Embassy history

Diplomatic relations were established in 1979, and Ireland’s Embassy was opened in the same year – although the Embassy closed for a number of years, it was reopened in 2014. Over this time, Ireland has worked in Kenya with the Government and partners on a range of shared development cooperation priorities.

Our work is driven by a commitment to reach the furthest behind and has a strong gender equality focus.
