Kenya is set to benefit from an additional Ksh7.8-billion-shilling ($78 million) grant from the European Union (EU) that will go towards addressing the socio-economic impact of Covid-19 in the country.

The funding, which adds to an earlier Ksh8.4 billion ($84 million), will go towards helping Kenyans at risk of hunger and further strengthen State measures against spread of the pandemic.
