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 Thursday, 18th September 2025 at Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Nairobi, Kenya.
