El objetivo del Grupo Nacional de Especialistas en Especies de Kenia (KeSSG) es coordinar los conocimientos de los distintos grupos taxonómicos y disciplinas para apoyar a los gobiernos, facilitar la toma de decisiones basada en pruebas y el desarrollo de políticas que contribuyan a revertir el declive de las especies. El Instituto de Investigación y Formación en Vida Silvestre, el Servicio de Vida Silvestre de Kenia, los Museos Nacionales de Kenia y el Instituto de Investigación de Pesca Marina de Kenia son organismos nacionales cuyos mandatos están estrechamente relacionados con el objetivo de este grupo. Estas cuatro instituciones dirigen y coordinan el KeSSG.
