The Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) has signed a partnership agreement with the Camões Institute – the Portuguese Cooperation Agency – to support the ‘Gazi Bay Coastal Restoration and Eco-Tourism Initiative (G-CORE)’ in Kwale County, Kenya. “The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) remains committed to working with partners across sectors to advance climate resilience, environmental stewardship, and inclusive development across the regions it serves,” said Amin Mawji, Diplomatic Representative of the AKDN in East Africa. The visit by His Excellency Paulo Rangel, Minister of State and Foreign Affairs of the Portuguese Republic, underscores the deepening engagement between Portugal, Kenya and the Aga Khan Development Network and reflects a shared commitment to advancing sustainable development, climate resilience and inclusive economic growth. This initiative forms part of AKF’s broader Indian Ocean ‘ReGeneration’ Initiative and focuses on restoring degraded mangrove ecosystems while strengthening community livelihoods through sustainable eco-tourism.
