KAM and @Trade_Kenya are today and tomorrow hosting a training on Kenya #TradeRemedies Act and the #TradeRemedies Agency. The Agency is mandated to assist Kenya in investigating and responding to dumping, subsidization and surge of imports into the country.
The manufacturing sector will have to prepare itself to be able to provide evidence based claims to test the #TradeRemedies Act - KAM Chairman @GudkaSachen
It is imperative that we keep on monitoring and ensuring that our enterprises remain competitive at local, regional and international markets - Secretary of trade, Dr. Joyce Ogundo
It is critical that domestic industries are cushioned from dumping and other unfair trade practices. This is what the Trade Remedies Act and Agency seek to achieve - Secretary of trade, Dr. Joyce Ogundo
It has been a great afternoon recapping the outcomes of the First Ever Women in Manufacturing Research in Kenya #WIMKe
The #WIMReport launched earlier this month, provides viable solutions to the challenges facing Women in Manufacturing
Women face unique challenges that hinder them from entering the sector. This is why we continue to advocate for an inclusive manufacturing sector, through the establishment of policies that encourage women to be key players in value and supply chains - KAM CEO @PhyllisWakiaga
In a forum hosted by @ICRWAfrica to discuss the #WIMReport, KAM CEO @PhyllisWakiaga noted, 'Women are sidelined in the sector, with majority of industries being predominantly male-owned & staffed. Only 3 out of the 14 sectors have a female workforce of 40% & above.'
PS @IndustryKE, @DrFrancisOwino - Climate change affects all sectors of the economy. Industry relies on infrastructure & services, such as water, waste, energy & transport, & are vulnerable to disruptions caused by climate change.
PS @IndustryKE, @DrFrancisOwino - There is an emerging global consensus that the traditional linear manufacturing model is no longer sustainable. We need to collectively transition to the circular economy model.
PS @IndustryKE, @DrFrancisOwino - Planning for Green Growth & climate change adaptation & mitigation in the manufacturing sector needs to adopt a holistic, multi-sectoral approach.
KAM Head of Policy Research and Advocacy, @wanjohijb is currently speaking on how to build a resilient export sector amidst the #COVID19 pandemic, hosted by @MakeItKenya.
KAM Head of Policy Research and Advocacy, @wanjohijb - To build the resilience for our export sector, we need to take advantage of the opportunities presented by low-hanging fruits in the economy and supply to the export markets.
KAM Head of Policy Research and Advocacy, @wanjohijb - To encourage SMEs to venture into the export markets, we should put in place capacity-building programmes that focus skills development, access to finance, governance & market access.
Illicit trade has a detrimental impact on the substantial growth of legitimate business in the country. It negatively impacts on our economy and has proven hazardous to the health and safety of Kenyans.

Chief Justice @dkmaraga also launched the virtual training of judges and magistrates on the protection of intellectual property and enforcement against the various forms of illicit trade.
