Nairobi County government has collaborated with Glovo to run a mass courier safety training in the city, tagged the Catalyst Project.

Designed to instill professionalism among dispatch couriers the Catalyst Project is set to train a total of 150 couriers in the city with 50 of them being Glovo couriers, and 100 from the county government.

The programme will provide participants with essential training on motorcycle riding techniques to ensure heightened road safety, as well as in-depth instruction on customer service.

“The MOU between Nairobi City County and Glovo is premised on four pillars namely SME Growth and investment, courier services, sustainable development, and thought partnership including digitization of courier and boda boda services in the city,” said deputy director, Donor Coordination and Stakeholder Engagement Molly Achieng.

In her remarks, Caroline Mutuku, the Country Manager for Glovo Kenya said they were delighted for the succesful launch of programme.
