[Photo|William Kingi]The Jumuiya ya Kaunti za Pwani research team and a team of FAO researchers held a workshop at the Pwani University on September 7-8, 2017.The workshop aimed to review the draft Jumuiya economic blue print for four sectors; Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries/blue economy and Health. For the past the months, Mombasa Deputy Governor Dr William Kingi said, the team has been working in the six counties of the coast region to gather, collate and analyse data. "They then burnt the midnight oil drawing conclusions and making recommendations which I trust will play a significant part in the socio-economic transformation of the Jumuiya," he said, after the workshop, September 10.As a county, Kingi said the initiative would offer immense opportunities to realise full potential through coordinated cooperation with the neighbouring coastal counties and ultimately catapult Mombass to the actualization of Mombasa Vision 2035."I wish to thank FAO for their continued support," he added.
