The migration agreement between Kenya and Germany has indeed been signed. On September 13, 2024, German and Kenyan officials formalized the agreement during a visit by Kenyan President William Ruto to Berlin. This agreement aims to recruit skilled workers from Kenya to fill labor market gaps in Germany and facilitate the repatriation of Kenyans without residency rights.
Regarding the pilot project in Flensburg, it aligns with the broader goals of the agreement to integrate skilled Kenyan workers into the German workforce. This initiative is part of Germany’s efforts to address its skilled labor shortage while providing opportunities for Kenyan professionals.
