Kenya's Export Processing
Zones programme was established in 1990 to provide an attractive
investment opportunity for export-oriented business ventures
within designated areas or zones, and is managed by the Export
Processing Zones Authority (EPZA). The programme's objectives,
which are also the criteria for project approval, are the
increase in productive capital investment; generation of jobs;
transfer of technology; development of forward and backward
linkages; and diversification of export products and markets.
The scheme offers a range of attractive incentives to ensure
lower cost operations, faster set-up, smoother operations,
and higher profitability through the establishment of an effective
One-Stop-Shop service at the EPZ Authority to facilitate all
stages of the investment process.
