The Ford Foundation has officially opened its new East Africa offices in Nairobi, months after a high-profile standoff with the Kenyan government over the June 2024 anti-Finance Bill protests.
Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing'Oei confirmed the development in a statement shared on social media, describing the foundation as "a reliable development partner to governments in the East Africa region." "On behalf of the Prime Cabinet Secretary, I inaugurated Ford Foundation's new offices for East Africa today.
I commended the Foundation for being a reliable development partner to regional governments, civil society, and media," Sing'Oei posted.
Founded in 1936, the Ford Foundation is a New York-based non-profit organization known globally for its work in advancing social justice.
