The non-quota-based migration and mobility agreement between Kenya and Germany is expected to enhance talent matching and labour market strategy between the two countries, the government says.

In what Kenya has described as the first of its kind, the agreement will provide a framework for cooperation and information exchange on labour mobility, apprenticeship, student training, labour market needs, employment and welfare of workers, readmission and return.
