Objective of the KJET Project
The KJET Project aims to address barriers to job creation and the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). It seeks to resolve issues such as costly regulatory frameworks, limited foreign investment, and inadequate green financing solutions.
The KJET Project includes key initiatives such as the development of a One-Start-One-Stop (OSOS) digital platform aimed at streamlining business regulations and attracting foreign investment.
Another critical component is the establishment of a Green Investment Fund (GIF) designed to mobilize private capital for SMEs that adopt climate-resilient technologies in sectors like clean energy, sustainable agriculture, and waste management.
The project aims to create 45,000 jobs, including 6,800 specifically for women, by enhancing employment opportunities in Kenya and the broader East African Community.
To support the implementation of the KJET Project, the Ministry of Investment, Trade, and Industry is recruiting specialists for various roles, including Project Director, Financial Management Specialist, Project Accountant, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Specialist, Communications Specialist, Environmental and Social Risk Management (ESRM) Specialist, and Legal Specialist.
Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the ministries’ websites for detailed application procedures before the specified deadline.
