Background
The Association of Certified Trustees – Kenya (ACT-Kenya) was established in Kenya as a not-for-profit membership organization in 2019, composed of certified trustees in the pensions industry in Kenya. It is proud to boast of a membership of qualified and experienced trustees, overseeing pension schemes of different types and sizes in both public and private organizations.
What we do
ACT-Kenya, as a country-wide organization, aims to strengthen the pensions industry in Kenya . It does this through collaborating with the relevant Government of Kenya agencies, such as the Retirement Benefits Authority, and other stakeholders. Among other objectives, the organization is focused on boosting the quality of retirement life of all pensioners through measures such as pushing for the acceleration of the pace of growth of income replacement ratios for the citizens; encouraging the formation of more pension funds; encouraging additional contributions by both employers and members; and pushing for improvement of post-retirement provisions, such as medical covers, among others. On top of the aforementioned, ACT-Kenya will focus on other pursuits, all aimed at making the pensions industry in Kenya to work even better.
ACT-Kenya continually offers different types of relevant quality trainings, in order to boost the capacity of its members. This capacity building ensures that trustees continue to discharge their duties to their full potential, thus benefiting the schemes that they oversee. This eventually benefits the entire pensions industry. The trainings also equip the trustees with knowledge and skills, which they can utilize in other areas of their professional and personal lives.
