underemployment, and a persistent skills mismatch remain critical concerns. This raises important questions: How can Kenya better align education outcomes with labour market needs? And how do we ensure that what learners study matches the skills required in today’s economy? #PopulationAtTheCentre #KenyaPSA2025

Delighted by the rich conversation with HE Dr. Robert Afriyie, Ambassador of the Republic of 🇬🇭 to the AU, on the upcoming AU Assembly & 🇬🇭’s Vice‑Presidency. I congratulated Ghana for its promising “Accra Reset Initiative”, championing Africa’s self-reliance.

With a heavy heart, I mourn my close friend @KaundaGwendo a brother who gave not because he had much, but because he believed in sharing. His kindness changed lives. Rest in power, Bill.#RIP linkedin.com/posts/john-lin…
