About Us

The Economics Students Association of Kenya (KESA) is a Premier National Membership Association that brings together Economics and Business Students, Practicing Economists, and interested stakeholders from Universities, Colleges, and Technical and Vocational training institutions across Kenya. 

The Association aims to promote academic excellence, professional growth, and impactful contributions to the fields of Economics and Business.

KESA was founded by Economics Students who identified a gap in Economics training within Kenyan Universities. 

Recognizing the need to bridge theory and practice, they established KESA as a platform to enhance the application of economic knowledge and tools to address real societal challenges. 

This led to its formal establishments on March 1st, 2021, and certified under the Societies Act on Monday, 4th December 2023.

Through its diverse membership, KESA continues to drive meaningful engagement in Economic discourse, Research, and Policy Analysis.
