@LBDAgov , @SafaricomFDN and @USTADI_Fndtn are happy to share that the Wezesha Agri-Eco Hub is creating impact beyond the youth it trains by strengthening the local vegetable value chain. Through climate-smart irrigated vegetable production, the Hub provides a reliable, year-round supply of vegetables to approximately 10 regular traders, with demand increasing during the dry season.

This morning marks a significant operational milestone for the Wire Forest Management Association (WIFOMA) as the farmers and key stakeholders convene at Wire Forest Station for the official reception of the inaugural 200-hive consignment from the @LBDAgov.

The signs of a promising harvest are now evident across the rice fields of Kimira-Oluch Irrigation Scheme in Homabay Couny. The well-filled panicles and healthy crop stand are a testament to the hard work of our farmers and the impact of strategic investments in irrigation and agricultural support.
As we edge closer to harvest, we remain confident of increased yields that will enhance household incomes, strengthen food security, and contribute to the growth of the rice value chain in the Lake Region. Through continued support to farmers, Lake Basin Development Authority is advancing sustainable agriculture and delivering on the Governmentโs Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).

Today, Regional Development Authorities (RDAs) held a strategic engagement with Principal Secretary Caroline Karugu to provide updates on our programmes, achievements, and priorities aimed at accelerating regional development.

Ministry of Health officials led by Director of Clinical Services, Dr. Andrew Toro, receives a briefing from the paediatric team at JOOTRH ahead of the hospital's groundbreaking neonatal peritoneal dialysis procedure on a 17-day-old infant
The successful procedure marks a major milestone in specialized neonatal and paediatric care, strengthening access to life-saving treatment and improving survival outcomes for critically ill newborns in the region.
Every tree sequesters carbon. Every wetland sustains a community. Every species restored is a future secured.
At LBDA, we don't just manage the basin โ we breathe life back into it.
Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay 2026!

@CarrenAgengo the PS for @ChildServicesKE, accompanied by PS for @Trade_Kenya, Regina Ombam, today flagged off Bulk Milk Coolers at Muhoroni, officially handing over 1,000-litre capacity coolers to the Authority's Muhoroni Integrated Technology Transfer Centre (ITTC) through the Board Chairman, Mr. James Waore Diang'a.
This strategic initiative is designed to strengthen the region's Livestock Value Chain by enhancing milk preservation, reducing post-harvest losses, increasing milk supply, and improving earnings for dairy farmers.
The Lake Basin Development Authority (LBDA) remains steadfast in its mandate to drive inclusive socio-economic development across the region through targeted, impactful interventions.

Public service, for me, is a conscious commitment to impact lives, shaped by experience in both private and public sectors.
It is demanding work defined by persistence, responsibility and purpose, where progress often comes after sustained effort against doubt and resistance.
I have also learned that leadership is not only about delivery but about people; safeguarding mental wellbeing, staying grounded in healthy habits and remaining connected to communities, especially the youth and emerging leaders.
Ultimately, setbacks are part of the journey, and it helps to remember that challenges are shared experiences, not personal isolation.
