For the past half century, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) has been partnering with Kenya to address Kenya’s humanitarian and developmental needs. A guiding thread of past and present programmes of the Swiss Cooperation has been to address some of the mentioned fragility factors while leveraging on the comparative advantages of Kenya. And so we find the establishment of training centres such as the Kenya Utalii College for Hospitality and Tourism. For the Covid-19 response, the Swiss Development Cooperation is part and parcel of the National Business Compact Coalition. And Kenya might emerge stronger than before if it succeeds in maximizing its clout as a regional hub and as a pivot for creative entrepreneurship.
