Ministry of Labour working with the Chinese Govt

“During the launch of the joint project between Kenya, China and the International Labor Organization (ILO), I commended the efforts of our government to ensure equal rights and benefits for all workers , regardless of their category,” Mutua said.

“The informal sector is the backbone of Kenya’s economy and employs a large proportion of our workforce. However, due to limited social protection mechanisms, many informal workers are trapped in change in poverty, vulnerability and social exclusion. “.Our goal, as per the CS, is to change this narrative by developing a comprehensive framework that extends social protection to informal workers and uses digital transformation to bring more people under the safety net. Important steps are taken to ensure better data collection for the most vulnerable, including Kenyan workers in the informal sector.
