ABOUT US
Who we are
The European Union and Kenya have a long-standing partnership – covering Political, Development, Economic and Security Cooperation. The European Union and its Member States, acting jointly as Team Europe, support the Government of Kenya through a Joint Cooperation Strategy, which jointly implements priorities and objectives identified by the Government of Kenya in its development blueprint Vision 2030, through the EU’s third Medium-Term Plan (MTP III) 2018-2022.

Our work in Kenya
What we do
The Strategic Dialogue between the Republic of Kenya and the European Union was launched during the meeting between H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta, C.G.H., President of the Republic of Kenya, and H.E. Charles Michel, President of the European Council, held on 21 June 2021 in Brussels. This upgrade of the Kenya - European Union relations builds on the meeting between the two counterparts on 9 March 2021 at State House, Nairobi, and the renewed European Union Strategy for the Horn of Africa, adopted in May 2021, in which the European Union confirmed its readiness to step up its relationship with Kenya.
The EU and Kenya are working together actively in promoting a transition to a climate-neutral, nature-positive, resource-efficient and more circular global economy in line with the ambition of the external dimension of the European Green Deal. We also work together in promoting peace and stability in the region, trade, infrastructure development, agriculture and resilience, and in taking action as like-minded actors on the world stage.
