TradeSmart Consult Ltd, in partnership with CSI International, successfully facilitated an Inception Workshop for the development of the Diocesan Energy Sustainability Strategy for the Catholic Diocese of Lodwar, with support from Horizont3000.

Held at St Theresa Pastoral Centre, the workshop brought together participants from Catholic Church-run institutions across Lodwar, including health centres, schools, TVETs, and development programmes, to provide critical input into the strategy development process.

The engagement created a collaborative platform for stakeholders to discuss current energy challenges, explore renewable energy opportunities, and contribute practical solutions towards building resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective energy systems for church institutions in the region. Discussions also covered energy audits, funding options, operations and maintenance, partnerships, and long-term sustainability approaches.

At TradeSmart, we are proud to continue expanding our work in the energy and environment space as part of our growth strategy, supporting institutions and communities to transition towards sustainable energy solutions with lasting social impact.

We appreciate the partnership and support from Horizont3000, the Catholic Diocese of Lodwar, and CSI International, as well as the active participation of all stakeholders who contributed valuable insights during the workshop.

📍 On the Ground in Lodwar – Listening First, Building Right

As part of our ongoing assignment with horizont3000, TradeSmart Consult Ltd—together with our joint venture partner CSI International Limited—is on the ground in Lodwar for a critical stakeholder engagement mission.

This is where strategy meets reality.

We are engaging with diocesan leadership, technical teams, community representatives, and local partners to understand:
⚡ Current energy needs and gaps
🌍 Climate and environmental priorities
👥 Community realities and opportunities
🔧 Practical challenges in maintaining energy systems

Because let’s be honest—no energy strategy works if it’s designed in a boardroom in Nairobi and dumped on Lodwar.

These conversations are shaping the Diocesan Energy Sustainability Strategy (DESS) into something that is:
✔️ Grounded in real needs
✔️ Inclusive and gender-responsive
✔️ Practical, scalable, and sustainable

From renewable energy planning to long-term financing and maintenance models, this process is about building solutions that will actually work—long after the consultants have left.

This is also part of TradeSmart’s growing focus on energy and environmental sustainability—moving from talk to implementation, from theory to impact.

More to come from the field.

Kenya, Mauritius deepen trade ties as AfCFTA push gains momentum with TradeSmart facilitation 🇰🇪🤝🇲🇺

TradeSmart today, 27th April 2026, facilitated a high-level Kenya–Mauritius business engagement, with activities continuing on 28th April 2026, aimed at strengthening intra-African trade under the AfCFTA framework.

The engagement held at Mercure Hotel Upper Hill Nairobi, has brought together 23 Mauritian companies and Kenyan private sector players for structured B2B matchmaking sessions focused on unlocking practical trade and investment opportunities across manufacturing, agro-processing, logistics, financial services, and consumer goods.

The forum has convened senior government and institutional representatives from both countries, including officials from Kenya’s State Department for Trade and Investment and the Mauritius Export Development Board, alongside private sector leaders driving regional expansion and market access.

TradeSmart Executive Director, Dr Rose Ronoh, noted that the engagement reflects a shift from dialogue to ex*****on, emphasizing that Africa’s trade transformation will be measured by the number of deals concluded, not the number of meetings held.

Kenya’s Principal Secretary for Trade, Ms Regina Ombam, who was represented at the forum, reaffirmed government commitment to AfCFTA implementation, noting that the agreement presents a transformative opportunity to expand market access for African businesses, MSMEs, women and youth.

The Mauritian delegation emphasized Mauritius’ strategic positioning as a trade and investment gateway between Africa and global markets, highlighting the importance of stronger partnerships with Kenya in deepening regional value chains.

The engagement also underscored the growing strategic alignment between Kenya and Mauritius within the Indian Ocean trade corridor, with both countries seeking to enhance trade facilitation, investment flows, and private sector-led growth.

Several companies have already moved into advanced commercial discussions, including distributorship arrangements, joint ventures, and structured market entry pathways—signaling early traction toward real deals emerging from the engagement.

As the mission continues into 28th April, the focus remains on converting conversations into contracts and strengthening Africa’s internal trade ecosystem.

At TradeSmart, we are proud of our Executive Director, Rose Ronoh, for her continued leadership in shaping investment policy across Africa.

Dr. Ronoh recently supported the Federal Government of Somalia in the development of its Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) Model, working closely with the Ministry of Planning, Investment and Economic Development (MoPIED) and SOMINVEST.

During a two-day technical consultation workshop held at Jazeera Hotel, she led key discussions on:

The latest Women, Business and the Law report by the World Bank Group delivers a sobering reality check — especially for Africa.

Across 190 economies, women have just 64% of the legal rights men enjoy — and in many cases, only a fraction of these rights are actually enforced.

In African markets, the gap between policy and implementation remains one of the biggest barriers to inclusive trade and enterprise growth.

🔍 Key takeaways for Africa:

• Implementation is the real bottleneck
Legal reforms exist, but enforcement systems and institutional capacity lag behind.

• Entrepreneurship without scale
Women are starting businesses — but face systemic barriers in accessing finance, markets, and procurement opportunities.

• Time poverty is an economic constraint
Unpaid care work continues to limit women’s participation and leadership in business.

• Support systems remain weak
Childcare, safety, and mobility frameworks — critical for economic inclusion — are still underdeveloped.

💡 What this means for trade and investment:

Gender equality is not just a social issue — it is a core economic growth strategy. Closing these gaps could unlock significant productivity and market expansion across the continent.

At TradeSmart, we see this as a call to action:
Bridging market access gaps, strengthening SME competitiveness, and enabling inclusive trade systems are not optional — they are essential for Africa’s economic future.

🚀 Proud Moment for TradeSmart!

Today, we had the honor of supporting the launch of the Logistics Study Report for Kenya’s Manufacturing Sector, held at the Nairobi Serena Hotel.

As the lead consultants behind this study, TradeSmart worked closely with the Kenya Association of Manufacturers to deliver insights that will help shape a more efficient, competitive, and resilient manufacturing ecosystem in Kenya.

This important initiative was made possible through the support of TradeMark Africa, whose continued commitment to strengthening trade systems across the region is driving real impact.

The event was graced by Chief Guest Dr. Juma Mukhwana, Principal Secretary, State Department for Industry, whose remarks emphasized the critical role of logistics efficiency in unlocking Kenya’s industrial growth.

The report highlights key logistics challenges and presents actionable recommendations to unlock growth for manufacturers—especially SMEs—by improving supply chains, reducing costs, and enhancing regional trade competitiveness.

👏 It was great to see strong participation from government, private sector leaders, and development partners, all aligned on one goal: building a stronger manufacturing sector for Kenya.
