USTR Releases Summaries from U.S. – Kenya Strategic Trade and Investment Partnership Negotiations

Consistent with the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to the highest levels of transparency in trade agreement negotiations, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) today released a summary of the inclusivity chapter text proposed by the United States under the United States-Kenya Strategic Trade and Investment Partnership (STIP). Negotiation on this text is ongoing.

The text follows through on the two sides’ shared goal to pursue enhanced cooperation to support the economic empowerment and participation of all segments of society, including women and other gender marginalized groups, youth, persons with disabilities, the African Diaspora, Indigenous Peoples, local communities, rural and remote communities, and other traditionally underserved communities, in order to ensure that the benefits of the Partnership are broadly shared and to promote economic growth and sustainable development in both countries.

The goal of the STIP is to pursue enhanced engagement and high standard commitments in a wide range of areas with a view to increase investment; promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth; benefit workers, consumers, and businesses (including micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises); and support African regional economic integration, as outlined in the May 17, 2024, joint statement.
