Improving the business climate
Our 2007 annual report is now available
The Business Advocacy Fund is intended to support business member organisations (BMOs) to engage in private public dialogue and to advocate an improved business environment in Kenya. Introduction & governance
Business advocacy is simply the process of influencing the development and implementation of public policies that affect the business sector.
Grants and capacity building are available to support proposals which most closely meet the Fund's criteria and objectives and which are regarded as having the best chance of making an impact.

Objectives
Applicant organisations must be intending to advocate a specific issue. The Fund will assist by providing grants:
  • To support the research necessary to engage effectively in advocacy;
  • To undertake advocacy activities
  • To monitor and evaluate actions by government which impact on the enabling environment
  • To create better public understanding of the role of BMOs in advocating a better business climate.
In addition the Fund will provide capacity building support as necessary to implement these activities successfully

Using this website
This website aims
  • to provide information and advice to assist business member associations who have an issue that they would like to advocate and who are looking for assistance to be able to do that effectively
  • to be a source of information on issues that are being pursued by BMOs supported by the Fund and, more generally,
  • to provide news on progress being made in improving the business environment
The menu on the top bar will let you keep in touch with issues and news. The menu bar at the top right of each page will lead BMOs through the application process and provide access to a wide range of infomation and support.
