China was the major provider of arms in Kenya in the period between 2011 and 2018, with a value of 342 million SIPRI trend indicator value (TIV). TIV is a measure to represent the transfer of military resources rather than the financial value of the transfer. It neither reflects prices paid for weapons nor represents current dollar values for arm transfers. France was the second main supplier (32 million TIV), followed by the Netherlands (20 million TIV). Arms imported include aircraft, air defense system, armored vehicles, artillery, engines, missiles, sensors, and ships.

(in million SIPRI TIV)
The trend-indicator value (TIV) was developed by SIPRI to measure the volume of international transfers of major conventional weapons using a common unit. The TIV is based on the known unit production costs of a core set of weapons and is intended to represent the transfer of military resources rather than the financial value of the transfer.
The source gives the following example to better understand the calculation of the TIV value:
''The transfer of newly produced complete weapons systems: In 2017, France delivered 8 Rafale combat aircraft to Egypt. One Rafale is valued at 55 million SIPRI TIV. Therefore the delivery is valued at 440 million SIPRI TIV.''
