Swisscontact has appointed Sharon Mosin as the new Country Director for Swisscontact Kenya, effective 1st August 2025.

With more than 17 years of experience in Development and Private Sector Program design and implementation spanning inclusive finance, agriculture, climate action, and SME upskilling, Sharon brings an invaluable wealth of expertise and leadership to this role, marking an exciting new chapter for Swisscontact’s operations in Kenya.

In her new capacity, Sharon will lead the organization’s continued efforts to empower youth and local communities, foster sustainable development, and oversee the growing Kenyan portfólio. Swisscontact remains dedicated to leveraging Kenya’s unique strengths: a vibrant, youthful workforce, an expanding digital economy, and a dynamic private sector, to support skills development and stimulate economic growth. Through innovative projects, we aim to deliver lasting solutions tailored to the specific needs of the communities we serve.

Sharon’s leadership will be pivotal in aligning these efforts with Kenya’s potential, ensuring Swisscontact’s initiatives empower individuals and businesses while contributing to the country’s broader development goals.

“Creating meaningful opportunities for young people is not a challenge for tomorrow; it is an imperative for today. I am excited to join Swisscontact and contribute to equipping them with the skills they need to thrive across critical sectors of the economy.”

Before joining Swisscontact, Sharon served as the Country Director for Kenya and Regional Policy Lead at Aceli Africa, where she worked to increase capital flows to agricultural SMEs through de-risking mechanisms for private finance providers and advocated for policies that enable a supportive business environment.

“We look forward to Sharon’s leadership in guiding Swisscontact Kenya toward continued success, making a lasting impact on Kenya’s economic growth and development.”
