A global search yielded candidates from government, academia, and multilateral organisations. The successful candidate was Ambassador Kimani, who had been the Permanent Representative and Head of Kenya’s Mission to the United Nations (UN) since December 2020.
In this role, he represented Kenya in the Security Council, serving as its President in October 2021, and chaired the Executive Board of the UN Development Programme (UNDP), UN Population Fund (UNFPA), and UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS).
