KIC organises a Media Roundtable and shares its youth transformation agenda with the media

On 15th March, 2024, KIC organised a Media Round Table with selected media from across different media houses. The media interacted with the Executive Director and Management Team of KIC.

The media roundtable created a platform for KIC and KIC Businesses to interact with the media, highlighting and showing the impact of KIC and its partners in creating social transformation for young people. There was an introduction of KIC and its program portfolio. There was also a Q & A Session where KIC had the opportunity to expatiate further on some of its programs.

Speaking at the engagement, Benjamin Gyan-Kesse, the Executive Director for KIC said: “At KIC, our multi-stakeholder partnerships approach to deliver consistent programs complement formal education already received. We have also introduced programming for young people within the informal sector, because we believe in leaving no one behind when it comes to job creation for young people within the agricultural sector.

“I am very happy about this media interaction, not only because I am passionate about agriculture, agribusiness and agritech, but also because I believe that young people can bring their skills and know-how in technology to transform the sector to bring about increased productivity and food security and take climate action through innovation, “he added.

The media engagement is part of KIC’s media relations strategy to promote collaboration with the media.
