KNCCI continues to champion the growth and sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through strategic partnerships. Today, KNCCI President Dr. Erick Rutto hosted a delegation from Equity Bank to evaluate the progress of the Equity-KNCCI MSME Program and explore further opportunities to support MSMEs.

The meeting, attended by Director Steve Mbugua, CEO Ahmed Farah, HSC, CEO Mathew Maiyo, HoD Programs & Partnerships, and Equity Bank’s MSME Department, focused on assessing the program’s impact and identifying key areas for enhancement.

Key Resolutions & Next Steps

📌 MSME Sensitization Forums: Two targeted forums will be held in Isiolo and Uasin Gishu before the end of March. These will serve as a Proof of Concept before rolling out the initiative across all 47 counties.

📌 Financial & Non-Financial Support: The forums will introduce MSMEs to Equity Bank’s tailored solutions, offering crucial financial services and business development opportunities designed for KNCCI members.

📌 Commitment to Business Growth: By leveraging partnerships with financial institutions like Equity Bank, KNCCI continues to enhance access to capital, capacity-building, and market linkages—ensuring MSMEs have the resources they need to thrive.
