The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) has raised alarms over reduced funding for crucial peacekeeping missions, warning that these cuts could jeopardize regional and global stability. Kenya Army Deputy Commander Major General Mohamed Hassan highlighted the challenges faced by troop-contributing nations due to funding constraints at the 2025 United Nations Troop Contributing Countries (UNTCC) Army Chiefs Conclave in New Delhi, India.

• Kenya has noted the negative impact of insufficient resources on mission effectiveness, particularly regarding financial shortfalls affecting the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission (AUSSOM).
• Major General Mohamed Hassan stressed the need for reforms in peacekeeping mandates, partnerships, political solutions, and adequate funding.
• The mission in Somalia, which involved about 3,000 Kenyan soldiers, transitioned from AMISOM to ATMIS on April 1, 2022, with a planned phased withdrawal.
• Discussions at the conclave focused on enhancing peacekeeping through technology and interoperability, while a collaboration agreement was signed between Kenya's International Peace Support Training Centre (IPSTC) and the Centre for United Nations Peacekeeping (CUNPK) in India.
