Introduction

The Kenyan diaspora community plays a key role in Kenya’s social economic development not only through remittance inflows but also through skills and knowledge transfer. The Daring Returnees Forum 2024 celebrates their bold decision to return and reintegrate into the Kenyan system, contributing to various sectors of the economy. Organized by Chams Media in collaboration with Chams Adventures, this forum provides a platform to share experiences, insights, and foster connections among returnees, Kenyans who are still living abroad, policymakers, and the business community among others

About the Event

Chams Media has been highlighting the experiences of Kenyans abroad and returnees for the past 10 years. The Daring Returnees Forum , aims to delve deeper into their impact back home with special attention to returnees. The forum will feature presentations, panel discussions, and exhibitions focusing on how returnees have leveraged their skills to benefit Kenya’s socio-economic landscape. Attendees will gain insights into the challenges and opportunities of reintegration.
