EU Ambassador Henriette Geiger this morning met with the President of the Law Society of Kenya, Ms Faith Odhiambo, who paid her a courtesy call at the EU Delegation offices in Nairobi. They discussed the important role of legal professionals in upholding the Bill of Rights of the 2010 Constitution and advocating for accountability and transparency. Later this afternoon, Ambassador Geiger had a fruitful conversation with Roseline Odede, Chairperson of the KNCHR. In light of the international day for victims of enforced disappearances, Ambassador Geiger and Ms Odede also talked about progress on seeking justice for victims of enforced disappearances. #EnforcedDisappearances
Delegation of The European Union to Kenya
Government Administration
We promote the EU's values and interest in Kenya, working in close cooperation with Kenyan partners.
About us
The European Union (EU) is a unique economic and political partnership between 27 democratic European countries that are working together to improve the lives of their citizens. It has delivered half a century of peace, stability and prosperity, helped raise living standards, and is progressively building a single Europe-wide market in which people, goods, services and capital move among Member States as freely as within a country. With more than 500 million inhabitants, which account for one quarter of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) and one fifth of worldwide trade, the EU is a global player. It is now the largest economy and the largest exporter and importer of goods and services in the world. More than twenty years ago, EU Member States agreed to create a Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). This enables the EU to speak and act as one in world affairs. In an international and globalised world, the 27 countries that make up the EU have greater weight and influence when they act together as the European Union, rather than as 27 individual nations. The Government of Kenya and the EU have enjoyed a long-standing partnership for over four decades. The first formal link between the EU and Kenya was forged back in 1968 at Arusha when the East African Community signed the Arusha Convention establishing trade relations between the then three EAC partner states (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) and the then European Community. At the start of the EU-Kenya Partnership, the main emphasis was on providing technical and financial aid to rural development and food production, development of hydro-electric power, development of feeder roads as well as training and development of technical education facilities. Today, thanks to the provision of duty free, quota free access into the EU market for goods originating from Kenya, trade is now the centrepiece of EU-Kenya relations.
