Kenya continues to strengthen global partnerships that deliver tangible results, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi said on Thursday, during a meeting with a high-level Japanese Official Development Assistance (ODA) research delegation.
The delegation, led by Ikuina Akiko, a member of Japan’s House of Councilors Committee on Health, Welfare and Labour, is in Kenya to assess the impact of Japan-supported projects in infrastructure, health, education, energy, and agriculture.
Other delegates included Aoshma Kenta from the Committee on Land and Transport, Otsu Tsutomu from the Committee on Cabinet, and the Japanese Ambassador to Kenya, Matsuura Hiroshi.
Mudavadi said discussions focused on scaling successful initiatives and identifying new avenues for cooperation, including trade, investment, manufacturing, private sector partnerships, and sports development.
The aim, he noted, is to drive job creation, economic growth, and long-term value for Kenya.
“Kenya takes seriously Japan’s support in sectors that deliver measurable impact and strong multiplier effects, lifting communities out of poverty, strengthening healthcare and education systems, and accelerating economic growth,” Mudavadi said.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary emphasised that the government remains committed to translating international partnerships into actionable development outcomes, ensuring interventions continue to benefit Kenyan communities.
The meeting highlighted Kenya’s strategic approach to leveraging bilateral partnerships for sustainable development and inclusive economic growth.
