The Kenya High Commission in Ottawa was established in 1978 with a mandate to promote, project, and protect the image and the interests of Kenya and the Kenyan community in Canada. The Mission is accredited to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal, Canada since 2012. The Kenya High Commission’s mandate is to implement Kenya’s Foreign Policy in Canada, and ICAO as derived from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade of the Republic of Kenya.
The High Commission strives to:
- Build new and robust partnerships while enhancing existing bilateral relationships between Kenya and the countries of accreditation.
- Strengthen co-operation with multilateral organizations based in Canada, especially the International Civil Aviation Organization.

The 50th Anniversary of the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives
Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI)
The CFLI is a program designed to support small-scale, high-impact projects in developing countries, which align with Global Affairs Canada’s thematic priority areas for engagement. The program is directed at projects conceived and designed predominantly by local partners. Projects are selected and approved by the relevant Canadian embassy or high commission.
The majority of CFLI funding is to be directed toward local civil society organizations (including non-governmental organizations) and other institutions working at the local level. Other entities, such as international, intergovernmental, multilateral and regional organizations may be eligible for funding, provided they are working with local partners and on local projects that are consistent with the objectives of the CFLI. Similarly, municipal, regional and national government institutions may receive funding, provided that their projects are essentially local in nature.
The average CFLI contribution is $15,000 - $20,000 Canadian Dollars (CAD$100,000 is the maximum allocation amount for a project eligible under CFLI). Consult the currency converter for local currency equivalents.
