Policymaker Seminar – Kenya

As part of the 2025 Securing Documentation Campaign, the International Rescue Committee (IRC), in collaboration with the Department of Refugee Services (DRS), will host a high-level policy dialogue aimed at addressing documentation barriers affecting refugees in Kenya.

This important convening will bring together:

• Political representatives from key state departments

• Executive and technical staff from Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs)

• Labor officials

• Policy advisers and practitioners

• Representatives from Industrial Associations

• Key actors from the Nairobi City County Government (NCCG)

Participants will engage in dialogue around draft information guides and explore proposed refugee-responsive solutions. The session will culminate in formal commitments and pledges from stakeholders, which will be documented and monitored throughout the remainder of the campaign.

This dialogue is a critical step in aligning policy action with community-driven priorities and ensuring inclusive access to legal documentation for refugee populations across Kenya

The event will be held on Tuesday, 19th August 2025 at Kempinski Villa Rosa Nairobi, Kenya.
