We have 50 oil exploration blocks across 4 sedimentary basins covering about 485,000 km². The Lamu Basin is the largest at around 261,000 km², followed by the Tertiary Rift, Anza Basin, and Mandera Basin. I hope the refinery catalyzes the beginning of intentional exploration.

The U.S.–Kenya Critical Supply Chains Conference marked a pivotal moment in advancing bilateral economic cooperation.

We are pleased to share the Report and Policy Recommendations from the session, which outline an actionable roadmap for deepening U.S.–Kenya economic ties, strengthening the business environment to enable growth & investment, and building resilient supply chains that drive shared prosperity.

Follow the link to access the report: https://t.co/GqmdVPqksq

While the Mining Act (2016) and subsequent updates provide a solid regulatory foundation, targeted reforms are required to move Kenya from a marginal mining contributor to a globally competitive hub.

The conference identified the following key policy recommendations:

1. Strengthening Transparency, Revenue Sharing, and the Social License to Operate
2. Formalizing Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) through Coexistence Frameworks
3. Incentivizing Beneficiation through Energy-Linked Industrial Policy
4. Establishing Open-Access Geological Data Infrastructure
5. Introducing Research & Innovation (R&I) Tax Credits for Mining Partnerships
6. Operationalizing Mining Revenues within the Sovereign Wealth Fund Framework
7. Integrating Mining with the National Carbon Registry
8. Reforming Strategic Mineral Licensing
9. Strengthening Implementation of Local Content Regulations
10. Deepening U.S.–Kenya Strategic Collaboration

Turning this potential into prosperity will require the private sector and the U.S.–Kenya bilateral partnership to move together with clarity and purpose.

AmCham remains committed to championing reforms that improve the investment climate and ensuring that the progress made at the conference translates into tangible outcomes.

We encourage you to read the full report, share it within your networks, and contact Derrick at [email protected] to explore how we can collectively advance these priorities.

Let's build on the momentum.

The theme of the Seventh Session of United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA7) is “Advancing Sustainable Solutions for a Resilient Planet” which focuses on strengthening multilateral environmental action to address global challenges such as pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change, unsustainable consumption and production, and emerging environmental risks - PS Dr Ng'eno #NewsWatch #UNEA7

@citizentvkenya @TrevorOmbija @TrevorOmbija...General Question:
Most part of Nairobi CBD has no lights at night fall and Traffic lights around CBD and estates are not working....what is the security apparatus doing to correct this??

[planetGOLD Kenya @PlanetgoldK]

Over the past week, @PlanetgoldK project officially handed over six sites to contractors for construction of mercury-free gold processing demonstration sites. The sites are strategically located in key Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM) areas... 🧵

The planetGOLD Kenya initiative holds significant importance in promoting sustainable and responsible artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) practices. This initiative is not only critical for environmental conservation but also for improving livelihoods and fostering economic growth in mining communities.

I'm honoured to have co-chaired with UNDP Kenya's Evelyn Koech the Project Steering Committee (PSC) virtual meeting for the IMKA Gold Kenya Project, where we reaffirmed our commitment to fast-track deliverables while maintaining the project’s commitment to sustainability and empowerment of the artisanal miners.

[planetGOLD Kenya @PlanetgoldK]

Together, we can build a future where every woman and girl has the tools, respect, and opportunities to shine. 💛

This #IWD2025, let’s #AccelerateAction for #GenderEquality!

At @PlanetgoldK we’re committed to creating equal opportunities for women in the ASGM sector.Through education & advocacy, we’re breaking barriers and empowering women to thrive in a traditionally male-dominated field

[UNDP Kenya @UNDPKenya]

Thank you, @psmining_ke and @ElijahGMwangi, for highlighting these. At UNDP Kenya, we remain fully committed to sustainable mining reforms. We stand with our stakeholders in driving lasting improvements in safety, health, and community livelihoods.

With support, artisanal & small-scale gold miners can use cleaner methods that help safeguard #biodiversity

Under the #MinamataConvention on Mercury, our programme led by @UNEP & funded by @theGEF is working w/responsible miners like these to #MakeMercuryHistory

[State Dept For Environment & Climate Change @EnviClimateC_Ke]

This will be achieved through provision of technical assistance, technology transfer, establishment of public private partnerships and facilitating access to financing for the purchase of mercury-free processing equipment.

IMKA GOLD is a GEF-6 project implemented by @UNDPKenya and executed by the Ministry of Environment with the aim of enhancing the productivity of artisanal gold miners in Kakamega, Vihiga, Migori, and Narok Counties.
