22. TEJATI Jobs Without Borders – Diaspora Connect

This will bridge global potential with local solutions. TEJATI Jobs Without Borders – Diaspora Connect is a critical initiative designed to harness the immense potential of the Kenyan diaspora for national development. It brings together diaspora investors, youth organizations, various ministries, global employers, and county leaders in a collaborative effort.

The core focus is on mobilizing diaspora capital and skills to support local job creation within Kenya. The event will showcase youth-led export-ready talents, highlight remittance-backed SMEs, and explore global employment pathways, making TEJATI a truly borderless opportunity framework. This initiative directly links to the broader Diaspora & Global Trade Economy, aiming to create a robust pipeline of opportunities that benefit both Kenyans at home and abroad.

The TEJATI Jobs Without Borders – Diaspora Connect event will feature dedicated sessions on diaspora investment opportunities in Kenya, particularly in the nine Transformation Economies. Success stories of diaspora-funded ventures and returnee entrepreneurs will be highlighted. Workshops will provide practical guidance on navigating investment regulations, accessing local markets, and establishing businesses in Kenya. Global employers will conduct recruitment drives for Kenyan talent, showcasing remote work opportunities and international placements. The event will also facilitate discussions on policy reforms to enhance diaspora engagement and streamline remittance flows into productive investments. This initiative aims to create a powerful synergy between the global Kenyan diaspora and local development efforts, fostering a dynamic ecosystem where talent, capital, and innovation flow freely across borders, driving sustainable job creation and economic growth for Kenya.
