About Us

Diaspora Investment Support Office (DISO)

At the heart of Kenya’s economic transformation lies the power of its people—both at home and abroad. The Diaspora Investment Support Office (DISO), established under the State Department for Diaspora Affairs, is your trusted partner in turning remittances and diaspora capital into sustainable investments that fuel growth, create jobs, and transform communities.

Our objectives are to:
  • Promote Diaspora Direct Investment (DDI) and enterprise development.
  • Enhance the share of remittances directed towards savings and investment.
  • Facilitate the protection and sustainability of diaspora ventures in Kenya.
  • Create enabling linkages between the diaspora and Kenyan counties and private sector actors.

Why DISO

We transform diaspora remittances into secure and rewarding investments.
By bridging Kenyans abroad with local opportunities,
we help build a prosperous Kenya.

Every year, Kenyans abroad send billions back home—remittances that remain the largest source of foreign exchange for the country. Yet, only a fraction of this goes into investments. DISO bridges that gap by creating safe, transparent, and rewarding pathways for diaspora-led and diaspora-linked ventures.

We exist to:
  • Simplify your investment journey by cutting through bureaucracy and offering one-stop facilitation.
  • Protect your investments with credible, transparent, and government-backed mechanisms.
