Kenya has marked a historic moment in its diplomatic journey with the Cabinet’s approval of the Kenya Foreign Policy 2024, a comprehensive framework designed to safeguard the nation’s sovereignty, enhance security, drive economic prosperity, and bolster its influence on the global stage.
This groundbreaking policy addresses critical issues such as geopolitical competition, climate change, regional security threats, and the fragmentation of multilateral systems. It also identifies untapped opportunities in trade, investment, and technology, positioning Kenya as a leader in tackling challenges that extend beyond national borders.
Developed by the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, the policy follows an inclusive and collaborative process that engaged a wide range of stakeholders, including government ministries, county administrations, civil society, academia, faith-based organizations, and the Kenyan diaspora. This participatory approach underscores Kenya’s adherence to constitutional principles and ensures the policy reflects diverse perspectives.
Aligned with the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), the Kenya Foreign Policy 2024 emphasizes inclusivity and supports small enterprises and marginalized groups, positioning the country as a hub for trade, investment, and innovation.
“This policy sets a bold vision for Kenya’s role in an interconnected world,” a representative from the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs stated. “It balances global leadership with a strong focus on domestic priorities, ensuring economic transformation and sustainable development.”
The Kenya Foreign Policy 2024 reaffirms the nation’s commitment to global leadership, regional collaboration, and advancing national interests. By addressing contemporary challenges and embracing long-term resilience, Kenya aims to secure a prosperous future for its people while strengthening its position as a key player on the international stage.
