The FY23-FY28 Country Partnership Framework (CPF), endorsed by the WBG Board of Executive Directors in November 2022, set out the strategy to support Kenya’s transformation into a middle-income economy that achieves inclusivity and resilience. The CPF builds on the WBG’s comparative advantages and drew from various sources, including Country Partnership Strategy (CPS) FY14–FY20, the CPS Completion and Learning Review (FY22), the FY20 Systematic Country Diagnostic, Country Private Sector Diagnostic (FY19), and over 34 stakeholder consultations. It aligns with Kenya Vision 2030 and the World Bank’s overall Africa Strategy, which emphasizes jobs and economic transformation, the digital economy, human capital, universal access to electricity, climate change mitigation and adaptation; addressing fragility, conflict, and violence; and achieving gender equality.

The WBG has established strong partnerships for knowledge and resources with other development partners, researchers, and agencies that contribute to Kenya’s development. These include the African Development Bank, China, the European Union, the European Investment Bank, France’s Agence Française de Développement, the German Development Bank, the Japan International Cooperation Agency, and the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, known as FCDO.
