Konza Technopolis’s disclosure on the BioPharma Life Sciences Park PPP Project, powering research, innovation & jobs for a healthier tomorrow #SiliconSavannah
The @ppp_kenya Directorate called for increased private-sector financing to expedite the KSh 28.4 billion Life Sciences project, thereby accelerating implementation, de-risking delivery, and anchoring Kenya’s ambition to become a regional hub for pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Happy New Year 2026!
We hope you’ve had a well-deserved and restful break. As we step into the new year, we look forward to reconnecting and building on our shared work. Here’s to a productive, innovative, and impactful year ahead.

@AmbokoJH Good point. Have you considered other external factors such as huge job cuts due to changing international development space? Might be helpful to review that.
APIFA Chief Executive Officer, Dr. @FranKKeter_, Ph.D., was a panelist in the session 'Connecting the Dots: Financing #LocalProduction Along the Value Chain.' He shared insights on innovative financing models that can help accelerate local pharmaceutical manufacturing in Africa.
Drawing from APIFA’s experience, including its instrumental role in supporting the establishment of Africa’s first Malaria API plant by @emzornigeria, @FranKKeter_ , emphasized the bold, growing willingness among local producers to move upstream... and along the value chain.
At APIFA, we continue to engage with global stakeholders—including policymakers, financial institutions, and industry leaders—to collaborate on strategies that promote health equity, resilience, and sustainable pharmaceutical manufacturing. See you in Abu Dhabi! #APIForAfrica
