L'objectif du Kenya National Species Specialist Group (KeSSG) est de coordonner l'expertise à travers les groupes taxonomiques et les disciplines afin de soutenir les gouvernements, de faciliter la prise de décision basée sur des preuves et le développement de politiques qui contribueront à inverser le déclin des espèces. Le Wildlife Research and Training Institute, le Kenya Wildlife Service, les National Museums of Kenya et le Kenya's Marine Fisheries Research Institute sont des agences nationales dont les mandats sont étroitement liés à l'objectif de ce groupe. Ces quatre institutions assurent la direction et la coordination du KeSSG.
