Investment Policy Monitor
-
UNCTAD has been collecting information on changes in national foreign direct investment (FDI) policies on an annual basis since 1992. This collection has provided input to the analysis of global and regional investment policy trends in the World Investment Report, the Investment Policy Monitors and the UNCTAD-OECD Reports on G20 Measures.
In 2024, to further strengthen the quality of reporting, UNCTAD revised the methodology of monitoring investment policy measures. and revised the measures going back to 2012 accordingly.
The Investment Policy Monitor provides the international investment community with country-specific, up-to-date information about the latest developments in foreign investment policies.
Through its monitoring of investment policy changes, UNCTAD offers cutting-edge and innovative contributions to investment policy discourse, and contributes to preparing the ground for future policymaking in the interest of making foreign investment work for sustainable development.

The UNCTAD's Investment Policy Monitor database include official measures affecting FDI adopted by United Nations Member States. These encompass measures explicitly targeting FDI (FDI-specific), as well as general investment measures with a clear impact on foreign investment (FDI-related). The measures are either reported directly to UNCTAD by Member States through annual surveys or identified by UNCTAD researchers through publicly accessible sources (such as government websites and specialized policy databases). The classification of measures as more or less favourable is based solely on their potential impact on investors.
Note: Measures are verified, to the fullest extent possible, by referencing government sources. The compilation of measures is not exhaustive.

Kenya
Launched Investment Promotion Strategic Plan for 2023-2027
01 Sep 2023On 1 September 2023, Kenya launched the Investment Promotion Strategic Plan for 2023-2027. The Strategic Plan aims to position Kenya as the premier investment destination in Africa by enhancing the business environment and attracting both local and foreign investments. The Plan outlines a comprehensive framework with seven key result areas (KRAs), including reforms in the business and investment climate, development of economic zones, and investor relationship management. A significant focus is placed on creating a conducive and competitive atmosphere for sustainable economic transformation. The strategic objectives are supported by a detailed implementation matrix that specifies activities, timelines, responsible parties, and associated costs.
To achieve its vision, the Plan emphasizes stakeholder engagement and the development of an investor-centric culture. It aligns with broader national goals such as the Kenya Vision 2030 and incorporates lessons from past investment strategies. The Strategic Plan also highlights the importance of operational efficiency and institutional capacity development to ensure effective implementation. By addressing the challenges identified in previous reports, this Plan seeks to foster a robust investment ecosystem that can attract significant FDI and contribute to Kenya's economic growth.
