The National Value Chain Development Project (NAVCDP) led by the County Project Coordinator Charles Aluda convened a consultative meeting with leaders of the Community Driven Development Committees (CDDCs) and Social Accountability Integrity Committees (SAICs) across the County.
The meeting was focused on the progress of Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs), Common Interest Groups (CIGs) and Vulnerable and Marginilized Groups (VMGs).
