In the quest to attract foreign investment, facilitate international cooperation, and remain competitive on both regional and global stages, Kenya has entered into numerous Host Country Agreements (HCAs) with international organisations such as the United Nations Environment Programme, multinational corporations, and diplomatic missions.

These agreements serve as crucial legal frameworks that define the rights, privileges, and immunities granted to these entities, enabling smoother operations within the country. The significance of these agreements cannot be overstated, especially in a world where globalisation and international partnerships are paramount for economic growth and development.
