Kenya Diaspora Investment Strategy

The Kenya Diaspora Investment Strategy (DIS) is a five-year policy framework developed by the State Department for Diaspora Affairs (SDDA) under the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs. It aims to harness the financial, intellectual, and entrepreneurial potential of the Kenyan diaspora as a catalyst for inclusive national development. Rooted in the vision of a globally engaged and empowered diaspora, the strategy seeks to transform remittance flows— currently dominated by household consumption—into structured, productive investments aligned with Kenya’s development priorities
