KISUMU – Kisumu’s future is anchored on the lake. That is the bold vision driving the county’s transformation as it repositions the city to face Lake Victoria—not as a backdrop, but as a dynamic front for growth.
“Our vision is to reposition the city to face the lake, not as a backdrop, but as a dynamic front for growth, opening up opportunities in trade, tourism, fisheries, and investment, while creating jobs and improving livelihoods for our people.”
This vision is now being translated into concrete action through strategic investments, international partnerships, and a firm commitment to building a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable blue economy.
