On the 20 December 2016, the European Commissioner for International Cooperation and Development, Neven Mimica, signed financing agreements with Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The first project, worth € 20 million, aimed to provide water and sanitation facilities to close to 400,000 people in arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya through the Climate proofed water supply programme.
A €50 million project would support smallholder agriculture in Kenya, notably by helping it to increase productiveness, better adapted to evolving challenges and to integrate better into relevant markets.
Finally, €34 million would be allocated to a programme for legal empowerment and aid delivery in Kenya, which targets 12 counties in the country.
