THE STANDARD By Mohamed Guleid | December 23rd 2020 at 19:19:59 GMT +0300 The Frontier Counties Development Council (FCDC) is a regional economic bloc composed of the County Governments of Lamu, Tana River, Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Marsabit, Isiolo, Turkana, Samburu and West Pokot brought together by need to enhance socio-economic development and peaceful co-existence. Over the past two years, Kenya has been celebrating important progress in efforts to realise Universal Energy Access by the government’s 2022 target, well before the Global 2030 SDG target.
