In Kenya, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors have become critical to sovereign borrowing and debt management. Investors and credit rating agencies now evaluate the country's financial performance based on risks such as climate change, human rights, and progress toward Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

To maintain investor confidence and debt sustainability, Kenya is actively integrating these ESG considerations into its national development planning and public financing strategies. This shift aims to build economic resilience and ensure that borrowing aligns with global sustainability standards.
