Zizi Afrique Foundation (ZAF), in collaboration with the National Sector Skills Committee Secretariat under the Ministry of Labour, is facilitating the cocreation of national occupational standards for the Food and Beverage sub-sector of the Hospitality and Tourism industry. Five sub-sectors were formally adopted (Food and Beverage, Accommodation and Conferencing, Entertainment and Recreation, Tourism and Travel, and other county-specific sub-sectors). For Food and Beverage alone, 58 occupational standards were mapped, providing an evidence-based foundation for training policies. The process was informed by multiple rounds of employer surveys in Mombasa and global benchmarks (International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC), Kenya Standard Industrial Classification (KeSIC), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), UN Tourism).
