Kenya has now shifted its foreign policy orientation and currently, the strategy rests on four interlinked pillars of economic diplomacy, peace diplomacy, environmental diplomacy and diaspora diplomacy.

For the Ministry to successfully affect these principles and effectively implement its core mandate and functions, a Service Charter has been developed to guide the operations of the Ministry.The Charter, which is based on the current Strategic Plan and the Foreign Policy document, sets out what the Ministry is and what it does, and records its commitment and that of its staff to provide its clients with the highest quality services that a modern Foreign Service will permit.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, like other Ministries/Departments, has developed a self assessment mechanism, the Performance Contact, to facilitate delivery of efficient and effective services within predetermined targets.
