The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) is urging the United States to renew the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) for 16 years, warning that failure to do so could jeopardize jobs and investment in both nations. If renewal is not secured, KEPSA proposes a two-year transition period for Kenya to negotiate a bilateral trade agreement.

• Kenya exported $470 million worth of apparel to the U.S. in 2024, supporting 66,800 direct jobs.
• KEPSA CEO Carole Kariuki emphasized AGOA's role as the most effective U.S. policy tool in Africa over the last 25 years.
• KEPSA estimates nearly 800,000 livelihoods depend on AGOA-linked exports, while the U.S. benefits from $200–250 million in consumer savings annually.
