Abstract: The Kenya Sustainable Investment Project,developed by the World Economic Forum in partnership with the Kenya Investment Authority (KenInvest),has sought to understand the role of government (national and subnational institutions) in Kenya on investment policies and measures that support inward and outward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The key components of the project include analysis of Kenya?s investment policy and regulatory dynamics,interviews with stakeholders,validation workshops and implementation of key policy measures. The project is guided by the Forum?s Sustainable Investment Framework that includes five dimensions: policy,promotion,facilitation,finance and development impact. The aim is to generate positive impact across four areas: economic,social,environmental and governance. The project also builds on the Kenya Investment Policy (KIP) 2019,which outlines a comprehensive list of policy intervention areas to improve the business climate in the country.
