The CS Global Partners World Citizenship Report (WCR) reveals key insights into Kenya’s safety, economics, and quality of life in 2024.

In groundbreaking new research released in the CS Global Partners World Citizenship Report (WCR), Kenya ranked #120 out of the 188 countries studied. This is a decline in rankings compared to last year’s report, when Kenya ranked as #110.

Using an innovative research methodology, the WCR uses the World Citizenship Index to rank the 188 countries studied. The World Citizenship Index is an innovative tool that takes a holistic approach to ranking the world’s citizenships across multiple dimensions.
