The engagement meeting was chaired by Raphael Waweru, Chair – KNCCI PWD Committee, and attended by Eileen Kemunto, Member – PWD Committee.

The JGP delegation was led by Program Manager Daniel Biketi, who engaged the broader JGP HQ team in substantive discussions focused on operationalizing inclusive mobilization frameworks, institutional readiness, and compliance requirements.

This collaboration is anchored on JGP’s renewed strategic focus on women, PWDs, and refugees.

It seeks to position KNCCI as the de facto Business Membership Organization (BMO) for structured, credible, and compliant mobilization of PWD-led MSMEs across the country, leveraging existing institutional partnerships and regulatory frameworks.

As underscored during the meeting, “Inclusion must be intentional, structured, and compliant.”

The overarching objective is not only to achieve program targets, but to institutionalize best practice in disability inclusion within KNCCI and across the wider BMO ecosystem.
