Kenya has the third highest number of employees at the African Development Bank (AfDB), pointing to the big influence that the country has in the pan-African lender.
An analysis of AfDB’s disclosures shows that 124 Kenyans, led by eight senior executives including a Vice-President were working at the pan-African lender at the end of December 2025, accounting for 5.4 percent of the lender’s 2,263 staff drawn from 77 countries.
