Our Story

The journey that led to the formation of ACCO

After years of dedicated service within county governments, many Chief Officers found themselves asking: "How can we continue making an impact?"

This question led to the birth of ACCO — a united voice and platform that champions the welfare, professional growth, and collective influence of former Chief Officers.

"We believe that devolution works best when experience meets collaboration."

Today, ACCO stands as a testament to the commitment of former County Chief Officers to continue serving their communities and contributing to Kenya's development journey through shared knowledge, advocacy, and professional excellence.
