Kenya Meets Development Partners to Accelerate Infrastructure Development The Public Private Partnerships (PPP) Directorate today held a strategic partnership meeting with foreign missions to accelerate the implementation of Kenya’s PPP programme. The engagement, which was chaired by the Principal Secretary for the State Department of Public Investments and Assets Management, Mr. Cyrell Wagunda, brought together a cross-section of development partners and members of the diplomatic community. In his opening remarks, PS Wagunda emphasized that infrastructure development and improved public service delivery remain central to the Government’s economic transformation agenda. “Achieving our infrastructure development goals require innovative financing approaches, mobilization of private capital, and stronger development cooperation through the PPP framework”, he noted. He also highlighted the critical role of development partners in providing technical assistance, project preparation funding, guarantees, concessional financing, and policy support to make PPP projects bankable and investment-ready. PS Wagunda described the engagement as the start of a more structured partnership between the Government of Kenya and the development community to advance PPPs. The Director General of the PPP Directorate, Eng. Kefa Seda, briefed participants on ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening the PPP ecosystem. These include reviewing PPP regulations to operationalize the Public Private Partnership Act 2021 and updating PPP guidelines to ensure greater alignment with stakeholder needs and evolving market realities. Eng. Seda noted that the engagement seeks to build stronger synergies among development partners while expanding participation across counties and economic sectors in line with Government priorities. “The Government is currently prioritizing structured PPP collaborations in key sectors including energy, water, transport, roads, and agriculture,” he explained. The meeting provided a platform to not only align Kenya’s priority PPP opportunities with partner support instruments but also explored blended finance models that reduce investment risks and attract private capital. Additionally, discussions included modalities for strengthening coordination among development partners to avoid duplication while maximizing development impact. Key participants in the meeting included representatives from the Turkish Embassy, GiZ Kenya, Japanese Embassy, European Union, United States Embassy, Canadian High Commission, Korean Embassy, German Embassy, Embassy of Belgium, Netherlands Embassy, Seriti Green (SA), Nedbank Ltd, AKSA Power, Nippon Koei, ABSA Bank Kenya, Zutari, Sanlam Allianz and Investec Bank, among others. @EngKefaSeda @SDPI_AM @KeTreasury @WorldBankGroup @EUinKenya @USEmbassyKenya #PPPKenya #InfrastructureDevelopment #PublicPrivatePartnerships #Investment #DevelopmentCooperation #DevelopmentPartners

In Teso, education is often described as the bridge out of poverty. But what happens when that bridge is repeatedly washed away? Across the region, heavy floods cut off access roads, submerge school compounds, and damage classroom infrastructure. During prolonged droughts, household incomes shrink, forcing families to make impossible decisions including withdrawing children from school. The effects are not temporary. They are cumulative. When a learner misses weeks of school due to climate-related disruptions, academic performance declines. When harvests fail, school fees go unpaid. When girls are pushed into early marriages as a coping mechanism for economic stress, their education ends permanently. Climate change in Teso is silently reshaping educational outcomes. In districts such as Pallisa ,Katakwi, Amuria, and Soroti, many schools operate without climate resilient infrastructure. Few have disaster preparedness plans. Even fewer integrate climate awareness into their learning curriculum. Yet solutions are within reach. To protect education in Teso, we must: • Invest in climate resilient school infrastructure • Strengthen school feeding programs to stabilize attendance • Establish emergency education response systems • Promote digital and alternative learning access during disasters • Prioritize girl-child retention strategies As a youth-led organization, @tedayouthteso resilience must become a central pillar of regional development planning. Protecting classrooms from climate shocks is not optional it is foundational. If education collapses under environmental pressure, long-term development collapses with it. The question we must confront is simple: Are we investing enough to protect the future of Teso’s children? The future of Teso will be determined not just by rainfall patterns but by how we respond to them. #tedayouthteso #EducationForAll #ClimateAction #ClimateAdaptation #EducationInEmergencies #GirlChildEducation #CommunityResilience #SustainableDevelopment #SDGs #GlobalDevelopment #YouthLeadership #EasternUganda #Teso #DevelopmentPartners #ClimateFinance #ActNow

Today, during the launch of the 2025 State of Uganda's Population Report, under the theme: “Mental Health: A Silent Emergency.” Our Executive Board Chairperson @pamdebams emphasised that Mental health is no longer peripheral. It is central to Uganda’s development trajectory. "There remains a clear mismatch between mental health need and investment, we must shift from viewing mental health as a social expenditure to recognising it as a strategic investment in economic growth." She encouraged the @MinofHealthUG, @mofpedU, #Developmentpartners, #CivilSociety, #Privatesector, #Media, #Religiousleaders, among others to continue working with the National Planning Authority(#NPA) to translate evidence into policy, programmes and investment. #PlanningForDevelopment

The event was organized by the Burundi Development Agency @ADB_Burundi. Opening the session, the representative of the Governor of Bujumbura Province welcomed distinguished guests and participants, praising the gathering as an opportunity for meaningful dialogue capable of contributing to Burundi’s sustainable development and economic emergence. Taking the floor, the Director General of the Burundi Development Agency highlighted the Government of Burundi’s continued efforts to stimulate private sector growth while acknowledging the crucial support of technical and financial partners, including the World Bank. He noted that Burundi’s long-term development vision—an emerging country by 2040 and a developed country by 2060—places the private sector at the center of economic transformation, innovation, job creation, and national wealth. In his official opening speech, the Prime Minister reaffirmed the government’s strong commitment to enhancing private sector competitiveness and continuously improving the business environment. He emphasized the strategic importance of the B-Ready tool as a mechanism for evaluating reforms and guiding future policy direction. For his part, the representative of the World Bank’s Resident Office stated that the B-Ready report serves as a strategic lever for accelerating impactful reforms aimed at making Burundi’s business environment more attractive and competitive. #andikamagazine #writeyourownstory #Burundi #EconomicDevelopment #DevelopmentPartners #WorldBank #ADB #EconomicGrowth
