Islamic Chamber of Commerce and Development Kenya

Join the foundational journey

Membership classes for every kind of organization

Whichever class fits your organization, membership connects you to ICCDK's trade, halal, finance, and standards platform — and to the wider ICCD ecosystem.

Chamber & Trade Association Member

New

Voting rights

ICCDK's highest-standing non-founding category, for national or county trade associations, sector chambers, and peer chambers of commerce seeking institutional affiliation — mirroring how ICCD Global itself is a federation of member chambers and associations. Voting rights, one nominated delegate to the General Assembly, and a natural liaison seat toward the Partnerships, Policy and Public Affairs Committee.

Corporate Member

Large enterprises, sector bodies, cooperatives, exporters, financial institutions, and established businesses. Voting rights, eligibility for committees and office where permitted, and access to member services.

SME & Startup Member

SMEs, startups, family businesses, cooperatives, and emerging enterprises. Voting rights, access to member services and capacity building, and eligibility for committees and sector councils subject to policy.

Institutional Member

Professionals, consultants, experts, and ecosystem enablers. Non-voting unless specifically upgraded by resolution, with access to knowledge, events, and technical platforms.
