President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday launched a Sh2.2 billion Empowering Novel Agribusiness-led Employment (ENABLE Kenya) programme. The programme is a youth capacity-building initiative aimed at creating employment, generating income, and bridging the succession gap in agribusiness. ENABLE Kenya is funded by both the government of Kenya and the African Development Bank (AfDB). The programme seeks to build the capacity of 10,000 Kenyan young people involved in agribusiness to enable them to create employment opportunities for 50,000 others. “Ultimately, these efforts will go a long way to transform negative perceptions on agribusiness and make it more attractive to young people.”
