Yesterday me and my team got to visit a Youth Empowerment Center in Eastleigh, part of the #PROSPECTS programme of which 🇳🇱 is a proud partner.
💻This center serves as a digital community center for refugee and host community youths, building bridges between them.
The Netherlands 🇳🇱 supports Kenya 🇰🇪 in its transition from airfreight to seafreight. By 2030, 50% of all horticultural produce should move by the sea. This week I joined the EU Heads of Missions visit to Mombasa, which was facilitated by @TrademarkAfrica and @EUinKenya
Thank you @rhnkorg for organizing this important conference on localizing global #AYSRHR commitments. I am looking forward to joining you in June.
Excited to announce Maarten Brouwer, a seasoned civil servant and Ambassador at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands @NLinKenya, as our keynote speaker at #RhnkConference2023!
Meet our 🇳🇱 Ambassador for a Day: Hanna Margaret Birenge!
Today Hanna will join me on a visit to Kiambu county. I am looking forward to exchanging thoughts and to sharing space with this young leader 👏
Last week we celebrated King's Day. A day to celebrate friendship, togetherness and equality🌍
However, we are in turbulent times. Around the world, we should prevent our societies from sliding into low trust.

Vorige week heb ik een exemplaar van “Een wolkenkrabber op de savanne” in ontvangst mogen nemen. Van harte @KoertLindijer met dit mooie resultaat van veertig jaar correspondentschap in Afrika!
Congratulations to our Embassy Science Fellow Dr. Sara Kinsbergen on the publication of her research on #youth engagement in Kenya. Highly recommended read!
The stories of sexual exploitation and abuse in the tea sector run against everything we stand for. The Netherlands supports women, and any other victims, in their fight against exploitation and marginalization of any kind.

Yesterday I participated in the annual Seychelles-EU political dialogue 🇸🇨🇪🇺 We had strategic discussions on a range of topics including the economy, governance, climate change, security and international cooperation. Great to reconnect with colleagues and friends.
A comprehensive summary of what we discussed can be found here: african.business/2022/10/apo… I particularly valued learning more about how a small island state like Seychelles faces global and geopolitical challenges🌍 No small endeavor, for which they deserve to be commended.
Congratulations to Faith Kipyegon for this amazing race! 👏🇰🇪
She came, She saw, She conquered 🔥🔥.
Faith Kipyegon becomes the first woman in history to win 4 World championships medals.

EU colleagues and I wrote an OpEd on the Russian invasion in Ukraine and the Russian propaganda. Disinformation is undermining trust and part of warfare. EU is at the forefront of efforts to try to end the conflict through diplomatic means and hold Russia accountable. #euinkenya
Yesterday I visited @kutrrh together with @LSchreinemacher. We spoke with our partners to see how business, ngo’s and government can come together to improve healthcare.
