Africa Forward | Inspire & Connect

The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) is the apex body for the private sector in Kenya. KEPSA brings together local and foreign business associations, federations, chambers of commerce, professional bodies that are sectoral umbrella bodies, and individual business membership organizations — from multinationals to large and medium-sized companies, SMEs, and start-ups from all sectors of the economy, across the country. This gives KEPSA a reach of over 2 million businesses directly and indirectly. KEPSA also serves as the national focal point of the East Africa Business Council (EABC) and hosts the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Kenya Chapter, linking Kenyan enterprises to over 45 million businesses worldwide. KEPSA works to create a favorable business environment for its members by advocating for policy and regulatory reforms and by providing a platform for dialogue with the Government — including Parliament, the Judiciary, the Senate, and the Presidency. It also partners with development organizations to support socioeconomic programs focused on youth employment, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), and climate initiatives. Through collaboration with government, development partners, and the private sector, KEPSA fosters partnerships, builds capacity, and promotes sustainable growth across all sectors of the economy.
