Recap of KCE 2024 Some of the statistics shared during this years Kenya Cottage Expo. * 80% of the businesses in informal sectors are not registered * 70% are in wholesale retail * only 30% in micro manufacturing * Job creation depends on encouraging manufacturing of locally made products that can be prepared for export through standards and processes * micro businesses are not able to invest in the certification process that organizations like KEBS offer * Ignorance is not an excuse when it comes to regulations and tax obligations This year’s event focused on information sharing, by all institutions present. Including Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) KIRDI KRA(KENYA REVENUE AUTHORITY) The Micro and Small Enterprises Authority (MSEA) that offered invaluable knowledge and opportunities that they offer for MSMEs. We also had attendees specifically youth and youth women, from various organizations including Kibera Best Camps, Clean Start, Nairobi Chapel attend over 16 workshops and maker spaces, over the two days. That shared essential skills that they can implement in their businesses or as new skills to eke a living from. Thank you to all our sponsors, partners and individuals who made this day possible.

■ GOROKA TOWN ! EASTERN HIGHLANDS PROVINCE ! PNGUINEA ! 🇵🇬 As we travelled down from Kundiawa into Goroka town, the place seemed to be filled with vast colours from everywhere inside the township area ! What we did not know is that, as the Goroka show was approaching, the entire Eastern Highlands Province was getting prepared for this special event to be hosted in their province with visitors from out the town and out of country will be there, celebrating the event as guests during the show ! Also, there's another significant event that will be hosted nationwide ! The "Independence Anniversary!" This event normally falls in September 16th annually ! The event reminds the nation (PNG) on how independence was gained back in 1975 when our brave leaders fought hard with their lives to liberate us (the people) and this nation from our colonisers ! While we were there, we got to visit the entire area inside the township of Goroka ! The place was magnificent and peaceful ! The locals respect outsiders ! Promoting entertainment and friendly gestures to them in the town ! The experience up there was elusive ! The recent business trip up to the Highlands region of PNGuinea was, without a doubt, a rememberable one for us, the team who went up there and implemented the integrated pest management service 🚫 to the entire bsp commercial branches and their staff's residence ! ▪︎ Goroka Township !
