MSEA Takes Center Stage in Empowering MSMEs at Innovation Symposium
At the recently concluded 7th Series of the Innovation and Pipeline Symposium 2024, held in Eldoret town, the Micro and Small Enterprises Authority (MSEA) emerged as a beacon of support for the MSMEs sector.
Themed “Empowering the MSMEs Sector through Training and Certification,” the event saw MSEA showcasing its extensive initiatives aimed at bolstering the growth and sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises.
Representing MSEA’s CEO, Mr. Henry Rithaa, the North Rift Regional Coordinator, CPA Alton Kipchoge Kogo, took the stage to detail the Authority’s strategic interventions. Among these initiatives, market access opportunities took center stage, highlighting MSEA’s commitment to providing avenues for MSMEs to reach broader markets.
Furthermore, Kogo emphasized MSEA’s dedication to capacity building and training through collaborative efforts with other agencies. This partnership approach ensures that MSMEs receive comprehensive support tailored to their specific needs, enhancing their competitiveness in the market.
Another key aspect highlighted was the availability of decent and affordable working sites and CIDCs (County Industrial Development Centers). MSEA’s efforts in this area aim to address infrastructure challenges faced by MSMEs, thereby creating conducive environments for business growth and development.
Registration was also emphasized as a crucial aspect of MSEA’s support strategy. By facilitating the registration process for MSMEs, the Authority aims to formalize their operations, granting them access to various benefits and opportunities within the business ecosystem.
The symposium served as a platform for stakeholders to exchange ideas, best practices, and innovative solutions for the advancement of the MSMEs sector. MSEA’s active participation underscored its commitment to driving sustainable growth and economic empowerment at the grassroots level.
In conclusion, MSEA’s proactive approach towards empowering MSMEs reflects a concerted effort to nurture entrepreneurship and foster economic development across the country. As the Authority continues to implement these strategic initiatives, the future looks promising for the vibrant and dynamic MSMEs sector in Kenya.
