Today, Regional Development Authorities (RDAs) held a strategic engagement with Principal Secretary Caroline Karugu to provide updates on our programmes, achievements, and priorities aimed at accelerating regional development. During the session, I highlighted the Lake Basin Development Authorityโ€™s (LBDA) progress in advancing aquaculture, agriculture, environmental conservation, and investment initiatives across the Lake Region. I also outlined our efforts in strengthening value chains, promoting climate resilience, enhancing partnerships, and mobilizing resources to drive sustainable socio-economic transformation. LBDA remains committed to creating opportunities, improving livelihoods, and delivering impactful development interventions that contribute to inclusive growth and prosperity across our region. #SmartSustainableDevelopment #BETA
