NAIROBI, Kenya, July 26 – Courier service provider Glovo has partnered with the Nairobi County government to train courier personnel on safety standards.
The exercise, dubbed ‘the Catalyst Project’ is set to witness the training of 150 couriers within Nairobi.
Of the number, 50 are drawn from Glovo, while the rest are drawn from the Nairobi city council.
“Through this transformative initiative, we aim to empower couriers with the knowledge and expertise needed to excel in their roles while prioritizing road safety,” said Caroline Mutuku, Glovo Kenya country manager.
“We are grateful for the strong support from the Nairobi Government, which shares in our vision to create a thriving ecosystem for couriers in the city and has been instrumental in making this project a reality,” she added.
The partnership will also see courier personnel benefit from safety gear.
“This training program is not just about equipping them to carry passengers and packages, it is about fostering a culture of empowerment, professionalism, and community engagement,” said Molly Achieng, Deputy Director, Donor Coordination, and Stakeholder Engagement.
