Team Ireland in Kenya

The work of the Embassy relates to the three key pillars of Ireland's new Foreign Policy - serving people, enhancing prosperity and promoting the values of the Irish people.

The Embassy works to enhance the political and economic relationship between Ireland and Kenya that will deliver economic growth and jobs; maintain and strengthen links with our Irish diaspora; and promote Ireland and Irish Culture.

While State Agencies (Bord Bia, Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland and Tourism Ireland) are not represented in Kenya, the Embassy will be pleased to act as a liaison, to promote trade, tourism and inward investment to Ireland.

The Embassy also provides consular services and assistance to Irish citizens resident in and visiting Kenya.

The work of the Embassy builds on the strong reputation Ireland enjoys because of the very substantial contribution of Irish missionaries and Non Governmental Organisations to Kenyan society over many years. It supports and oversees Irish Aid funds (amounting to around € 7 million per annum) which are directed through missionary and Non Governmental Organisations to deliver programmes that benefit the disadvantaged in Kenyan society.
