The Story Behind
Kenya's Transformation
A multi-agency public-private framework designed to radically transform Kenya's national economy.
Transforming Untapped Potential Into Productive Opportunity
KRETI is a multi-agency, public-private partnership framework designed to radically transform Kenya's national economy by actively engaging the youthful population in highly productive, mechanized commercial agribusiness.
A Productive, Food-Secure and Economically Transformed Kenya
KRETI envisions a Kenya where youthful human capital drives commercial agricultural production, where idle public infrastructure becomes productive economic assets, and where Kenyan products reach regional and global markets.
Addressing Interconnected Challenges
KRETI seeks to address interconnected challenges including youth unemployment, food insecurity, underutilized human capital, dependence on imported processed food products, idle public infrastructure and rural-urban economic imbalances.
Putting Young Kenyans at the Center of Production
KRETI proposes a data-driven framework for identifying, training and absorbing unemployed certificate, diploma and degree holders into productive agribusiness roles.
