The new partnership emphasises the economic potential of both countries, particularly the East African market. 

Kenya’s economy, worth over USD 400 billion (Sh52 billion), stands as a gateway to East Africa, with a growing population of over 300 million people. 

The UK-Kenya trade is valued at £1.8 billion (Sh218 billion), and British companies are some of the largest employers in Kenya.

The two countries aim to enhance these numbers with a targeted £1 billion (Sh177 billion) investment in sectors such as export finance, engineering, and defence manufacturing, creating opportunities for both Kenyan and UK citizens.

A flagship project under the partnership is the Nairobi Railway City (NRC), set to be worth £150 million (Sh26 billion), with the potential for creating 10,000 direct and indirect jobs in Kenya. 

The project will connect various parts of Nairobi with sustainable transportation options, enhancing mobility and boosting urban growth.

The NRC will also serve as a model for future urban development in Africa. The project includes commercial real estate, hospitality, tech innovation, and student housing. 

Notably, the Nairobi Central Station will serve as a key hub, integrating with the city's expanding commuter rail and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems.

Both governments have pledged to advance global leadership in combating climate change, committing to £200 million (Sh35 billion) for Kenya's climate adaptation. 

This funding will help the country stay on track to meet the global target of limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C. 

The partnership will also focus on unlocking green energy transitions and implementing nature-based solutions.

Science, technology, and innovation are core aspects of the partnership. Both countries will collaborate on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies. 

The aim is to foster inclusive growth, create jobs, and boost research and development in areas like digital technology, financial services, and cybersecurity.

The two nations will also explore a new Digital Trading Agreement to facilitate digital trade and increase business opportunities across sectors, ranging from technology to security.

On the security front, the partnership includes measures to address both traditional and emerging threats. 

These will involve enhancing cooperation on tackling regional terrorism, cyber threats, illicit finance, and organised crime. 

The partnership's renewed security compact will provide a comprehensive framework to protect the citizens of both nations and ensure the safety and stability of the region.

Both countries have committed to leveraging their strengths, from economic growth to technological advancements, to tackle global challenges and ensure a secure and sustainable future.
