The UNDP Resident Representative Walid Badawi and Standard Group CEO Orlando Lyomu address the media during the signing of an MOU between the two organisations to collaborate in development communication. However, amid the cold reality of the pandemic and its socio-economic effects, the Standard Group leadership and that of the United Nations Development Programme met to drive the development agenda within the country and beyond. UNDP Resident Representative Walid Badawi, who signed the document on behalf of the organization, said the UN agency was committed to working together with the media to strengthen storytelling on development and contribute to the national development agenda. Another goal of the partnership is supporting national efforts to identify and promote locally-developed innovative solutions to address Kenya's development challenges.
