Our historic support in Kenya – such as the Public Health Emergency Operations Centre – has been at the heart of Kenya’s Covid-19 response. The UK already supports the most vulnerable people in Kenya, including the 16 million living in poverty, especially women and people living with disabilities. In the context of Covid-19, they offer the potential to help young Kenyans whose jobs and income have suffered. That is why the UK is keeping goods flowing in and out of the country, which helps Kenyan businesses (and thus the wider economy). We’ve worked together to tackle shared threats before, and will continue to do so in the face of Covid-19.
