About KOICA Alumni Kenya Chapter (KAKC)
The official network of Kenyans who have participated in KOICA's transformative capacity-building programmes — turning knowledge into lasting impact since 2008.
About Us — Our Story
The KOICA Alumni Kenya Chapter (KAKC) is the official network of Kenyans who have participated in training, education, and knowledge-sharing programs sponsored by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
Where It All Began
Since the early 1990s, hundreds of Kenyan professionals from government, academia, civil society, and the private sector have traveled to South Korea to take part in KOICA's capacity-building programs. These experiences not only strengthened individual skills but also created a growing pool of leaders inspired by Korea's rapid development story and committed to advancing Kenya's own transformation.
Recognizing the need to harness this collective expertise, KAKC was formally established in 2008 as a platform to:
- Unite alumni who had benefited from KOICA's knowledge-sharing initiatives
- Promote people-to-people ties between Kenya and Korea
- Share lessons learned and apply them in Kenya's development journey
Growing Together
Over the years, KAKC has grown into a vibrant community of professionals representing diverse sectors — from education, health, and agriculture to technology, governance, and the environment. The Chapter provides a space where alumni can reconnect, collaborate, and contribute meaningfully to Kenya's socio-economic development.
KAKC regularly organises knowledge-sharing forums, volunteer activities, cultural exchange events, and community projects. These initiatives not only amplify alumni impact but also reflect KOICA's core values of partnership, inclusivity, and sustainable development.
Our Commitment
The Chapter is committed to being more than a network — it is a movement. Through partnerships with KOICA Kenya Office, government agencies, development partners, and local communities, KAKC works to support Kenya's national development agenda, foster innovation and sustainable solutions, and strengthen Kenya–Korea friendship and cooperation.
