Ambassador Sebastian Groth on an inaugural visit to DAAD Regional Office Nairobi

DAAD programme tasks, university partnerships, and academic exchange were in the foreground, but so was the topic of the EU and promoting the European education area. 2023 is an anniversary year for the DAAD Regional Office, which will be 50 years old, and for Kenyan-German diplomatic relations, which can celebrate 60 years of good cooperation and partnership.

Joint plans are being made to mark the anniversaries. The DAAD has built up a large regional alumni network over the past 50 years and contributes to science diplomacy with its many experts and partners.

The DAAD office in Nairobi works well with the Embassy and is close to it. The staff is looking forward to continuing to work well together.
