The Nyanza Economic Conference will take place on 7-8 August 2008 at the Maseno University Kisumu Hotel.
The conference has been organized by the Nyanza Economic Forum, a non-partisan network of individuals, groups and organizations established to find strategic solutions to the social and economic challenges impeding Nyanza province.
The 2008 Nyanza Economic Conference aims to provide a unique platform for projecting practical pathways for elevating the region into an investment hub.
The recent launch of vision 2030 by the Government of Kenya and the infrastructural improvement set to commence in Nyanza, makes the region a prime investment destination.
The Nyanza Economic Conference intends to attract participation from investors, development partners, government and individuals from the region to enable them to reap maximum benefits from the available opportunities.
The dream of every Kenyan of living a quality life and having economic success as enshrined in the GOK Vision 2030 motivated the members of Nyanza Economic Forum to play a role in ensuring that the region plays its role in achieving these noble national goals.
The Conference will put the spotlight on Nyanza province as a frontier for a diversity of investments. Being the third largest city in Kenya, Kisumu City is the economic center for western Kenya which offers enormous investment opportunities that seems to have been underutilized since independence.
Such areas include:
1) Finance,
2) Agriculture,
3) ICT,
4) Agro-processing,
5) Dairy,
6) Aqua-culture,
7) Mining,
Hospitality,
9) Entertainment,
10) education,
11) Health,
12) water sports,
13) Media,
14) Real estate,
15) Manufacturing, etc.
Delegates are to be drawn from entrepreneurs and professionals, development partners, investors and government.

I appeal to all luos to join hands and let us build our REGION.
To much politics will not put food at the table, it is hard-work and engaging the community to get Jembes and make wealth.
What a mighty a idea ? Can someone give me more information about this group ?
I am comming makata koth ema ochwee.
Luos for years have been subjected alienated economically by the government, now that wuod Oganda omak wi thiang’ we must show Kenyans that we are not just josiasa or professional but we
can as well compete economically through hard working.
Majimbo-Nyanza editor, you have made me home sick.
What a pictorsque view of Kisumu City and Royale Hotel.
I wish could make it. Please, Fracisca and Judy keep us in touch. I would want to participate in future.
May God bless home.
It has come at the right time when all luos have seen our failures.It is true the government has been out to frustrate us since independence. But our reaction to the frustration has been low level in the sense that no positive action from our people has been noticed.
History will judge us very harshly because we fail to turn frustration by the government as a motivator to overcome challenges as the jews,and other minorities who have gone through
discrimination like luos in kenya.We had the most educated people in kenya at one time. They
never utilised their education to overcome our problems.
Now,the all kenyans are laughing at us because our education is the lowest in the country a part from North Eastern.The eduacted luos we have do not care about their own people.They just care about their own family.
Though it is not late,we should all attend this meeting with open mind. Let us look critically
where we have failed and make a practical solutions.Again ,we should not include politicains at this stage because they always
look for their individual benefits.
Luos in diaspora will be very interested to be part of the participants from initial stage.Therefore,while discusing the agenda,you should create a department for them.You must
include them .
We all support the iniator. Keep it up.
have never seen such wonderful event in any of the cities in Kenya,kindly keep it up, its doing to be well done job.how is the requirements to attend?we wish to be there.
Folks,
Good job well done! have my blessings and keep me informed.
Good Luck!!!
