Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’oei has announced the launch of a Treaty Database in Kenya. This initiative, which is a collaborative effort involving various entities including UNDP, AU, the Government of Sweden, and MDA’s, marks a pivotal moment in Kenya’s history. The database intends to strengthen the country’s commitment to meeting international responsibilities in a transparent manner.

The Treaty Database is set to bring numerous benefits to the Kenyan government. Firstly, it will significantly improve accessibility to information regarding Kenya’s treaties, allowing diplomats, legal experts, internal stakeholders, diaspora, citizens, educational institutions, and both public and private sectors to have access to and analyze Kenya’s treaty obligations. This will empower the government and various stakeholders to better understand and manage the country’s international commitments.

Furthermore, the implementation of this database represents a milestone in simplifying treaty management. By streamlining the process, it will make the management of Kenya’s international obligations more efficient, ultimately leading to better compliance and representation on the global stage.
