SENIOR MANAGEMENT STAFF SET PRIORITIES FOR 2025/26

The State Department for Foreign Affairs successfully concluded its three-day high-level Strategic Reflective Retreat, that brought together senior leadership under the stewardship of Principal Secretary Dr. Korir SingOei.

The three-day engagement held in Kajiado County provided a vital platform to assess the Department’s performance for the 2024/25 Financial Year and set clear, forward-looking priorities for 2025/26 that are aligned with Kenya’s evolving foreign policy objectives and national development goals.

The Principal Secretary underscored the significance of the retreat as a forum for candid reflection, progress evaluation, and institutional realignment. He emphasized the importance of aligning departmental priorities with the Kenya Foreign Policy, the Ministry’s Strategic Plan (2023–2027), presidential directives, Cabinet decisions, and the broader national development agenda. The retreat also built on insights from the 2024/25 performance evaluation and internal departmental reviews. 

While reflecting on the 2024/25 performance reports, the management at the State Department outlined flagship programmes for 2025/26, and proposed deliverables aligned to the Fourth Medium-Term Plan (MTP IV) and BETA priorities to inform the performance contracts of the Prime Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary.
