Diaspora Engagement

Last updated on Jul 28, 2026

Kenyans Abroad. One Nation. One Future.

No matter where you live—North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East or Africa—you remain an important part of Kenya's future.

The Green African Party (GAP) believes that the Kenyan diaspora is one of the country's greatest strategic assets. Through your knowledge, professional expertise, investments, innovation and global networks, you have the power to transform Kenya's economy, strengthen democracy and promote sustainable development.

We invite you to become part of a movement committed to building a food-secure, environmentally sustainable, economically inclusive and prosperous Kenya.

Together, we can shape the future.
