Kenya's government has stated that contributions from several countries have provided sufficient funding to sustain the Haiti mission. These contributions have been channeled through the UN Trust Fund for Haiti, which has received over $85 million, ensuring the mission's continued operations.

The Kenya-led security mission fighting armed gangs in Haiti will continue unaffected by a disruption in US funding, according to a statement from Kenya's government spokesman.

Over $13 million in US funding has been frozen following President Donald Trump’s decision to pause foreign aid for 90 days. However, Kenya's government has clarified that the Haiti mission is being supported by the UN Trust Fund for Haiti, which has already received contributions of $85 million from several countries, including the US. This amount is considered sufficient to sustain the mission’s operations.

Isaac Mwaura, the government spokesman, confirmed that the fund remains well-resourced to support the mission until the end of September 2025. He also added that the Kenyan government is working to transition the Haiti security mission into a United Nations operation.

Although the Multinational Security Support mission was approved by the UN Security Council, it is not currently a UN operation and relies on voluntary contributions. Presently, the mission involves nearly 900 police officers and troops from Kenya, El Salvador, Jamaica, Guatemala, and Belize. More than $110 million has been contributed to a UN trust fund for the mission, with over half of the funds coming from Canada, according to UN data.

The US has pledged about $600 million to the mission, with a significant portion already disbursed, according to Korir Sing’oei, principal secretary of Kenya’s foreign ministry, speaking to Anadolu news agency.

Sing’oei emphasized that the US decision to pause further disbursements for 90 days only affects about $15 million, while the mission already has $110 million in funding. He expressed confidence that other countries would step in to support the mission, adding that the funds that have already been disbursed cannot be stopped or redirected.
