On behalf of the American people, USAID Kenya promote and demonstrate democratic values abroad, and advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous world.

In support of America’s foreign policy, the U.S. Agency for International Development leads the U.S. Government’s international development and disaster assistance through partnerships and investments that save lives, reduce poverty, strengthen democratic governance, and help people emerge from humanitarian crises and progress beyond assistance.

Kenya has the largest, most diversified economy and the second largest population in East Africa. It also has a young, ambitious, and well-educated workforce eager to contribute to the development of the country. These factors have helped the country become a leader in mobile money and information and communication technology. As “the gateway to East Africa,” Kenya plays a vital role as a transportation hub for much of sub-Saharan Africa.

The friendship between the Republic of Kenya and the United States dates to the dawn of Kenyan independence. As an important partner in East Africa, Kenya is a significant recipient of U.S. foreign assistance. For nearly 60 years, USAID Kenya has worked closely with the Kenyan government, Kenya’s private sector, and the Kenyan people to:

Advance access to education;
Improve quality healthcare through nutrition, family planning, and maternal and child health, malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and strengthening healthcare systems;
Lay a foundation for long-term economic growth through trade, agriculture, and infrastructure initiatives; and
Make devolution work for the benefit of all Kenyans through democracy, governance, and conflict interventions.
