Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya has said that transforming the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector is a top priority for the government.
The CS, who was speaking during the official launch of the Kenya Public-Private Sector MSME Dialogue, MSME Connect, stated that the sector makes a significant contribution to the economy.
He noted that MSMEs continue to face major challenges, including high informality, limited access to finance, low productivity, and the growing impact of climate change. To address these barriers, the CS underscored the need for synergy among stakeholders to scale up and grow the sector.
Oparanya said the initiative marks a new era of collaboration between the government and the private sector, recognizing the private sector as a key driver in promoting MSME growth.
MSME Connect will be rolled out across all counties, providing a platform for dialogue between stakeholders working to support the sector.
Oparanya called on all actors to actively participate in fostering tangible change and encouraged MSMEs to engage in the discussions.
