The 2025 Devolution Conference has brought together leaders, innovators, and stakeholders from across Kenya to Homa Bay County for a week of dialogue, collaboration, and visionary planning. This year’s theme focuses on strengthening county governance, promoting sustainable development, and fostering partnerships that uplift communities. Homa Bay, with its rich cultural heritage and strategic location along the shores of Lake Victoria, provides an ideal backdrop for discussing transformative policies in health, education, infrastructure, technology, and the blue economy. The conference serves as a platform for counties to showcase their progress, share best practices, and address emerging challenges in the devolved system of governance. As discussions unfold, the emphasis remains on ensuring that devolution delivers on its promise: empowering local communities, enhancing service delivery, and promoting inclusive economic growth across all 47 counties.
