Our Delegate, Dagmar von Bohnstein, accompanied by our Senior Project Manager-TVET and Labour Mobility, Esther Ndichu, and Deputy Ambassador Alexander Fierley, paid a courtesy call to Principal Secretary Roseline Kathure Njogu of the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, Kenya, yesterday. The introductory meeting provided an opportunity to reaffirm the ongoing collaboration between the AHK Labour Mobility Center and the State Department for Diaspora Affairs. Our Delegate highlighted that AHK’s labour mobility efforts are focused on bridging skills gaps, supporting industry needs, and advancing Kenya–Germany cooperation on migration and skills development—particularly within the framework of the Germany-Kenya Bilateral Labour Agreement.

 

This engagement reflects a shared commitment to structured, transparent, and mutually beneficial labour mobility and supports the development of sustainable partnerships with Kenyan training institutions, especially within the dual TVET framework. By aligning skills development with labour market demand, the partnership continues to unlock opportunities for Kenyan talent while addressing Germany’s need for skilled professionals.

 

Also present were IRENE KARARI and Glenns T.E. Etyang', highlighting the strong institutional collaboration driving this agenda forward.
