KEPSA is organised around sectors of the economy, that include Agriculture, Tourism, Education and Finance among others, to advocate for an enabling business environment. KEPSA members are drawn from Business MembershipOrganisations (BMOs) and direct Corporates. The KEPSA sector boards are therefore drawn from this membership according to member interests. The sector boards nominate a chair and vice chair who are sector leaders in the country , either sitting in the sector board or represented in the sector boardafter every two years. The KEPSA Governing Council is therefore made up of all the Chair persons of all the sectors boards represented who automatically become KEPSA Governors.
The overall agenda of KEPSA is to provide “one voice” for the private sector to engage in public policy dialogue and hence influence public policy formulation. It therefore provides the framework for public-private partnership. KEPSA brings value into the Kenyan private sector since as its apex body, it has the capability of rallying the private sector to speak in a single voice on issues affecting the business climate in the country. KEPSA realizes that the private sector is the engine of economic growth and development. It also amplifies advocacy issues of its Business Membership Organizations (BMOs) members when there is a need , thus strenthening the voice of the respective BMO on the particular issue. KEPSA works with developments partners, government and other stakeholders to achieve its goals. KEPSA’s voice is not only heard locally but regionally too and we are making our mark internationally as well, as we develop partnerships with like minded organizations. At the Secretariat, our areas of focus are impact, sustainabilty and publicity to achieve the objectives of the private sector.
