We expect that by the time our framework is concluded by the end of the year we will guide the way to ensure local players have more capacity, have access to information on opportunities in the sector and can get finance so as to participate in sectors with huge capital needed such as oil and gas,\u201d said PS Ministry of trade and cooperatives Betty Maina.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2xeo8BNkw_E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n\u201cThis framework will equip counties with the needed guidelines towards putting in place adequate policy, regulatory and governance structures to foster county-level MSME development within the emerging economic sectors especially oil and gas. Following the launch of this framework it is my hope that the national and county governments will provide the enabling environment needed for its implementation, \u201d says KNCCI chairman, Kiprono Kittony.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/culN9B1L8GI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The framework further identifies potential policy interventions needed at the county level but also highlights the opportunities and challenges policymakers may face in their execution. Among the four priority areas identified include: establishment of enterprise centers, access to electricity, access to water and access to telecommunications and computer services. Of the four the framework terms the establishment of enterprise centers as the number one priority key issue going from the experience of both Angola and Chad. To establish and operate enterprise centers a minimum consensus must be generated among stakeholders and achievement of this action directly feeds into the process of implementing the second action access to electricity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCounties must also create mechanisms that will allow and improve the flow of information on the various opportunities available for MSME\u2019s as the sector has kept many willing investors away due to technical jargon and com\u00adplicated business processes.\u201d commented Kenya Chamber of Commerce &amp; Industry CEO, Angela Ndambuki.<\/p>\n<p>The development of this framework follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding between KNCCI and K-Expro earlier this year where the KNCCI project technical team would develop a framework that elaborated how the MSME sector can play a role in the oil and gas supply chain at the county level. The team was also tasked with identifying and supporting the operationalization of the needed building blocks at county level to support the development of MSMEs.<\/p>\n<p>KNCCI will now host a workshop in Turkana to engage the relevant county-level stakeholders and professionals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kenya National Chamber of Commerce &amp;
