1 Kenya Country Profile
Generic Information
Kenya, officially the Republic of Kenya (Swahili: Jamhuri ya Kenya), is a country in East Africa. A member of the Commonwealth with a population of more than 47.6 million in the 2019 census, Kenya is the 28th most populous country in the world and 7th most populous in Africa. Kenya's capital and largest city is Nairobi, while its oldest and second largest city, which until 1907 was also Kenya's first capital city, is the coastal city of Mombasa which includes Mombasa Island in the Indian Ocean and the surrounding mainland. Kisumu is the third-largest city and also an inland port in the Winam Gulf which, along with its numerous bays and human settlements, is one of the important maritime transport, fishing, farming, commercial, history and tourism hubs on Lake Victoria. As of 2020, Kenya is the third-largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa after Nigeria and South Africa.
Kenya is bordered by South Sudan to the northwest, Ethiopia to the north, Somalia to the east, Uganda to the west, Tanzania to the south, and the Indian Ocean to the southeast. Its geography, climate and population vary widely, ranging from cold snow-capped mountaintops (Batian, Nelion and Point Lenana on Mount Kenya) with vast surrounding forests, wildlife and fertile agricultural regions to temperate climates in western and rift valley counties and dry less fertile arid and semi-arid areas and absolute deserts (Chalbi Desert and Nyiri Desert).

Seasonal Effects on Logistics Capacities
|
Seasonal Effects on Transport |

|---|---|---|
|
Transport Type |
Time Frame |
Comments / Details |
|
Primary Road Transport |
March – May
Oct - December |
There has been significant improvement in the national trunk roads and transnational highways paving in the past decade. This has resulted in several the main highways being tarmacked and reducing travel times between major towns and cities. However, Kenya still has many roads constructed largely of earth that can become impassable during the rain seasons. This can have a dramatic impact on the road and transport infrastructure but has little or no direct influence on the efficiency of air and rail networks. More details on the seasonal effects on roads in different regions of Kenya are annexed to this chapter. |
|
Secondary Road Transport |
|
Majority of the second transport are earth roads which can be rendered impassable during the rainy seasons (March – May; and Oct – December) |
|
Rail Transport |
|
No seasonal impact on rail transport – recently commissioned standard gauge railway has increased transport capacity from Mombasa to Nairobi and Naivasha. |
|
Air Transport |
|
No seasonal impacts on air transport between major cities and towns. |
|
Waterway Transport |
|
No seasonal impacts on the waterway transport |
The main rain season – locally known as the long rains – is March-April-May (MAM) where most parts of the country receive significant amounts of rainfalls. The short rains season in Oct-Nov-Dec (OND) also causes flooding and roads are cut off. Outside the main national highways, secondary roads are significantly affected during these seasons and rendered largely impassable.
The port also experiences some congestion in certain seasons, especially during discharge of bulk cargo such as fertilizers imported by private sector players and the government of Kenya. However, in recent times, investment in handling capacity and additional berths, the bulk silo handling of grains and vessel discharge to the standard gauge railway has eased the congestion that often resulted in days or waiting for trucks to load on cargo.
The main harvesting season for grains in the North Rift region happens in November and December, and occasionally puts pressure on the storage facilities and transport capacities available for humanitarian activities.

Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
GOVERNMENT
The Government of Kenya has ramped up its capacity to respond to emergencies over the past decade. In particular, the two-tier governance framework under the Constitution of Kenya 2010 establishes disaster risk management as a shared responsibility between the National and County Governments. The County Governments – through the Departments for Special Programmes are responsible for the first line of response. Once their capacities are exceeded or exhausted, due to widespread nature of a disaster, the national government entities complement the county government disaster management activities. If the scale of the disaster exceeds the coping capacity of both the counties and national government are exceeded, a national disaster is declared by the President of the Republic, inviting international actors to join in the disaster response.
At the national level, several agencies are responsible for disaster management. These include the National Disaster Operations Centre (NDOC), the National Disaster Management Unit (NDMU) and the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA). The multiplicity of disaster management institutions at the national level means that the coordination and communications during disasters can be a significant challenge depending on which disaster is in question.
Occasionally, the military can be deployed to support emergency response activities – particularly for sudden onset disasters such as floods and terrorism related activities. Generally, the President – with approval of the National Security Council - will authorize the deployment of the military for civil disaster response.

Duties and Tax Exemption
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) was established by an Act of Parliament, which became effective on 1st July 1995.
The Authority is charged with the responsibility of collecting revenue on behalf of the Government of Kenya.

Emergency Response:
[Note: This section contains information which is related and applicable to 'crisis' times. These instruments can be applied when an emergency is officially declared by the Government.
When this occurs, there is usually a streamlined process to
import goods duty and tax free.]
Whereas a local import would have many stages, all UN, NGO’s and
other privileged organisations will have various exemptions making
the import procedures different.
Local imports are usually subjected to an Import Declaration Form
(IDF) application before the goods are shipped. A payment of KES
5,000 (approx. $70) application fee is paid to customs.
However, the total amount payable is usually 2.75% of CIF whichever
is higher. If the KES 5,000 fee is less than the 2.75% amount then
the difference will be paid at the time of import.
On payment of this amount the importer liaises with the supplier to
arrange for inspection by the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) or
its appointed agent at the country of origin.
A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) will then be issued to the
supplier/importer which will form part of the clearing documents…
however the UN and NGO’s are exempt from these procedures

Transit Regime
- Upon request to and authorization by the Commissioner of Customs, Customs Officers can be deployed to any border crossing of interest at the client's own cost,
- i.e. El-Wak border crossing shared with Somalia. It is advisable that all required documentation for customs clearance be ready, by the client and its appointed C&F agent, prior to departure of cargo from the point of origin
- The estimated time for Customs clearance, for overland road transport is one to two days, provided that all necessary documentation is in order.
- This suggested time also includes the cargo verification time by the Customs and Police officers against the established transport and clearing documentation. The verification process for relief cargo is not as involving as for commercial cargo
- Traffic congestion resulting in clearance delays may occur at the big (in terms of volume) border posts, such as in Malaba (main Kenya – Uganda border, serving not only Uganda but also Rwanda, Burundi, DRC and southern Sudan).
- The time delays are estimated to be about one day although, most delays and congestion are related to clearing documentation that is not in order, for example or the huge volume of traffic at the border post of Malaba where Customs clears cargo transported by both rail and road
- In general, the Customs rules are very detailed and are implemented through multiple forms. Import and export delays may therefore occur at the major and busy entry and exit points that could affect the smooth running of operations, i.e. Mombasa and Malaba.
- All transit goods are declared at point of import and travel under bond where the customs will validate and discharge the documentation and at point of exit from Kenya, this is a relatively uncomplicated process and works well
- The Government has implemented a programme of streamlining its Customs department operations called “single window” so as to become more user-friendly by reducing the number of required forms and procedural stages and to maximize the revenue collection

2 Kenya Logistics Infrastructure
Kenya Logistics Infrastructure
Kenya's national logistical infrastructure plays a crucial role in facilitating trade, transportation, and economic development. The government, along with foreign and private investments, has been actively involved in enhancing the country's logistics capabilities. Over the past decade, several initiatives have been undertaken to improve road networks, railways, ports, and airports. Key players include the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Railways Corporation, Kenya Ports Authority, and the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority. These organizations work to ensure the smooth functioning of transportation networks.
Foreign investment has been significant in supporting infrastructure projects. Partnerships with countries like China and Japan have resulted in the construction of major projects such as the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), connecting the port city of Mombasa to Nairobi and other regions. The SGR aims to improve freight and passenger transport efficiency.
Private investments, both domestic and international, have also played a crucial role in the development of logistics and supply chain infrastructure. Companies involved in logistics, warehousing, and transportation contribute to the growth of the sector.
However, challenges persist, impacting the national logistical infrastructure. Positive factors include ongoing investments and improvements, which enhance efficiency and connectivity. On the negative side, issues such as climate change, and security concerns can hinder progress.
National projects like the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) corridor, which includes a new port at Lamu, transportation links, and pipelines, are expected to significantly impact the country's logistics landscape over the coming decade. While the completion dates and impacts are subject to change, these projects aim to boost trade and connectivity in the East African region.
2.1 Kenya Port Assessment
Port Assessment
There are about 15 ports in the country and most of these are undergoing expansion and renovation to meet global standards. The main ports are Mombasa, Lamu and Kisumu Port. The rest are classified as small ports
Mombasa Port - Situated on the East African Coast, is not only the premier port of Kenya but the largest and the busiest port of the Eastern African region. Mombasa Port comprises the Kilindini Harbour, Port Tudor, Port of Reitz, and the Old Port plus the waters surrounding the island of Mombasa. The port has a total of 19 berths with a quay length of 4200 metres. Six berths are container terminals, 13 for conventional cargo, one crew ship terminal, 2 oil terminals and Mbaraki wharf and Old Port. The annual handling capacity of the port is 2.65 million TEU’s. It is managed and operated by the Kenya Ports Authority that also offers pilotage, docking, anchorage, stevedoring. Shipping, transport, and storage services are given by private enterprises.
Port of Lamu - The Port of Lamu was commissioned in May 2021. It has 3 complete berths with a quay length of 1200 metres and when complete the port will have a total of 23 berths. KPA (Kenya Ports Authority) has deployed 5 mobile harbour cranes. Currently it has a warehouse that can accommodate 10,000 tonnes. There is a police station inside the port, KPA security and patrol by Kenya Defence Forces. KPA is also constructing a water desalination plant for use by port and serve surrounding community. 
Kisumu port - located in Kisumu County is critical in connecting Kenya, Mwanza and Bukoba in Tanzania and Port bell in Uganda through lake transport. It facilitates multimodal cargo transport from rail, road, and water. It handles both containerized and conventional Cargo as well as pedestrians. It has a capacity to handle 50,000 TEUs or an equivalent of 200,000 metric tonnes. It consists of a 352m long quay wall in an L-shape, and a draft of 2.5m to 3.5m. The port has a yard area of 58,428 metre square for handling TEUs and conventional cargo. KPA plans to increase the port capacity in line with the increase in cargo and passenger freight across the East African community. The port has recorded steady growth in the last 5 years following its rehabilitation by the government of Kenya in 2019-2023. Volume of cargo has grown 3,431 tonnes in 2017 to 54,014 tonnes in 2021 (grown 15 times) while the number of vessels docking at Kisumu Port has increased 7 vessels in 2017 to 77 vessels in 2021 (grown 7 times).
Kilifi Port is situated on Kilifi Creek and has a boatyard. The port area is sheltered and has a bridge. It also offers marine services. KPA aims to develop it further and construct a dock for handling fish and build Luxury Marine Buildings plus 200 mooring points for all kinds of ships.
Port of Mtwapa is a small port and receives smaller yachts and ships. Also, there is not much space for expanding this port. However, plans are underway to develop it further to make it a fishing port equipped with a fish landing facility.
KPA is now constructing a land point for fish and some berths.
Port of Shimoni is in Shimoni opposite Wasini island on the southern coast of Kenya. It handles about 10,000 metric tonnes of cargo and is the busiest of the small ports in terms of coastal trade. It has a dock, used primarily for fishing and tourism. It also has a deep and well-sheltered bay that can accommodate large ships. Currently KPA is constructing a new jetty to handle fish, general cargo, and passengers.
Port of Malindi is located on the northern side, just 120 km away in Mombasa town. It has a dock that is in good condition however due to accretion, the breaking area has drifted to the fish handling part of the port. Its anchorage is 11 m to 12.2 m, and it can accommodate vessels measuring up to 500 m. This port exports cotton, sim-sim, and copra. It also serves the fish industry and has scope for expansion to revamp the dock to make it an efficient fishing port and a tourist spot, as the Malindi town is a popular tourism destination. Currently, the fish jetty handles about 1,250 MT (Metric Tonnes) annually and sees 8000 tourist vessels. KPA has also decided on expanding this port by acquiring an additional 2500 sqm of land area to construct administrative and office buildings, cold storage for fish, ice facility, fuel services, ship repair etc.
Port of Kiunga is a dock near the Village of Kiunga that deals with 2500 MT of fish annually and coastal trade that comprises 1000 MT of cotton and coconut exports. This jetty has poor sea access, and the KPA is planning to take 20 acres of land to develop this port into an efficient fishing port that would boost the fishing sector. It also plans to dredge the water channel and construct another wharf that has easy access to the waters. The port would also have offices and buildings apart from a cold storage facility for keeping seafood.

Project Description
The proposed port site at Kililana in Manda Bay at 40o 55' East and 2o 11' South was selected because it has deep and sheltered bay and a wide navigable entrance channel. Hydraulic and geotechnical surveys have confirmed that the area is suitable for port construction. The projected 10Km shore length has the capacity to accommodate up to Twenty-Three (23) berths each with a length of 400 m.
The Port has two harbour channels:
-
Southern Channel (Sub channel) Dredge depth of 12.5m & 300m wide
-
Eastern Channel (Main Channel) Dredge depth of 17.5m & 600m wide
Project Benefits
The port is expected to attract larger cargo ships and aims to provide benefits within the region by passing on savings derived from lower marine costs due to faster ship turnaround time and at the same time of reducing the cost of doing business.

Customs Guidance
Customs clearance formalities start with shipping line lodging ship’s manifest with customs immediately before departure from the last port of call. Upon approval of manifest by customs, the Clearing agent can lodge an entry in the ICMS system for a consignment within the ship. The consignment is inspected by various relevant regulatory agencies and released by customs online after payment of the various duties. If exempted from duty, for exempted consignment approval is done online before final release. Upon clearing with customs, the agent proceeds to settle port charges and release consignment with KPA. Once completed, the port gives a “Pick up Order”/PUO which is effectively the gate pass to allow cargo exit from port. The whole clearing process takes on average 2 working days hence possible to have all clearance in place by time of ship arrival to facilitate direct delivery upon discharge.
For additional customs information, please see the following link: 1.3 Kenya Customs Information
Terminal Information

Stevedoring
Stevedoring activities in port constitute discharge and loading activities for containerised, loose/break bulk, bulk liquid grain etc. The port authority offers all stevedoring activities except for bulk grain which is handled by private. Liquid discharge/loading activities not applicable in Lamu for now
Hinterland Information
Goods are only released out of port after payment of all port dues, customs duties and when they meet other import conditions ascertained by other Government regulatory agencies. Exit from port and onwards into the hinterland is mainly by rail or road. There is more reliance on deliveries by road over 90%, due to decreased capacity of rail, run down infrastructure, and rolling stock.
To speed up evacuation from port to deter demurrage and punitive port storage charges, cargo is also shunted ex-port by trucks onto warehouses or transit yards out of port from where it is then dispatched either by road or rail to its destination in the hinterland.
Port Security
Kenya has implemented the maritime security requirements contained in Chapter XI-2 of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 1974 and the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code through the Merchant Shipping Bill 2004 and the Maritime Security Regulations 2004. These regulations apply to all seaports in Kenya and passenger ships, cargo ships of 500 GRT or more and mobile offshore drilling units on international voyages.
Security Level 2 applies in Kenyan territorial waters and seaports. Any change of security level or its area of application will be communicated by notices to mariners, navigational warnings, circulars, VHF communication or any other appropriate means.
Port Security in Kenya has been tightened considerably following the events of 11 September 2001 and the sharp rise in terrorist incidents worldwide and lately in Kenya. Until recently KPA was concerned mainly with cargo security. But now in common with other port authorities around the world KPA is focusing its attention on the security of everyone visiting its ports and using their facilities.
KPA has introduced several measures to make the port a safer place for business which includes:
-
New electronic surveillance equipment including CCTV.
-
A fully-fledged police station within the port headed by an Officer Commanding Police Division/OCPD Port.
-
Coastguard surveillance of waters in port area
-
New search and rescue centre set up jointly with the IMO to supplement sea surveillance.
-
Plain-clothes and uniformed security officers on patrol in port areas
-
Strict controls on port entry with all port users and visitors required to display biometric passes and to weigh reflector jackets when accessing the quayside.
-
Restricted entry to container terminal and other key sections such as oil terminals.
-
Continuously manned watch towers in car handling area and container terminal
-
A rapid response team to deal with urgent security matters in or near the port area.
-
A centralised verification area at the container terminal, car handling area and the CFS
-
Physical and electronic operated Barriers at port gates to deter forced entry and ensure proper security checks.
-
Mandatory scanning of all export containers.
-
Random targeting of import containers for scanning without stripping – thus helping to reduce pilferage.

Kenya - 2.1.3 Port of Kisumu
Port Overview
Kisumu port, which is positioned in Kisumu Central Constituency, in Kisumu Town, in Kisumu County, in Kenya is under the management of Kenya Port Authority (KPA). It is situated on the shores of Lake Victoria, the second largest freshwater lake in the world. The Port is one of the ports on Lake Victoria that offer organised shipping services on the Lake. The other ports are, Port Bell and Jinja in Uganda; and Mwanza, Bukoba, and Musoma in Tanzania. Out of these ports, Kisumu, Mwanza, and Port Bell are the largest, in terms of throughput. Inland shipping on Lake Victoria forms a vital component of an intermodal supply chain along the Central and Northern Corridor linking to Mombasa and Dar es Salaam ports. The port links Kisumu to Port Bell in Uganda and Mwanza in Tanzania, using rail ferries that carry rail wagons loaded directly from rail tracks in the three ports.
The port occupies 17.5 hectares of land with a stacking area designed to accommodate a throughput of 15,000 TEUs per annum. Similarly, taking Kisumu’s 2014 import figure of 21,943 tons as a starting point, and considering all developments and economic growth, Kisumu’s local cargo imports are estimated to increase to 130,000 tons by 2025, and further to 180,000 tons by 2035. The Port which has been underutilised for over 20 years is in operation after being refurbished at a cost of KES 700 million
Currently, the Port of Kisumu operates only at a fraction of its capacity and former throughput. Due to the deterioration of the rail connection from Mombasa to Kisumu, transit cargo volumes have decreased steeply over the last decades. The port still handles some of the local cargo and specific transit cargo. However, all cargo volumes have dwindled, due to a lack of critical mass and the reliability of the transport system. Lake ports have RoRo ramps, and all break bulk is handled manually. The port of Kisumu exports: Edible Oil, Gas Oil, Steel Billet, bagged fertilizer, ceramic tiles, and assorted nails among other products in small quantities. Exports through the port include sugar, iron sheets, cotton seed cake and Sorghum.

The Inland Container Depot Kisumu (ICDK) is in Kibos in Western Kenya on the shores of Lake Victoria along the Kibos road in Kondele. The facility is linked to the Port of Mombasa by railtainer service. The volume of cargo handled at the revamped Kisumu port jumped to 17,735 tonnes in 2019, a 62 per cent increase compared to 2018 due to improved efficiency and a surge in trade. Data from Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) shows the volume of cargo shipped through the Kisumu port jumped from 9946 tonnes in 2018 to 58,289 tonnes in 2022 which is a 17% increase. The rise in cargo was buoyed by a strong second-half performance, reflecting better efficiency and an overall improvement in trade among partner states of the East Africa Community (EAC). The number of vessels using the port also increased to 41 in 2019 compared to nineteen the previous year, representing a 116 per cent jump. The upgrading work included concreting of the port yard, construction of the quayside, repairs of the linkspan, revamping the dry dock and rehabilitation of all buildings to boost efficiency. All roads within and the link roads to the port facility have also been repaired and feeder jetties and piers are also being put in place. The port has further been equipped with equipment such as forklift trucks, mobile cranes, and tractor-trailers.
One problem the port has faced in recent decades has been the growth of hyacinth weed, which chokes off a large part of the Kisumu pier and frustrates shipping activities.
The port has been stimulated by the growth in the shipment of goods through the port to destinations in Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, and Democratic Republic of Congo. Kisumu has also been designated a “city” by the central government of Kenya. Although Kisumu’s rank as a city has not been formalized through a charter by the central government

Container Facilities
Port facilities are grouped in a wide area of land some 6ha in size. This area includes: a 262m quay, a rail-wagon ferry pier, including ninety meters of berthing space alongside the pier, on reclaimed land, almost perpendicular to the main quay.
Customs Guidance
Upon approval of manifest by customs, the Clearing agent can lodge an entry in the ICMS system for a consignment within the ship. The consignment is inspected by various relevant regulatory agencies and released by customs online after payment of the various duties. If exempted from duty, for exempted consignment approval is done online before final release. Upon clearing with customs, the agent proceeds to settle port charges and release consignment with KPA. Once completed, the port gives a “Pick up Order”/PUO which is effectively the gate pass to allow cargo exit from port. The whole clearing process takes on average two working days hence possible to have all clearance in place by time of ship arrival to facilitate direct delivery upon discharge.

State of the aviation sector in Kenya
The aviation sector in Kenya is run by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA). KCAA was established on 24th October 2002 by the Civil Aviation (Amendment) Act, 2002 with the primary functions towards; Regulation and oversight of Aviation Safety and security; Economic regulation of Air Services and development of Civil Aviation; Provision of Air Navigation Services, and Training of Aviation personnel KCAA; as guided by the provisions of the convention on international civil aviation, related ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), the Kenya Civil Aviation Act, 2013 and the civil aviation regulations. KCAA recognizes that aviation, like other sectors of our economy, is accountable to its stakeholders, the society and the (our) environment in achieving a sustainable civil aviation system in Kenya. During the fiscal year 2022/2023 8.8 million passengers were made through Kenya and 380 million kgs of cargo and 259,212 aircraft movements were made, contributing to 5.1% of GDP (Gross Domestic Product), up from 4.6% in the previous reporting period. In 2017, over 4.7 million passenger journeys were made to Kenya, with aviation and tourism representing US$3.2 billion in GDP. It accounts for 4.6 per cent of Kenya’s GDP and supports 410,000 jobs.
IATA identified four areas where government action can promote aviation’s growth and bring even more value to Kenya:
1. Improve air transport infrastructure to accommodate the future growth of air traffic in collaboration with users.
2. Improving operational efficiency at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport as essential if Nairobi is to remain a competitive connecting hub and East Africa’s main air cargo hub.
3. Implement the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) and urge the government to implement it by making its regulatory framework statutory.
4. Improvement of safety performance of Africa’s turboprop fleet to remain a priority in Kenya and the IATA Standard Safety Assessment Program (ISSA) enhances and complements the state’s safety oversight role.
5. Integrating technology such as biometrics and AI to improve efficiency and passenger experience.
Kenya ratified the 1944 Convention on International Civil Aviation (The Chicago Convention) on 1st May 1964, becoming a member of the International Civil Aviation Organization-United Nations’ specialized agency responsible for International Civil Aviation. The Kenya Mission to ICAO works in collaboration with ICAO Diplomatic Bodies, ICAO Member States, and Regional and International organizations in furthering the strategic goal of ensuring an efficient, safe, secure, and sustainable Global Aviation Industry. Kenya is also a host to the ICAO Eastern and Southern Africa Region office located at the United Nations Complex in Nairobi.

Kenya - 2.2.1 Jomo Kenyatta International Airport
Airport Overview
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) is Kenya’s largest aviation facility and the busiest airport in east and central Africa. It serves as a transit hub for major airlines as well as the gateway for visitors to other Africa's airports. The airport also serves as a major cargo centre for both inbound and outbound goods. The Government of Kenya, in its Vision 2030, recognises that an improved and expanded airport infrastructure is critical to the realization of the long-term development aspiration of the Country. In line with its vision, the proposed modernization and expansion of the JKIA is aimed at strengthening the competitive position of the airport as a regional logistical hub and a key gateway into East and Central Africa. The airport currently operates a single runway, which was developed in 1978, and whose configuration is undermining operational efficiency at the airport in terms of delays to aircraft movements at peak hours.

Runways
The current runway is 60 metres wide and 4.2 kilometres long and can handle the new generation wide-bodied aircraft like the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 747-8 as per ICAO code. The present runway is only lit at the sides. In January 2017, a new instrument landing system-equipped runway of 5,500 metres (18,000 ft) in length was approved for construction at a cost of KES 37 billion shillings (approximately US$370 million) The runway could enable long-haul flights to destinations like New York City carrying up to 32 tonnes of passengers and cargo. The plan was later halted to pave the way for the high-priority project.

Security
Kenya Airports Authority has installed up-to-date, top notch security systems for screening cargo and put in place safety procedures that are in line with ICAO recommendations. Strict measures are exercised to counter terrorism and ensure that there is ultimate security at all airports. Due to a well-documented case of lapse in security at JKIA in 2006, all security scanners have been upgraded and all personnel are screened at all check-in points and boarding gates. An ongoing security training exercise is undertaken for all airport workers as well as the National Security Intelligent Service, Kenya Airports Police Unit, Immigration, Kenya Revenue Authority, Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya Civil Aviation Authority Port Health and all the Air Operators
For your safety and of travellers, all passengers as well as their carry-on and registered baggage are screened. Screening is conducted for metal objects such as keys, cell phones and coins. Coat or jacket are taken off and placed in the plastic tray, liquids and gels are presented separately, laptops are removed for separate screening and other instructions given by the security agents must be adhered to. For security reasons, all hold baggage is screened. If during this screening, the security agent suspects the presence of prohibited or dangerous goods, then the security team on the ground is allowed to open the traveller's bag or suitcase. As a rule, the passenger is confronted with their baggage in which case they will be opened in their (passengers) presence, and the security staff will explain the need for extra search being performed.

Kenya - 2.2.3 Eldoret International Airport
Airport Overview
The airport was established in 1995 and is located some 16 kilometres south from Eldoret Town on the Eldoret-Kisumu Road. Eldoret is an international airport with all facilities; however, due to its high altitude of 7,050 feet, it is difficult to operate aircraft effectively. The airport is open from Monday to Sunday from 0600hours to 2100hours GMT, but the hours can be extended on request. Currently the airport has three scheduled international cargo flights and several ad hoc freighters per week. The Eldoret International Airport (EIA) has positioned itself as a regional cargo hub. The airport can accommodate medium-size haul planes such as Boeing B767 or Airbus 310. The existing structure can handle 1.5 million passengers, 62,000 tonnes of cargo and 36,000 aircrafts per year. EIA has two cargo facilities with a capacity to handle 1.2 million tonnes of cargo annually, and a cold storage capacity of 250 metric tonnes. The cargo facilities are Signon Freight Limited and CanKen International.
Among the infrastructural challenges is the airport's 3.5-kilometre runway, which cannot accommodate large aircraft. In addition, the airfield is poorly lit. The only cargo flights that operate from the airport delivers electronics, clothes, and other accessories for local consumption, but leave empty because there are no goods to be flown back from the town. Two international cargo planes, namely Ethiopian and Emirates, which land twice a week full of goods. The main challenge is lack of partnership with farmers so they can also raise crops meant for export.

Runways
Eldoret International Airport is a large airport that serves the city of Eldoret and the surrounding communities. Situated at 2,150 metres (7,050 ft) above sea level, the airport has a single asphalt runway that measures 3,475 metres (11,401 ft) in length. It is one of the more than 5,000 private jet airports one can access through Private Jets and allows flights into any airport of one’s choice.
Although the Eldoret airport is located by a small road at a considerable distance away from the centre of town, it is ranked fourth in terms of general size among airports in Kenya.
With a 3-kilometer-long runway and its trademark chain-link fence along the perimeter, it could certainly do with a facelift. That notwithstanding, the Eldoret International Airport remains a significant nucleus in the Western region for goods importers in the region.

The current one is Category A, which only allows aircraft such as the Boeing 767 or Airbus 310. Cargo flights operated from the airport only delivers electronics, clothes, and other accessories for local consumption, but leaves empty because there are no goods to be flown back from the town. The main challenge is lack of partnership with farmers so they can also raise crops meant for export.
The airport fails to attract more airlines despite the region having many tourists’ attractions sites due high cost of fuel. Despite there being an oil depot in Eldoret, the airport must source fuel from Nairobi. The airport has only two international cargo planes, namely Etihad and Emirates, which land twice a week full of goods.
There are plans to extend the runway strip from the current 3.5km to accommodate bigger aircraft.

Customs Guidance
Customs assesses duty payable depending on the value of the goods and the duty rate applicable before releasing them from Customs; except goods qualifying for special privilege according to the laws and regulations, whereby their duties and taxes are exempted. To import any goods such as cars or machinery requires the engagement of a customs clearing agent who will process the import documentation through Kenya Customs electronically on the Simba 2005 system and clear the goods on behalf of the importers. An import declaration fee (IDF) of 2% of the Customs Value is payable. When engaging with your preferred clearing agent ensure you always have: 1. Import Declaration Forms (IDF). 2. Customs declaration (Entry). 3. A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) from the PVoC agent for regulated products. 4. An import standard mark (ISM) when applicable. 5. Valid Commercial invoices from the exporting firm. 6 Valid pro forma invoices from the exporting firm. The customs clearing agent is then allowed to declare the goods you are importing on the customs portal known as SIMBA.

Kenya - 2.2.4 Malindi International Airport
Airport Overview
Malindi International Airport is located west of the central business district of the town of Malindi, in Kilifi County, in south-eastern Kenya, at the Indian Ocean coast. This is about 132 kilometres (82 mi), by road and about 104.5 kilometres (65 mi), by air, northeast of Moi International Airport-Mombasa, the nearest international airport. It is approximately 485 kilometres (301 mi), by road and approximately 411 kilometres (255 mi), by air, southeast of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, the largest airport in Kenya.
It is a medium-sized airport that serves the town of Malindi and is situated at an average elevation of 80 feet (24 m) above sea level. The airport has two bitumen runways: Runway 17/35 measures 4,600 feet (1,400 m) long and is 98 feet (30 m) wide,[5] and Runway 8/26 measures 3,549 feet (1,082 m) and is 76 feet (23 m) wide. The Kenyan government funded the updating and expansion of the Malindi Airport terminal building, construction of a new control tower and rehabilitation of the runways between 2011 and 2012 at a cost of KES:200 million (approx. USD1.5million).
The Kenyan government seeks to expand Malindi Airport to attract direct international flights. Plans are underway to extend Runway 17/35 to a length of 2,500 metres (8,202 ft), enlarge the apron to accommodate more aircraft, build a 7.5 kilometres (5 mi) perimeter fence and construct a parking facility that accommodates 500 vehicles. The work has been delayed by some individuals and groups demanding compensation for land required for the expansion. In January 2018, the National Land Commission of Kenya, earmarked KSh424 million (approximately US$4.24 million) to compensate 175 landowners for 25 hectares (62 acres) of land and pave way for airport expansion of the runway to allow larger planes and cargo flights to land in Malindi and boost tourism and business in general.

Malindi International Airport has undergone modernization of the control tower, aircraft manoeuvring area (apron), preparation of customs offices, baggage distribution department and expansion of the parking lot. Lengthening of the runway is the last and only parameter needed to land flights from destinations farther than Kenya and make Malindi airport de facto what it has long been on paper, "international," as the huge sign at the entrance reads.
Runways
The airport has two bitumen runways: Runway 17/35 measures 4,600 feet (1,400 m) long and is 98 feet (30 m) wide which are rehabilitated and always maintained in good conditions.
The Kenya Airports Authority plans to, among others, extend the main runway to the north from the current 1.4km to 2.4km to allow large planes to land with ease. The extension of the main runway will allow direct flights from Europe. The planned expansion of Malindi International Airport in Kilifi county will affect nine villages, Majivuni J.C.C, Kalimani Poa, Majivuni, Ziwani, Bondeni, Furunzi A, Furunzi B, Majivuni B and Mtangani with Compensation for loss of land or property planned to be done promptly based on market rates.
Malindi airport currently occupies 248 acres and needs a minimum of 640 acres to extend the runway and ensure security and safety of the facility. National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) directed Kenya Airports Authority to liaise with the physical service providers to plan for the re-routing and reconnection of electricity, water, sewage, and infrastructures services before project construction commences. The authority further added that any land to be acquired as wayleave for re-routing infrastructure or damage to property should be adequately compensated in compliance with laws.

Kenya - 2.2.7 Wajir International Airport
Airport Overview
Wajir International Airport is a crucial aviation facility located in Wajir Town, Wajir County. It serves as an important gateway to the north-eastern region of the country and plays a vital role in facilitating passenger and cargo transportation. The airport is equipped with a modern terminal building, runway, and navigation systems to support both domestic and international flights.
However, like many airports, Wajir International Airport faces certain bottlenecks and procedural issues that can affect operators and customers. One key bottleneck is stringent security measures due to the Airport’s location within the military camp, while necessary, can sometimes cause delays during the screening process.
The airport has been crucial and has acted as the central point for emergency relief ‘Heli-ops’ (2019) in Wajir, Mandera, Moyale and Garissa.
Effective communication and coordination between airport authorities, airlines, military leadership, and relevant government agencies can help minimize delays and improve overall operational efficiency.
There are no freight companies, but different airlines bring in and out their cargo.

Kenya - 2.3 Road Network
Road Network
Link to the Kenya Roads Map – Kenya Roads Board Website
Link to the Kenya Roads – Kenha Website
According to the Kenya Roads Board (KRB), the road network in Kenya is 161,451 kilometres, which includes 21,583km of trunk roads and is valued at more than KES 1.5 trillion budget. Further, KRB data says the country has 161,451km of classified roads.
Challenges in the road transport:
1. National transport and safety authority is the agency mandated to ensure safe carriageways; however, instances of road accidents are frequent on the main transport corridors due to non-compliance by users.
2. Ineffective/incomplete Modal Split performance of railway transport that puts a strain on the road transport, sometimes due to the different modes also not interlinking properly.
3. Institutional Deficiencies; Transport facilities undermine ownership and management have weak and ineffective structures. Lack of capacity and shortage of resources seriously undermines their capability for good corporate governance, sound decision making and efficient management.
4 An increase in crude oil prices which affects the price of fuel at the pump;
5. Climatic effects that predispose the road infrastructure to unforeseen damages e.g., Floods damaging the roads

Road Security
Security due to armed banditry is a concern in Kenya, particularly along the trade, ‘humanitarian,’ and tourist routes, i.e., Kapenguria - Kakuma - Lokichogio, Garissa - Dadaab - Liboi, Garissa - Wajir - Mandera, and Isiolo - Marsabit sections.
Government security surveillance has improved in the sections between Kapenguria - Lokichogio and Isiolo – Marsabit. Specifically, in Kainuk the government of Kenya has deployed multi-agency unit near the Kainuk Bridge. Some sections are still porous due to banditry attacks, ethnic clashes, and inter-clan conflicts. Truck drivers prefer moving through these sections at night since identifying of cargo trucks for ambush is not that easy in the dark.
While private operators may move unescorted within the UN Phase 3 security areas, the UN vehicles are required to hire escort services from the Kenyan Administration Police, referred to as ‘Askaris’
NB:
Always check with Security agencies e.g., Police Station, Government Administration Office for updates on affected areas
Weighbridges and Axle Load Limits
The axle weight restrictions on the roads of East Africa are very strictly adhered to by the Government agencies to avoid potential damage to the roads. Currently KeNHA operates Eleven (11) static weighbridges and Twenty-Three (23) Virtual weighbridges as well as Mobile Weighbridges on selected locations on the National Trunk Roads. To ensure compliance with the set Axle Load Limits, the Authority implements two sets of Laws i.e., the Traffic Act and the East African Community Vehicle Load Control Act, 2016. The East Africa Community Vehicle Load Control (EACVLCA) 2016 is a Regional Law applicable within the EAC partner states. It harmonized the Axle Load Limits in the seven (7) member states.
EACVLCA has a limited scope of application i.e., along the Regional Trunk Road Network (RTRN) defined in Schedule 1 of the Act. This Regional Law decriminalized overloading whereas the Traffic Act requires a party to be charged in a court of law and is applicable on all the Road Networks within the country except the RTRN.
The law governing the axle weight within Kenya except the Regional Trunk Road Network RTRN is under section 55 (1 & 2) of the Traffic Act, 2012 and the subsequent Legal Notice No. 93, published on 14/06/2013. These Regulations apply to all vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of 3,500 Kg and above. The highlights of the regulations are as below:
Overall Width 2.6 M
Overall, Height 4.3 m from the road surface
Overall length of rigid vehicle 12.5 M
Overall length of articulated vehicles 17.4 M
Overall length of any combination of vehicles is 22.0 M
The allowable axle weights and gross vehicle weight is governed by the type of vehicle and its axle configuration as described on the second and third schedule of the EACVLCA 2016 and vehicle dimensions and axle configuration regulation 2018.
The maximum allowed gross vehicle weight is 56,000 Kg.
Any excess load on the gross or the axle shall attract an overload fee payable to the National Roads Authority.

Kenya - 2.3.1 Border Crossing of Busia
Overview
The Busia border crossing is the main land checkpoint for goods and travellers passing between Kenya and Uganda. The facilities were upgraded in recent years to make it a one-stop border crossing between Busia, Kenya and Busia, Uganda. A vehicle and container scanner are one of the new installations that has hastened the processing time at Busia border points making a total of 500 trucks per day through all agencies. The town of Busia (Kenya) is the capital of Busia County and lies on the direct route between Kampala and Nairobi via Kisumu. Many travellers take a direct bus between the 2 capital cities, which takes 12-13 hours. Individuals crossing the Kenyan-Uganda border are required to have certain documents to do so, including the following:
-
Passport (or national ID for East Africans).
-
Visa (if applicable).
-
Yellow fever vaccination certificate.
Nationals of East African Community (EAC) member states do not need a visa to enter Kenya or Uganda and may also enter using a national ID card in place of their passport. International visitors who meet the Kenyan eVisa requirements can take the convenient option of applying for their visa online, which skips any unnecessary trips to an embassy.
Some of the bottlenecks at the border crossing include Unilateral bans on products, high fees by Agriculture and Food Authority-Kenya, trade information asymmetry, and single lane roads on the Kenya side that stifles cross-border business between Kenya and Uganda via Busia One-Stop Border Posts. There have also been traffic snarl-ups that have been blamed on poor road network and lack of power and internet connectivity at the border point.

Kenya - 2.3.2 Border Crossing of Namanga
Overview
The Namanga border crossing is the main land checkpoint for goods and travellers passing between Kenya and Tanzania. The facilities were upgraded in recent years to make it a one-stop border crossing between Namanga, Kenya and Namanga, Tanzania. The Namanga border crossing between Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania is located about 160 km southeast of Nairobi and 100 km north of Arusha. The Kenyan side of the border is in Kajiado County, while the Tanzanian side is in Longido District. Namanga is one of the major border crossings between the two countries due to its proximity to the two major cities.
Individuals crossing the Kenyan-Tanzania border are required to have certain documents to do so, including the following: 1. Passport (or national ID for East Africans).2. Visa (if applicable). 3.

Kenya - 2.3.3 Border Crossing of Moyale
Overview
The Moyale border crossing is the main land checkpoint for goods and travellers passing between Kenya and Ethiopia. It is situated approximately 780KM North of Nairobi and 775KM South of Addis Ababa and had its facilities upgraded in recent years to make it a one-stop border crossing between Moyale, Kenya and Moyale, Ethiopia. In June 2021, the one stop border post (OSBP) crossing at Moyale began commercial operations. Officials from both countries sit together in one office and clear passengers and cargo, through immigration, customs, revenue collection and health clearance, saving time.
Individuals crossing the Kenyan-Ethiopia OSBP are required to have certain documents to do so, including the following: 1. Passport (or national ID for East Africans).2. Visa (if applicable). 3. Yellow fever vaccination certificate.
At the OSBP, passengers, cargo and vehicles stop once to process border crossing formalities to exit one partner state and enter the other. The border formalities and documentation processing for goods and passengers are carried out in a single clearance hall for exit from one partner state and entry into the adjoining State. If cargo inspection is required, it is done at once through joint inspection involving all interested border agencies from both partner states at the same time and location.

Daily Capacity
A fully functional Moyale OSBP was expected to reduce the border crossing time by at least 30 percent by enabling faster movement of cargo and people. A baseline survey by Trademark East Africa (TMEA) in 2017 indicated that it took on average, 21 hrs and 52 minutes (Kenya-Ethiopia) and 12.5 hrs (Ethiopia-Kenya) for a cargo truck to cross the border.
Customs Clearance
Generally, in a customs clearance process, there are loads of documents to be verified and submitted, either electronically or physically with the consignment.

Kenya - 2.3.4 Border Crossing of Taveta
Overview
The Taveta/Holili One Stop Border Point crossing was the first to commence operations in 2016. It is located between Southern Kenya and Northern Tanzania is located about 264 km South-east of Mombasa (Kenya) and 110 km West of Arusha (Tanzania). The Kenyan side of the border is in Taita-Taveta County, while the Tanzanian side is in Himo Town, Rombo District, Kilimanjaro Region. Taveta is one of the key border crossing points between the two countries due to the border’s proximity to major cities. Operationalising the Taveta/Holili border was expected to increase with the construction of a new Voi-Arusha Road passing through the two border points, stretching the capacity of the then infrastructure and operations thereby increasing delays and costs related to waiting time for import and export processing.
Individuals crossing the Taveta Holili OSBP (One Stop Border Post) are required to have certain documents to do so, including the following: 1. Passport (or national ID for East Africans).2. Visa (if applicable). 3. Yellow fever vaccination certificate. There are separate lanes for cargo trucks and private cars.
At the OSBP, passengers, cargo and vehicles stop once to process border crossing formalities to exit one partner state and enter the other. The border formalities and documentation processing for goods and passengers are carried out in a single clearance hall for exit from one partner state and entry into the adjoining State. If cargo inspection is required, it is done at once through joint inspection involving all interested border agencies from both partner states at the same time and location.

Kenya - 2.3.5 Border Crossing of Illasit
Overview
The Illasit/Tarakea border crossing is the land checkpoint for goods and travellers passing between Kenya and Tanzania. Illasit is a settlement in Kenya's Rift Valley Province near the Kenya-Tanzanian border. It basks in the face and foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro. It is approximately 270 km by road southeast of Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya.
Individuals crossing the Kenyan-Tanzania border are required to have certain documents to do so, including the following: 1. Passport (or national ID for East Africans).2. Visa (if applicable). 3. Yellow fever vaccination certificate. Nationals of East African Community (EAC) member states do not need a visa to enter Kenya or Tanzania and may also enter using a national ID card in place of their passport. International visitors who meet the Kenyan eVisa requirements can take the convenient option of applying for their visa online, which skips any unnecessary trips to an embassy.
Some of bottlenecks at the border crossing includes; Unilateral bans on products, high fees by Agriculture and Food Authority-Kenya, trade information asymmetry and single lane roads on the Kenya side that stifles cross border business between Kenya and Tanzania via Illasit/Tarakea border crossing. There have also been traffic snarl-ups that have been blamed on poor road network and lack of power and internet connectivity at the border point.

Customs Clearance
In a customs clearance process, there are loads of documents to be verified and submitted, either electronically or physically with the consignment. This to help the concerned officials to calculate taxes and duties that are levied on the consignment that is ready to ship. The requirements include; ProForma, Customs packing list, COO (Chief Operating Officer) Certificate (Country of Origin), Customs Invoice, Shipping bill, Export license, Bill of lading, Bill of sight, Letter of credit, Bill of exchange, Export license and Health certificate. Unilateral bans on products, high fees by Agriculture and Food Authority-Kenya, trade information asymmetry and single lane roads on the Kenya side stifle cross border business between Kenya and Tanzania via Namanga One-Stop Border Post. Traffic snarl-ups have also been blamed on poor road network and lack of power and internet connectivity at the border point.

Kenya - 2.3.6 Border Crossing of Lunga Lunga
Overview
The Lunga-Lunga OSBP (One Stop Border Post) is a border station between Kenya and Tanzania, with KRA (Kenya Revenue Authority) and Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) as lead agencies. It is the 2nd busiest border between Kenya and Tanzania after Namanga. Its construction was supported by development partners Trademark East Africa (TMEA) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). After the commencement of operation at the OSBP, the estimated average time for cargo clearance reduced from 48 hours to less than 8 hours, and revenue grew by 51% in the 2021/2022 fiscal year despite the challenges that came with the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the Lunga-Lunga OSBP has not been commissioned but plans are underway. This is being done in close collaboration with the EAC (East African Community) secretariat. Before the establishment of the OSBP, both Kenya and Tanzania were undertaking clearance and verification separately for both imports and exports and Kenya's clearance centre was around 5kms from the border leaving the distance as unmanned land. But after the operations of the OSBP started, it is now located at the border and brought several benefits to the local community. Some of these benefits include faster clearance of goods and cargo, better organization, improved security, better facilities, and infrastructure, improved multi-agency cooperation, and facilitation of small-scale cross-border traders through simplified procedures for low-value goods.
For the OSBP to operate smoothly and facilitate trade, there are several enabling tools that ensure its implementation and full operation. This includes; The East African Community One Stop Border Posts Act, 2016, Physical infrastructure, Political goodwill, Constructive partnerships with the private sector, Border community collaboration, Joint border meetings, County Commissioner service delivery meetings and sensitization through stakeholders' meeting. The partner agencies at the border include KRA, Immigration, KEBS (Kenya Bureau of Standards), KEPHIS (Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service), Port Health, Veterinary Department, Kenya Fisheries Services, Anti-counterfeit Authority, and Agriculture and Food Authority, National Police Service, National Intelligence Service, Kenya Forest Service, Kenya Wildlife Service, Pest Control Products Board (PCPB) and Kenya Nuclear Regulatory Authority (KNRA).
The management of the border is led by Border Management Committee (BMC) chaired by KRA and comprises all PGAs and security agencies and other law enforcement agencies that operate within the border. The BMC coordinates OSBP activities and it meets monthly and on a need basis. The PGAs hold stakeholders' meetings with cross-border traders on a quarterly basis. To handle emerging issues at the OSBP, Joint Border Committee involving Kenya and Tanzania conducts meetings on a quarterly basis. Multi-agency border patrol meetings are also done monthly with rotating lead agencies and joint inspections by all interested parties.

Kenya - 2.3.7 Border Crossing of Isibania
Overview
Isbania, also Isibania, is a town in Migori County of Kenya, at the international border with Tanzania. Approximately 24 kilometres (15 mi), by road, south of Migori, the location of the district headquarters. This is approximately 200 kilometres (124 mi) south of Kisumu, the nearest large city.
The Isibania border point is the main land checkpoint for goods and travellers passing between Kenya and Uganda. The facilities were upgraded in recent years to make it a one-stop border crossing between Isibania, Kenya, and Isibania, Uganda. A vehicle and container scanner are one of the new installations that has hastened the processing time at Isibania border points making a total of 2000 trucks per week through all agencies. Most transit trucks use the border point to deliver commodities to Tororo, Jinja, Kampala, and Nalukolongo. Individuals crossing the Kenyan-Uganda border are required to have certain documents to do so, including the following:
-
Passport (or national ID for East Africans).
-
Visa (if applicable).
-
Yellow fever vaccination certificate.
Nationals of East African Community (EAC) member states do not need a visa to enter Kenya or Uganda and may also enter using a national ID card in place of their passport. International visitors who meet the Kenyan eVisa requirements can take the convenient option of applying for their visa online, which skips any unnecessary trips to an embassy.
Some of the bottlenecks at the border crossing include; Unilateral bans on products, high fees by Agriculture and Food Authority-Kenya, trade information asymmetry, and single-lane roads on the Kenya side that stifles cross-border business between Kenya and Uganda via Isibania One-Stop Border Posts. There have also been traffic snarl-ups that have been blamed on poor road network and lack of power and internet connectivity at the border point.

Kenya - 2.3.9 Border Crossing of Malaba
Overview
Malaba, Kenya is a town in Teso North Sub-County, Busia County, on Kenya's western border with Uganda. It sits across the Malaba River, which forms the international border from Malaba, Uganda. The Malaba border point is the main land checkpoint for goods and travelers passing between Kenya and Uganda. The facilities were upgraded in recent years to make it a one-stop border crossing between Malaba, Kenya, and Malaba, Uganda. A vehicle and container scanner is one of the new installations that has hastened the processing time at Malaba border points making a total of 2000 trucks per week through all agencies.

Customs Clearance
Generally, in a customs clearance process, there are loads of documents to be verified and submitted, either electronically or physically with the consignment. This to help the concerned officials to calculate taxes and duties that are levied on the consignment that is ready to ship. The requirements include;
-
Pro-Forma,
-
Customs packing list,
-
COO Certificate (Country of Origin),
-
Customs Invoice,
-
Shipping bill,
-
Export license,
-
Bill of lading,
-
Bill of sight,
-
Letter of credit,
-
Bill of exchange,
-
Export license.
-
Health certificate.
Unilateral bans on products, high fees by Agriculture and Food Authority-Kenya, trade information asymmetry, and single-lane roads on the Kenya side stifle cross-border business between Kenya and Uganda via Malaba One-Stop Border Posts. Traffic snarl-ups have also been blamed on poor road networks and lack of power and internet connectivity at the border points. Some of the tariffs are (assuming each WFP truck loads 28,000 kg)
-
AFA permit for cereals and pulses – USD 17 per truck

Kenya - 2.4 Railway Assessment
Kenya Railway Assessment
Metre Gauge Railway (MGR) has a total length of 2,052 Kms of rail within Kenya including five branch lines. SGR has total 592 kms of rail network in Kenya.
The MGR network mainline, and branch lines is as below:
-
Mombasa – Nairobi. This network is fully functional and complements SGR in the transportation of Steel products, both local and transit. It also transports petroleum products, conventional cargo, and Caustic soda from Magadi for export.
Railway material is 95lbs rails laid on K-type steel sleepers. Some heavily curved sections are laid with 115lbs rails which are wear resistant due to increased abrasion.
-
Voi – Taveta Branch line. This line is approximately 100km from Voi to Taveta border and it was used for transport of cargo from the Port of Mombasa to the northern side of Tanzania due to the shorter distance.
This line is laid on a mixed rail material of 50lbs, 60lbs and 66lbs German type with variety of suitable fittings and fastenings.
The line is currently not operational due to deferred maintenance on the Kenyan side and serious vandalism and wash ways on the Tanzanian side.
-
Nairobi – Nanyuki line. This branch line is operational and is used in the transportation of fuel to Vivo Nanyuki depot, fertilizer, cereals, and livestock. It also has a passenger service.
The line is laid with 80lbs rail material up to Thika, Delmonte. From here its 50lbs to Nanyuki, hence limiting the type of locomotive that can access this section to Nanyuki.
-
Nairobi – Nakuru – Eldoret – Malaba – Kampala
This line is active and is used for transit conveyances to Uganda, Rwanda, and DRC Congo. At Malaba, there is a KRA approved container holding yard which is owned by KRC. Containers arriving at Malaba by rails are offloaded in the yard to await evacuation by lorries. There is also a parking yard for the lorries at Malaba for trucks awaiting loadings ex-rail.
This section is laid on 80lbs rail materials hence its accessible to huge locomotives. This increases the haulable capacity per train.
-
Nakuru – Kisumu. This branch line is active and is used for cargo destined for Kisumu.
and its periphery. It is also used for cargo connecting the ferry to Port Bell in Uganda.
-
Konza - Magadi. The line branches off from the MSA – NRB mainline at Konza. Its privately owned by Tata Chemicals and it is used in the transportation of mined caustic soda from Magadi soda to the port of Mombasa.
-
Gilgil – Nyahururu. This line is operational but passive.
Challenges facing MGR network.
-
Slow speeds of an average of 35 KPH due to dilapidated railway infrastructure and rolling stock has had negative impact on wagon utilization and turnaround time.
-
Line closure due to accidents and incidences
-
Challenge in sourcing funds for rehabilitation of rail network and revamping of rolling stock, construction of SGR network into the hinterland.
-
Perpetual failure of the diesel locomotives
-
Increasing competition from road transportation who offer closed end to end service unlike railway that requires last mile connection using other modes. other modes.
-
Non-aligned development of rail transport in the East Africa region.
Planned improvements.
-
Rehabilitation of the MGR line west of Nairobi. This involves changing of worn-out rails and steel sleepers, ballasting and geometry correction.
-
Acquisition of new high capacity rolling stock of carriage capacity of up to seventy tons.
-
Acquisition of new locomotives
-
Connecting the SGR to the region. Discussions are ongoing.
Meter Guage Railway
MGR has a fleet of forty-three locomotives and 2850 wagons of different configurations. These includes flat wagons, covered wagons for bagged products, oil and petroleum tanks, hoppers, and High sided wagons for conventional cargo, among others.
An MGR train typically can haul approximately seven hundred tons of payload. In the case of light consignments, this can extend to about forty wagons to allow for loop crossings.
All the ICDs of Nairobi, Naivasha, Eldoret, Kisumu and Malaba are served with MGR line. The MGR line also connects to the Link Span in Kisumu to enable loading of wagons into the ferry. Currently, the Port lines at the Kisumu Port is being upgraded from the current fifty pounds to eighty pounds to allow for larger locomotives.
STANDARD GAUGE RAILWAY
The SGR construction was undertaken due to the requirement for high speeds, increased capacity, reliable and safe network. The MGR service, then under the Concessionaire Rift Valley Railways, had deteriorated and did not meet the Service Level Agreements. This poor service led to a high rail-road modal split that created a mess on the roads.
The SGR nodes includes Port Reitz yard, which is loading and marshalling yard with fifteen lines within the Port of Mombasa, Nairobi Yard, and ICD and finally Naivasha ICD.
The length of the line is 472KM from Mombasa to Nairobi and 120KM from Nairobi to Naivasha ICD. At Naivasha- ICD, there are both the SGR and MGR lines, both spanned by 2 Rail Mounted Gantries. This enables seamless container transhipment from the SGR wagons to the MGR wagons and vice versa as well as from the lorries onto the wagons. After this transhipment, the consignments are then cleared for onwards movement to Malaba border and beyond.
SGR capacity
The SGR system has forty-six locomotives and 1,600 rolling stocks of different configurations.
A rake of SGR train can convey a maximum of 108 TEUS in one run operating a speed of 80KPH for freight and 120KPH for passenger train. Currently the SGR freight service do an average of eight trains daily from Port Reitz to Nairobi with a transit time of about 9 hours. This is in addition to six passenger trains daily from both directions.
For more information on government contact details, please see the following link: HQ staff will input a link to section 4.1 Government Contact List here.
Attributes of SGR operations
-
Speed. The SGR freight train operates at a speed of 80KPH. This makes it possible to cover the distance between Mombasa and Nairobi in 9hr to 10 hrs. There are thirty-three stations between Msa and Nrb, of which eight are passenger stations. The passenger train operations speed is 120KPH.
-
Reliability. The SGR service has a reliability index of close to 95%.
-
Operational safety. The safety level of SGR can be described as commendable. Since commencement of the SGR operations, both passenger and Freight, there has not been any mainline accident. This is because of the robust inspection and maintenance regime adopted by the SGR operator.
-
Technology. SGR has deployed a good measure of modern railway technology to ensure efficiency. It has a dedicated power line to power the massive telecommunication infrastructure, two-line fibre optic cable, ETC0 train management system, axle counters and a robust train signalling system.
-
Training. SGR has invested a huge amount of money staff training and development, both locally as well as in China. This is to ensure competence and minimum room for error.

2.5 Kenya Waterways Assessment
Most of the goods in Kenya are land transported; there is almost no role for internal waterway vectors with the only exception of Kisumu Port, on Lake Victoria. Lake Victoria ferries operate from the port link the railway to Mwanza, Bukoba, Entebbe, Port Bell and Jinja. The Kenya Railways operates the inland waterway service on Lake Victoria for the movement of both freight and passengers.
The Port of Kisumu is located on the eastern corner of Lake Victoria and connects with Kendu Bay, Kuwur, Homa Bay, Mbita and Mfangano. The optimum container capacity is 200 TEUs of 40 mt per day. The berth is 15 m with a draught of 3 m maximum. Operating hours of the port (acceptance of cargo) are from 08:00 to 18:00 hrs per day.
At the water border entry point of Kisumu, customs entry into Kenya documents can be established, though it is advisable that all required documentation for customs clearance be ready, by the client or its appointed C&F agent, prior to departure of cargo from the point of origin so to avoid possible cargo clearance delays.
Kenyan Railways operates one wagon ferry between Jinja and Port Bell (Uganda), Mwanza, Musoma (Tanzania) and Kisumu for interstate movement of wagons and trucks, supplementary to rail and road traffic through Malaba.
Company Information
For more information, please see the following link: 4.4 Kenya Port and Waterways Companies Contact List

Vessel Specifications
Use of wagon ferries of about 1,200 mt capacity and passenger
vessels.
Weather and Other Constraints
Provided that wagons are weatherproof there are no weather
constraints. Navigation equipment has not been working since 2004
so operations depend on vessel's navigation aids. Problems
related to the presence of hyacinths (fast growing lake weed) in
the water obstruct lake transport.
Kenya - 2.6 Storage Assessment
National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) is one of the institutions that offers storage facilities in Kenya. NCPB is (state corporation), a Statutory Board under the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development. NCPB was established by merging of The Maize and Produce Board and The Wheat Board on 1st July 1979. In 1985 NCPB was made a corporate body through enactment of NCPB Act CAP 338.
The NCPB plays a significant role in Kenya, as an agent of the government in the procurement, management, distribution, and sale of Strategic Food Reserves (SFR) and famine relief stocks. The Board also handles subsidized fertilizer on behalf of the government, and trades commercially in grains, provides grain post-harvest services, deals in farm inputs like seeds, and offers clearing and forwarding services.
Storage facilities in terms of capacity are generally not a problem in Kenya as the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) have conventional warehouses, both in the producing agricultural counties as well as the more food deficit counties areas, these conventional warehouses are present at 103 locations across Kenya. The storage facilities by NCPB are complemented by privately owned warehouses that are strategically spread in the country.
NCPB is endowed with storage facilities that customers can access through leasing contracts, Warehousing Receipt System (WRS), and establishing partnerships. There are two types of facilities: Conventional stores for bagged grain or other commodities and Silo bins for storage of bulk grain.
Grain handling through the silos is mechanized and fitted with a weighbridge. The cost of hhandling range between Kshs 100 to 200 per metric tonne and weighing is Kshs 500 per truck. There are rail sidings at all silo complexes (Nairobi, Nakuru, Narok, Eldoret, Kitale, Moi's Bridge, Bungoma and Kisumu) and at most major conventional stores.
NCPB provides fumigation and spraying services on a commercial basis and are experienced and well equipped to handle, store, and use chemicals approved by the Pest Control Products Board (PCPB) in Nairobi. NCPB facilities are also equipped with wooden pallets, firefighting equipment, tarpaulins, conveyors, adequate man-power and spacious storage yards that can be used to construct/erect Mobile Storage Units on request.
Storage Facilities owned by the National Cereals and Produce Board in Kenya per County.

Private Sector Storage
Due to the country’s main agricultural focus and large aid presence, warehouse capacity throughout the country should not pose a challenge. Many NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) and Aid Organizations use both private and public contractors to address their storage needs.
Temporary storage facilities such as Mobile Storage Units (MSUs) should always be considered as an option during emergencies.
Warehouses are currently used by WFP (World Food Programme) and its Cooperating Partners in the field.

COLD CHAIN
Kenya is known as one of the biggest exporters of cut flowers in the world, accounting for 38% of imports into the European Union (EU). While this strategic industry has developed advanced cold chain systems, those established for other temperature-controlled foods such as fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy have been more ad-hoc. There is a need for specific links within the cold chains from postharvest to retail, including knowledge of scalable designs and technology. The cold chain opportunities in Kenya include pre-cooling, refrigerated storage, and refrigerated transport.
There are three key issues limiting cold chain performance: (1) Insufficient cold chain capacity. (2) Lack of the latest technology or ‘optimal’ equipment. (3) Inadequate temperature monitoring and maintenance systems. The performance of cold chains has been hampered by massive quantities of outdated equipment, which fails to provide the protective benefit of more recent designs. Refrigerated facilities are available in the main commercial hubs in Kenya. In an emergency renting refrigerated trucks to face their needs seems to be the best option.
Private owned Cold Chain facilities
NB. There are other private warehouses in Major Hubs that can be leased on demand basis.
Kenya - 2.7 Milling Assessment
Milling capacity in Kenya is well developed with a total milling capacity estimated at 3,500 Mt/24 hours. Most millers are organised into associations. Large scale millers are under the umbrella of The Cereal Millers Association (CMA) that accounts for 40%. There are also Micros Small and Medium Scale millers that are members of different associations under the umbrella of Grain Mill Owners Association (GMOA).
CMA was established in the year 2000 and officially registered in 2007. The Association has a membership of more than 35 large grain milling companies. CMA represents about 40% of total grain milling capacity for maize in Kenya and over 80% of the wheat milling capacity. All Millers are spread throughout the country with high concentration in Mombasa, Nairobi, Nakuru, Thika and Eldoret.
Millers Association were formed with the objective of lobbying on policy issues, enhance collaborations between different millers in order to enhance cohesiveness and identify solutions for the challenges facing the milling industry , strengthen partnerships and collaborations with the government, development partners and other stakeholders to drive the flour milling business to the next level, strengthen self-regulation among SMSMs in Kenya, seek support from partners and members to find lasting solutions for the problems facing millers and be a forum for advocacy.
Other key issues include import duties, cyclical; maize shortages, food safety and fortification and pool resources to address affecting millers, resource limitation and capacity.
An assessment was done by the World Food Programme between February and July 2023. The objective of the assessment was to determine the capacity of local wheat millers. Several mills were sampled, and two mills met the defined criteria. The criteria included:
-
Unga Holdings Limited (Est. 1956)
Unga Group Ltd is the largest and oldest grain miller in Kenya which commenced business in the early 1900’s and they are the only miller currently listed on the Nairobi Stock Exchange.

Kenya - 3.1 Fuel
Fuel Overview
History of Petroleum Regulation in Kenya
The Petroleum Act CAP 116 was enacted in 1948 (with a major revision in 1972) and was the major law governing the petroleum sub-sector until 2006. The petroleum sub-sector was highly regulated with price controls for the main products. When the sector was liberalized in 1994, various challenges were experienced such as proliferation of substandard petroleum facilities and products. To address the challenge, Sessional Paper No. 4 of 2004 set pace for a new law to regulate petroleum sector, hence the Energy Act No. 12 which was enacted in 2006. This Act established the now defunct Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).
On 22nd March 2019, the Energy Act No. 1 of 2019 and Petroleum Act No. 2 of 2019 were passed into law. This effectively repealed the Energy Act No. 12 of 2006. The new laws established the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority with an added mandate of regulating the upstream and midstream petroleum subsectors.
Infrastructure
Petroleum supply chain is supported by the following critical infrastructure:
-
Petroleum Receipt and back-loading jetties:
-
Kipevu Oil Jetty (KOT): This is located at Kipevu area, Mombasa County and handles large petroleum vessels. Product is then transferred to the government owned Kipevu Oil Storage Facility (KOSF).
-
Shimanzi Oil Terminal (SOT): This is used for importation of petroleum by small vessels.
-
Mbaraki: This is a privately owned facility.
-
Africa Gas & Oil Limited (AGOL): This is a dedicated LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) facility built under concessionary terms from the Kenya Ports Authority. It is connected to a common user manifold. The only storage depot connected to it is the AGOL mainland facility.
-
Kisumu Oil Jetty: This is located on the shores of Lake Victoria and is used for the exportation of petroleum products to the countries bordering the lake and into the Eastern DRC and South Sudan.
-
Petroleum storage tanks: Kenya’s total storage capacity is over 1,500,000,000 litres spread out across the country. Over 700,000,000 litres of this are operated by the Kenya Pipeline Company as primary and intermediate storage.
-
Petroleum pipelines: The pipeline system consists of trunk lines and distribution lines from Mombasa running through Nairobi to the Western Kenya towns of Nakuru, Eldoret and Kisumu totalling to about 1,804km.
-
Retail networks: Kenya has over 2,762 retail stations. The stations are classified as Tier 1, 2, 3 and 4 depending on land area, services offered and storage capacity.
Licensees
Petroleum licensees are classified into the following categories:
-
Importers of Petroleum Products (Currently totalled at 94 licensees)
-
Storage depots (Currently totalled at 27 licensees)
-
LPG Storage and Filling Plants (Currently totalled at 65 licensees)
-
Pipeline transportation (1 licensed pipeline transporter)
-
Refineries (1 licensed refinery)
-
Wholesalers and Exporters (Currently totalled at 832 licensees)
-
Transporters (by road for LPG) (Currently totalled at 94 licensees)
-
Retailers (Currently totalled at 42 licensees)
-
Petroleum Tankers (Currently totalled at 798 licensees)
-
Petroleum Drivers (Currently totalled at 432 licensees)
-
Storage of Crude Oil (There is only one licensed facility)
Some of the companies operate in all the above licensable activities. Observance of fair competition is regulated in liaison with the Competition Authority of Kenya.

The Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited is owned on a 50:50 equity holding between the government and India’s Essar Energy who acquired a 50% stake in September 2009 from Shell, BP & Chevron
The Kenya Petroleum Refineries Limited, Kenya Pipeline Company Limited, National Oil Corporation of Kenya (www.nockenya.co.ke) and Rift Valley Railways represent the government’s presence in the petroleum industry.
-
The domestic demand for various petroleum fuels on average stands at 2.5 million tonnes per year, all of it imported, either as crude oil for processing at the Kenya Petroleum Refineries Ltd or as refined petroleum products. The Kenya Petroleum Refinery at Mombasa has a current capacity of only 1.6 million tonnes per year.
-
The Mombasa refinery currently processes Murban and Arab Medium crude from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia
-
Processing heavier crude oil from Uganda would require additional spending on technology and equipment, but it would secure supplies closer to the refinery and reduce transportation cost.

Fuel Transportation
Fuel distribution within Kenya is by truck and by pipeline from Mombasa to Nairobi and Eldoret
The railways do offer a service but due to the poor condition of the rail network this is not used as much.
Fuel distribution by road is well organised but fuel shortages do occur due to the fuel pipeline having insufficient capacity to meet demand.
Kenya Pipeline corporation is currently building a new, 20-inch pipeline to replace the existing line. The new pipeline would be able to carry 287,000 barrels per day by 2023.

Kenya - 3.2 Transporters
The current road transport capacity of the country resides in private contractors, most of them based in Mombasa, however for WFP Transporters a majority have their administrative offices in Nairobi but are also very well positioned in Mombasa.
The Aid and Relief cargo continues to be a reliable source of cargo for transport actors as the port of Mombasa continues to position itself as the premier gateway for cargo within the region particularly the Northern Corridor.
Major investments have also been witnessed among the different players with the industry players being agile enough to shift to different cargo considerations to suit current need. A good example is upon the discovery of crude oil in Northern Kenya, it is a local company that was able to sufficiently haul the entire consignment.
In short, the commercial transport sector is robust and depending on the right incentive can mobilise the required capacity to deliver as required.
WFP Kenya does not have any dedicated fleet in Kenya but relies on their contracted commercial transporters who in turn when needed subcontract this capacity.
Even though the road transport of the country is one of the best in the region, availability of vectors may be influenced in certain period of the year by bulky delivery of goods: it is the case for fertilizers delivery in February/March and July/August.
For more information on transport company contact details, please see the following link: 4.8 Transporter Contact List.

Kenya - 3.3 Manual Labour Costs
The Employment Act 2007 provides for, among others, basic rights and duties in employment, employer-employee relationship, protection of wages, termination and dismissal and protection of children from child labour. Manual labour is widely available in Kenya with satisfactory level of skills and competencies, given the average level of education in the country. Casual workers are engaged only on urgent short-term tasks not exceeding three months, as stipulated in the Employment Act (2007). The Casual Workers are hired on piece rate, time rate jobs and should be paid in accordance with statutory wages Regulations Orders issued by the Government from time to time.
According to the law, an employer should not require or permit any of his employees to engage in the manual handling or transportation of a load which by reason of its weight is likely to cause the employee to suffer bodily injury.
The Central Organization of Trade Unions Kenya (COTU-K) works to protect and improve the rights and welfare of all workers – including people with disabilities. It facilitates the disputes settlements between members of trade unions and their employers or between the trade unions and their members or employees of one union and employees of another union, or between two or more trade unions.
In the table attached minimum wages for labours are listed.

Kenya’s communication sector led by The Ministry of Information, Communications and The Digital Economy (MOIC-DE) has responsibility for formulating, administering, managing, and developing the Information, Broadcasting and Communication policy.
The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) is mandated to license all communications systems and services in the country. In executing this and its other responsibilities, CA is guided by the provisions of the relevant statutes, including the Kenya Information and Communications Act, 1998 and the Kenya Communications Regulations 2001. Commercial telecommunications licensees are authorized to set up telecommunications systems and/or to provide telecommunications services to third parties in accordance with the license terms and conditions. CA issues commercial licenses on a first-come-first-served basis and the turn-around time is 135 days. The Authority has in place a Unified Licensing Framework (ULF), which is technology and service neutral. The ULF market is structured into three main licenses: 1. Network Facilities Provider. 2.Application Service Provider. 3.Content Service Provider.
CA also issues licences for postal and courier services. The Postal Corporation of Kenya was established by an Act of Parliament (PCK Act 1998) and operates as a commercial public enterprise. The Corporation’s mandate includes provision of accessible, affordable, and reliable postal services to all parts of Kenya as public postal license whereby communication through the post office forms part of the basic human right as is enshrined in the 1948 United Nations Charter. Its mission is to deliver innovative superior communication, Distribution and Financial (Payment) solutions. The Post Office has a total of 623 outlets spread across the country.
Mobile Telecommunication Industry in Kenya
The mobile telecommunications industry in Kenya has witnessed immense growth. There are profiles of five companies, including Safaricom, which holds the highest market share for mobile data subscriptions, and other major players such as Airtel Networks, Telkom Kenya, Jamii Telecom, and Finserve (Equitel).
To register sim cards / mobile numbers in Kenya, one is required to provide an original and a copy of the national identity card, passport, or alien card. A subscriber is only allowed to own not more than 10 sim cards. There are numerous data plans easily available as the providers compete for the market's dominance.

Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)
Accessing the internet in Kenya is easy. Broadband is widely used, particularly in the main cities, at 13.7 megabits per second. Kenya's average data connection speed ranks as the 14th fastest in the world, which is also double the speed of the global average data connection speed. In 2022, 85.2 percent of Kenya's population was connected to the internet, according to World Stats (IWS).
Concerns in Mobile Financial Services (MFS) regulation in Kenya include interoperability in view of a dominant Mobile Network Operator (MNO), and transparency in terms of costing of the services. MNOs also play a double role of being the providers of the access channel especially USSD and as competitors of other providers of mobile payments. To mitigate against the highlighted concerns, the regulators have put in place short term and long-term measures. The short-term measures include the implementation of cooperation framework amongst the regulators and moral suasion. In the long-term, it is envisaged that a specialized agency to regulate the sector, the Financial Services Authority, will be formed through the enactment of the relevant legislation.

Digital Infrastructure
According to the Kenya Digital Masterplan 2022-2032, Kenya currently boasts of being one of the most connected countries on the Eastern Coast of Africa. There are six submarine cables, namely TEAMS (5.2TB), EASSY (27.4TB), SEACOM (12TB), DARE (36TB), PEACE (192TB), and LION2 (12.33TB), that offer connectivity to the rest of the world. The Government's network is connected to the international broadband highway through TEAMS, in which the government holds a 20% share (1.04TB). The government has utilized its capacity in TEAMS by activating an internet capacity of 10 Gbps to serve its needs.
Regarding National Connectivity, over the last ten (10) years, the government has constructed approximately 9000km of terrestrial fibre, extending to the sub-county level, connecting key government institutions and offices to provide government services through the National Optic Fibre Backbone Infrastructure Project (NOFBI). Telecommunications companies such as Safaricom, Airtel, Jamii Telcom, and Telkom Liquid have also built fibre infrastructure.
3.5 Kenya Food and Additional Suppliers
Kenya Food Suppliers, Accommodation and Other Markets
For information on contact details, please see the following link:
4.2.9 Kenya Additional Service Provision Contact List
Main Food Suppliers
WFP Kenya has a unit providing local food purchase that may provide quick food response in case of emergency.
Such commodities should be purchased carefully and one should not consider it for really bulky quantities, as it may negatively influence the overall country food availability
Accommodation
As said elsewhere Kenya should not represent a big challenge under the point of view of accommodation availability. Commercial compounds are available all over the country as well as hostelling solutions.
Additional Operational Support
Many kind of operational support are available in the country.
Kenya - 3.5.1 Food Suppliers
Overview
The ability to procure food in the Kenyan depends on the availability and prices of the food commodities available in the markets. The foods in the markets are either imported or locally produced. During failed rain seasons, imported food commodities dominating the markets are mostly imported and their prices are likely to be higher due to inflationary trends mainly due to fall in value of the local currency against the major currencies like the US dollar.
Competition in the Kenyan food markets is high pitting large suppliers and importers against small traders mostly dealing with locally production.
Local food production is not able to meet local food demands as agriculture is heavily reliant on rain-fed systems, which are vulnerable to droughts and floods. This has led to frequent crop failures, which in turn have contributed to food shortages and high food prices. The strategy for achieving food security has been two pronged: 1. The Government supports efforts to increase agricultural productivity through development and application of technology and strengthening of extension services. 2. The Government supports purchase and storage of Strategic Grain Reserves (SGR).
Kenyan buys more than 80% of what is consumed with more than 15% of food consumed by households being what they produce. Food purchases are highest among households living in urban areas where at least 93.5%of food is bought with Nairobi and Mombasa cities leading the way. None of the 47 counties does a third of food consumed by households come from their own production, while only 10 counties do at least a quarter of food consumed come from household production. Nationally, food consumed from purchases accounts for 82.5% of food consumed. Only 7 counties, Elgeyo Marakwet (31,2%), Nyandarua (30.9%), Homabay (29.2%), Nandi (27.7%), Kisii (27.3%), West Pokot (26.2%) and Bomet (25.9%) have homegrown food consumption above a quarter of food consumed.
Estimated maize production decreased from 36.7 million bags in 2021 to 34.3 million bags in 2022, similarly tea production decreased from 537,800 tonnes in 2021 to 535,000 tonnes in 2022 due to low rainfall in tea growing areas. Additionally, volume of marketed milk declined from 801.9 million litres in 2021 to 764.3 million litres in 2022, largely due to drought leading to shortage of fodder for livestock.
As agricultural output has declined, rate of food importation has risen, increasing the rate at which households must buy what to eat. For example, maize import has increased by 50% from 2018 to 2023 reaching 793,751 tonnes in 2022 while Rice import has increased from 599,339 tonnes to 678,088 in the same period.

Kenya - 3.7 Waste Management and Recycling Infrastructure Assessment
Overview
In Kenya, waste collection is a multifaceted process involving various stakeholders and methods. It involves households/organizations sorting waste into categories like organic, recyclable, and non-recyclable. Municipal and private companies collect these separated wastes using trucks on set routes. Urban areas see informal "waste pickers" collecting items like plastic, glass, and paper for recycling. Challenges like limited infrastructure, irregular schedules, and low public awareness about proper waste disposal continue, affecting the efficiency of waste management.
Waste Management and Recycling Regulations in Kenya
-
The Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA), 1999: This is the principal law regulating environmental management in Kenya, including waste management. It establishes NEMA and empowers it to regulate waste management, pollution control, and environmental impact assessments. Refer:https://www.nema.go.ke/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24&Itemid=163
-
Sustainable Waste Management Act, 2022-It gives a comprehensive framework for sustainable waste management in Kenya, involving extended producer responsibility, proper labelling and handling of products, cooperation between different levels of government, and various measures to reduce waste and promote recycling.
Refer: http://kenyalaw.org:8181/exist/kenyalex/actview.xql?actid=No.%2031%20of%202022
-
Environmental Management and Co-ordination (Waste Management) Regulations, 2006: These regulations provide specific guidelines for the collection, transportation, storage, treatment, and disposal of solid waste in Kenya.
Refer:https://www.nema.go.ke/images/Docs/Regulations/Waste%20Management%20Regulations-1.pdf
Waste Management and Recycling Service Providers
In Kenya, waste management and recycling services are provided by a combination of government agencies and private companies. The key players involved in waste management and recycling include:
-
Government Agencies
National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) is the principal government agency responsible for overseeing and coordinating all environmental management activities in Kenya. They play a significant role in waste management regulation, policy development, and environmental enforcement. Please follow link below for more information: https://www.nema.go.ke/images/Docs/Regulations/Waste%20Management%20Regulations-1.pdf
County Governments: Waste management responsibilities have been devolved to county governments in Kenya. Each county has its own Department of Environment or similar body responsible for waste management within its jurisdiction. These departments develop and implement waste management strategies aligned with national policies.
-
Private Companies
Private companies play a crucial role in waste management and recycling services in Kenya. The roles of these companies are classified as follows: Private Waste Collection Companies, Recycling Companies, Waste-to-Energy solution Companies that generate electricity or other forms of energy, informal Waste Pickers and NGOs and Community-Based Organizations. Below is a list of major waste management service providers in Kenya.

Status of Landfills in Kenya
Waste in Kenya is frequently disposed of in open dumpsites or informal landfills. Like many other countries, Kenya encounters challenges in waste management, particularly in the administration of landfills. The precise count of landfills in Kenya can fluctuate. However, the country has been actively striving to shift from open dumping sites to engineered sanitary landfills that adhere to higher environmental standards. The Sustainable Waste Management Bill, 2019 mandates the closure of open and uncontrolled dumpsites and the expansion of the market for recycled products. Notably, the Dandora dumpsite in Nairobi is recognized as the most prominent in the country and ranks among the largest unregulated landfills in Africa.
The management of landfills in Kenya is overseen by various entities, including local government authorities, county governments, and waste management companies.
National Government is responsible for crafting standards, including classification, licensing, and engineering guidelines for various landfill categories. They formulate regulations that require either public entities or licensed materials' recovery facilities to conduct landfill activities, facilitated through licenses, contracts, or concessions. The national government also addresses special waste conditions, such as e-waste, asbestos, radioactive, and hazardous waste, setting stipulations for permits, handling protocols, and disposal methods. They establish operational guidelines for overall landfill management, encompassing operations, automation, and general oversight.
County Governments undertakes specific roles: ensuring that landfills exclusively handle residual waste, establishing engineered landfills within their jurisdiction (except in inter-county or county economic bloc agreements), developing frameworks for public-private partnerships and concessions to optimize landfill management, implementing landfill fees to discourage waste disposal in landfills and dumpsites, and localizing national landfilling guidelines and regulations for effective application within their administrative boundaries. This comprehensive strategy is designed to achieve efficient landfill management, mitigate environmental impacts, and promote responsible waste disposal practices across Kenya.

Waste Management and Recycling Challenges in Kenya
Waste management and recycling in Kenya face several significant challenges, which can hinder effective waste disposal practices, environmental protection, and sustainable resource management. Some of the major challenges include:
-
Lack of Infrastructure: Inadequate waste collection, disposal, and recycling facilities result in open dumping and uncontrolled landfills.
-
Low Public Awareness: Limited understanding of proper waste management leads to improper disposal habits.
-
Informal Waste Sector: Challenges faced by waste pickers hinder efficient recycling practices.
-
Segregation Issues: Poor waste segregation at the source makes recycling less effective.
-
Funding Constraints: Insufficient funding hampers the development of waste management infrastructure.
-
Recycling Market Challenges: Lack of robust markets for recycled materials affects sustainability.
-
Plastic Pollution: High levels of single-use plastics contribute to environmental pollution.
-
Landfill Mismanagement: Poorly managed landfills lead to contamination and health risks.
-
Urbanization Impact: Rapid urban growth increases waste generation pressure.
-
Hazardous Waste Handling: Inadequate management of hazardous waste poses risks.
-
Illegal Dumping: Dumping waste illegally harms the environment and public health.
Hazardous Waste Disposal
Hazardous waste in Kenya includes substances like oils/water, hydrocarbons/water mixtures, emulsions, and explosive or flammable materials. Kenya's approach to hazardous waste disposal is guided by stringent regulations, emphasizing safe handling from creation to disposal. Operators generating hazardous waste are required to secure an Environmental Impact Assessment License (EIA license), highlighting the nation's commitment to responsible waste management.
Furthermore, hazardous waste generators ensure container security and labelling. Containers must be securely sealed and labelled in both English and Kiswahili, providing essential information for safe handling and disposal.
Detailed specifications for container labels include waste identity, generator's contact details, composition, storage guidelines, and active ingredient percentages. Warning/caution statements and recognizable symbols alert individuals to hazards, with mandatory first aid measures and medical assistance contacts. Refer: https://www.nema.go.ke/images/Docs/Selelah_OilandGas/Waste%20Management%20Guidelines%20for%20O&G%20sector_120320-min.pdf
Non-Hazardous Waste Disposal
The disposal procedures for non-hazardous waste in Kenya adhere to the Waste Management Regulations, ensuring responsible waste management. Waste generators are mandated to collect, segregate, and properly dispose of waste according to the provided guidelines.
To guarantee proper disposal, waste generators must transfer waste exclusively to licensed entities for transportation and disposal, preventing improper waste handling.
Additionally, the regulations emphasize that waste generators must integrate anti-pollution technology for waste treatment at their premises, based on the best available practices. Industrial waste cannot be disposed of until treated according to established methodology. This approach underscores Kenya's commitment to sustainable waste management practices and environmental protection.
