The MSEA Kisii Office, in collaboration with Social Protection Services, conducted a sensitization session for members of the Mwamogusii Self Help Group in Kisii County to equip them with knowledge on business formalization, government opportunities, and programs that support MSEs.
During the session, members were encouraged to formalize their businesses through registration to enable them access benefits such as government tenders, financial support, training, and other enterprise development opportunities.
Participants were also informed about opportunities under the Affordable Housing Program and how artisans, suppliers, and small businesses can benefit by positioning themselves to participate in the projects.
The team further highlighted key government initiatives including the Kenya Jobs and Economic Transformation (KJET) project and the NYOTA Program, which support entrepreneurs through training, mentorship, and access to business opportunities.
Members were also introduced to the role of County Industrial Development Centres (CIDCs), which provide affordable workspaces, access to machinery, and capacity-building support for small enterprises.
The session was interactive, with members actively engaging through questions and sharing their business experiences while gaining clarity on registration processes and how to access available support programs.
