Kisumu is set to take center stage as it welcomes President William Samoei Ruto to the 4th African Sub-Sovereign Network (AFSNET) Conference. Scheduled for November 25-27, 2024, this high-profile event will bring together African sub-sovereign leaders, governors, premiers, and key stakeholders at the Grand Royale Swiss Hotel.
The conference, themed “Leveraging the AfCFTA for Sustainable Trade and Investment: A Development Pathway for African Sub-Sovereigns,” will spotlight Kisumu as a premier investment destination in Africa. It aims to foster discussions on intra-African trade, investment, and sustainable development under the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
President Ruto’s attendance underscores the importance of the event, which is expected to drive impactful conversations about advancing regional trade and creating opportunities for economic growth. Organizers, including Afreximbank and the County Government of Kisumu, anticipate a strong turnout of leaders and investors from across the continent.
Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o hailed the conference as a pivotal moment for Kisumu. “This is an extraordinary opportunity for Kisumu to shine on the global map, showcasing its investment potential and positioning itself as a hub for trade and sustainable development,” said Governor Nyong’o.
The event will feature keynote addresses, panel discussions, and networking sessions, providing a platform for African sub-sovereigns to collaborate, share best practices, and attract investment to their regions.
