Kenya’s frontier counties are set to benefit from a new strategic collaboration between the Future Growth Forum (FGF) and the Frontier Counties Development Council (FCDC) following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding.
The partnership signals a major step toward inclusive and sustainable growth in some of the country’s most underserved regions.
The agreement seeks to open up trade, investment, and innovation opportunities by positioning the frontier counties as active players in both national and global markets.
It will focus on strengthening local institutions, enhancing the capacity of county governments, and promoting resilience in the face of development challenges.
Through joint initiatives in policy advocacy, research, investment promotion, and international engagement, the partnership aims to amplify the voice of frontier counties on the regional and global stage.
The collaboration will also work to showcase the potential of the region, attracting investors and partners while ensuring that local communities are fully involved in the development journey.
By combining FGF’s expertise in growth-focused initiatives with FCDC’s deep understanding of frontier counties, the partnership underscores a shared commitment to bridging economic disparities and ensuring that no region is left behind in Kenya’s progress.
It represents a new chapter for northern Kenya, with the promise of stronger communities, better opportunities, and greater integration into the country’s overall development agenda.
