The Government of Kenya has been implementing various initiatives aimed at building a skilled workforce, including the promotion of TVET and skills recognition. As part of these efforts, the KNQA plays a crucial role in ensuring that qualifications and certifications are recognized across different sectors and institutions.

The KNQA's work is guided by the Kenyan education regulations, which emphasize the importance of quality assurance and accreditation in the provision of TVET programs.
