World Bank Delegation Visits CIM to Study Transformative Empowerment Model

*Yatta, Kenya – March 12, 2025*

This week, the CIM Empowered World View Centre in Yatta had the honor of hosting a high-level delegation from the World Bank Implementation Support Mission (WBISM). Led by Senior Agricultural Economists Dr. Ghada Elabed and Mr. James Musinga, the team engaged in an in-depth review of CIM’s innovative empowerment model.

During their visit, the delegation explored how CIM’s Empowered World View approach drives mindset transformation to enhance the implementation and success of development projects across Africa. This strategic engagement comes as the Kenyan Ministry of Agriculture, through the World Bank-funded National Agricultural Value Chain Development Program (NAVCDP), partners with CIM to pilot this groundbreaking program in three counties.

“We are proud to showcase how changing mindsets can create sustainable impact in community development,” said Bishop Dr. Titus Masika, OGW, Director of CIM. “This collaboration with the World Bank and Kenyan government represents a significant step in scaling our empowerment model to benefit more communities.”

The visit included:

• Detailed presentations on the CIM empowerment methodology

• Field demonstrations of mindset transformation in action

• Strategic discussions on program scaling and implementation

This partnership underscores CIM’s growing recognition as a leader in empowerment-based development solutions. We look forward to continuing this important work with our valued partners.
