June, 25, 2025. TTWCA convened a strategic stakeholder engagement session on the Taita Taveta County Investment Policy draft.
The session brought together key voices from ranches and conservancies, which collectively account for nearly 24% of the county’s total land area. As critical stewards of the Tsavo landscape, their input is vital in shaping a policy that balances economic investment with environmental stewardship.
The draft policy, developed by The Taita Taveta County Government through the Department of Trade and the Taita Taveta Investment Corporation (TTIC), aims to enhance the ease of doing business, grow private sector investment to 20% of county GDP by 2030, and position Taita Taveta as a premier destination for both foreign and domestic direct investment (FDI and DDI).
Importantly, the policy recognizes the untapped potential in conservation areas for sustainable investment in eco-tourism, livestock production, green energy, mining, climate-smart enterprises, and nature-based value chains.
These sectors offer meaningful pathways for job creation, climate resilience, and inclusive economic growth across the county.
