The KCB Foundation was established in 2007 to implement the KCB Bank Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility programmes and as a sign of commitment to sustainable development to alleviate poverty and enhance well-being.

AMSCO has partnered with the KCB Foundation to co-create Business Development Services for the 2Jiajiri programme. The object of the programme is to empower and equip unemployed and out-of-school youth to grow micro enterprises by providing them with technical skill training opportunities as well as up-skilling and certifying existing micro-entrepreneurs who wish to move their business from the informal to the formal sector.

Target Results:

  • Catalyse job and wealth creation for at least 50,000 youth engaged in the informal sector within Eastern Africa between 2016- 2020
  • Enable 10,000 entrepreneurs annually across the country to overcome barriers they face to business success by gradually formalizing the informal sector

For more information on the 2Jiajiri programme, please visit their website.
