On Friday, Princess Zahra Aga Khan met both Kenya’s President His Excellency President William Ruto and the First Lady Rachel Ruto in Nairobi, Kenya. They explored opportunities for collaboration and mutual support in advancing various initiatives in the country. The meetings provided an opportunity to discuss the decades-long development partnership between the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) and the government of Kenya to improve the quality of life of Kenyans, and areas of future cooperation. The AKDN agencies and Kenya have closely collaborated in the fields of industry, tourism, financial services, clean energy, media, health, education, community development, and infrastructure. President Ruto recognised AKDN’s significant contributions to Kenya’s development and offered his government’s support to strengthen the collaboration. “We look forward to more collaboration in other sectors as we enhance public-private partnerships in our development agenda,” President Ruto said.
