This week, the EDIC-Pwani team, led by Executive Director John Kashangaki, engaged with Hon. Raymond Ngala, CEC Member for Trade, Tourism and Cooperative Development, Kilifi County Government and his team, to explore priority sectors for investment and opportunities for collaboration.

Discussions highlighted strong potential across tourism, mining, the blue economy, and agro-processing. Importantly, the presence of existing pre-feasibility studies signals a clear pathway to move these opportunities toward bankability through structured support, financial modelling, and targeted investor outreach.

A key development is the establishment of the Kilifi County Investment and Development Corporation (KCIDC), which will serve as a central platform for investor engagement and partnership. This creates a timely opportunity to strengthen coordination and accelerate the translation of high-potential ideas into investable projects.

EDIC looks forward to working closely with Kilifi County Government to provide technical expertise and support the advancement of these priority initiatives.
