Our story
A movement built around enterprise owners.

We champion and defend their rights, strengthen their collective influence and advocate for a favourable environment for growth and transformation.
The Kenya chapter was established in 1995 and is affiliated with CMSEO–EA, the regional apex umbrella body established in 1994 to represent the interests of the informal economic sector across East Africa.
An environment where enterprises can flourish.
We advance effective and inclusive governance approaches that support the sustainable growth and prosperity of micro and small enterprises.
