This week, CoELIB was proud to be part of a 3-day Inclusive Entrepreneurship Curriculum Validation Workshop in Nakuru, bringing together trainers, facilitators, hub leaders, and ecosystem actors from Nakuru, Kisumu, and Uasin Gishu counties.

The living curriculum brings together a 6-theme, 15-module framework and a Training of Trainers Toolkit designed for the real business realities entrepreneurs face on the ground.

This Easter, we are reminded that renewal is not just a season—it is a mindset.

At CoELIB, we see the spirit of Easter reflected in every idea reborn, every human being who rises after setbacks, and every community that chooses hope over uncertainty. Just as Easter symbolises new life, we remain committed to nurturing innovation, empowering communities, and transforming knowledge into impact across Africa.

May this season inspire us to reimagine possibilities, strengthen collaboration, and continue building solutions that uplift lives and drive sustainable change.

Happy Easter! 🌱✨
Renew. Rise. Reimagine.

How might we build knowledge resources that inclusively integrate regenerative agriculture (RA) and productive use of renewable energy (PURE) aspects and address cross-cutting dynamics that affect the translation into impact?

In picture: Proceedings of the RA–PURE Nexus Training Manual write-shop held in Nakuru on 23rd and 24th March, 2026, bringing together key stakeholders to co-develop a standardised training foundation for the Power for Food Partnership mission.

During the write-shop the County Government of Nakuru worked alongside the Power for Food Partnership team across both days to shape a knowledge resource that will ultimately empower smallholder farmers.

CoELIB continues to pilot, scale and sustain inclusive and need-based knowledge resources that solve pressing needs while increasing agricultural productivity and resilience.
