Unemployment has become one of the greatest challenges facing Kenya and the globe. And with Covid-19 accelerating job losses by disrupting value creation and delivery channels, about 30 million people will be pushed to abject poverty globally.
The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics report indicates that about 1.7 million people have lost their jobs due to the pandemic, with a likelihood of Covid-19 related recession cutting more jobs.
This is an addition to the 2.4 million who were unemployed before Covid-19 crises - most of them youths aged between 18 and 35 years. While various policies and strategies such as skills development, funding and internship have been cited as the solution to unemployment, value creation is the key foundation of job creation.

The value of buildings approved for construction by the County Government of Nairobi last year declined by Sh54 billion as investors scared by the pandemic took a wait-and-see approach, data from the national statistician shows.
This was a drop of slightly over a quarter to Sh153.6 billion compared to buildings worth Sh207.6 billion that were approved by the county the previous year, according to data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS).
Commercial buildings - such as offices, retail stores, factories and restaurants - recorded the highest decline of 42.6 per cent, or Sh33 billion, compared to 21 per cent for the residential buildings.
