CGM focuses on fostering inclusive economic growth where environmental stewardship and health are embedded as core values, preventing trade-offs between development and sustainability. CGM focuses on micro-level growth, looking at agriculture and small enterprises led by youth as key determinants of economic development. However, our focus on farmers extends to 45 years of age because of the demographics of farming in Kenya and cross generational learning. CGM perceives this to be the best point to achieve greater as this group represents the largest carbon footprint and potential towards the national objectives of industrialization.
