Kenya is intensifying its efforts towards a sustainable bioeconomy through partnerships that integrate policy, research, and private sector innovation.

At the centre of this effort is the Advancing Bioeconomy Development in Kenya (ABDK) project, spearheaded by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) in collaboration with the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA), and supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA).

The project aims to accelerate the use of biological resources in agriculture, industry, and energy while fostering innovation, green jobs, and climate resilience.

It also facilitates collaboration between Kenyan and Swedish stakeholders, with Sweden contributing technical expertise and policy know-how.
