President William Ruto will hold talks with World Bank Group’s private sector lending arm’s managing director Makhtar Diop on Friday, to explore ways Kenya can tap into a $6 billion (Sh726 billion) global fund to tackle food insecurity.

The International Finance Corporation (IFC) said the high-powered talks in Nairobi, which will also be attended by corporate chiefs, will focus on funding options for building a “more sustainable and productive agriculture sector”.
