Financial Sector Deepening Kenya (FSD Kenya) collaborates with the Government of Kenya across key priority areas, including green and climate financing, financial inclusion, financial sector development, public finance reforms, capital markets deepening, digital finance, and SME and private sector financing.
Through the Climate Finance and Green Economy Unit, the National Treasury will work with FSD Kenya to mobilise sustainable finance and reinforce Kenya’s leadership in green and climate action, youth empowerment and financial innovation.
I welcomed the new Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Rashmi Pillai, to the National Treasury and discussed further strengthening our partnership going forward, placing particular emphasis on technical capacity building for carbon credit trading.
I also expressed my appreciation to the outgoing CEO, Tamara Cook, who has served FSD Kenya with distinction since 2019.

While geothermal energy does have some drawbacks, the benefits far outweigh the costs, particularly for Africa, argues @MangaMugwe. https://t.co/jgBTsLJ5oc
Geothermal could go a long way toward enabling Africa to deliver reliable baseload electricity, notes @MangaMugwe. And the benefits don't end there. https://t.co/jgBTsLJ5oc
