EU stands with Kenya at this difficult time

The European Union’s decision to support Kenya with EUR 300 million (Sh35 billion) is Europe’s statement of friendship and partnership in these difficult global times. We are now starting to allocate these funds to specific measures. They are part of an overall Sh1.75 trillion (EUR 15 billion) package that the EU mobilised on April 6 to help its partners in developing countries face a virus that affects us all. This is only the start because the EU and its member states will be providing additional support to Kenya in the coming weeks and months.
