UK in Kenya
Our mission is for Britain to be Kenya’s natural partner of choice in supporting and improving the country’s stability, governance and development, in reducing poverty, and in developing its capacity to be a good influence in the region and the world.
In order to do this, we work to create a positive impression of Britain, including by providing the desired public services to a high standard: to give timely and well – considered advice to London; and work constructively to project Britain’s policy.
We want our staff to feel valued, and in turn to value working for us.
