Upcoming Activities

 

Kenarava Group Ltd in collaboration with iAgribiz Africa is pleased to invite you to the annual Kenarava Agribusiness Dinner.

 

The theme for this year’s event Harnessing Alternative Financial Models for Food and Agricultural Transformation is informed by insights gained from an analysis that was undertaken on the landscape of Kenya’s financial initiatives – designed to support local youth in agribusiness.

 

Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need for stakeholders to come together, share and learn from each other and explore the best financial models for scale and impact.  In addition, youth are more willing to pay for financial products & services provided they perceive their value, as well as transparent and fair pricing (Financial Services for Young people, Mastercard Foundation). We believe in a FINANCIAL FUTURE that offers many opportunities to the youth.

 

As an important stakeholder with experience and  keen interest in the Agricultural sector, it is our pleasure to have you on this upcoming event on Thursday, 21st November 2019 at the Villa Rosa Kempinski Hotel, Nairobi from 6:00 PM to 10:30 PM.

 

We have put together an insightful program below. This event gives you, the youth and women the opportunity to share, learn and explore linkages with other youth, women in agribusiness and other like-minded organization in the Agribusiness Sector.
