AKDN IN
Kenya
Over the last century, the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN)'s many programmes and diverse institutions have helped improve the quality of life for some of the country's most resource-poor communities. An Agreement of Cooperation for Development signed with the Government of Kenya in 1996 recognises AKDN's contributions to national development and creates an enabling framework for its activities. By collaborating with Government and the private sector, AKDN has helped communities to develop their own educational standards, meet healthcare needs, and generate financial activity to enable resources to be accessed by those in greatest need.
