Driving this growth and development is Kenya’s Vision 2030, a long-term development plan for the country



The need for vision“We recognized that we really needed a long-term view

of how we planned to improve the quality of life for all

Kenyans, and in particular the poor, and that led us to

develop Kenya’s Vision 2030.”

Professor Gituro Wainaina,

Acting Director General of Kenya’s

Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat

A transformative planThe plan is based on three pillars:



economic

The economic pillar aims to achieve and sustain an average

economic growth rate of 10% per annum

until 2030



social

The social pillar seeks to build a just and cohesive society

with social equity



political

The political pillar aims to realize a democratic political system

founded on issue-based politics that respects the

rule of law, and protects the rights and freedoms

of every individual in Kenyan society

Aligning politics with long-term visionAll of Kenya’s main parties base their platforms on the

Vision 2030 plan

“We work with them during their campaigns

to help them understand the implications of

their ideas on the Vision and the long-term

development goals we have set.”

Professor Wainaina



Improving the investment climateLike all governments around the world, there are limits

on how much of Kenya’s infrastructure can be funded

from the public purse



Public-private partnerships are helping to meet this gap



Kenya has already enjoyed some success in key areas...



New 50-kilometer eight-lane controlled-access highway built between Nairobi and Thika, linking several towns to the capital’s North East



Investments into renewable power and the ‘last mile initiative’ have seen electricity rates fall by 42%



And dredging at the Port of Mombasa has reduced ship turn-around times from 18 days to just 2 days



ALL SIGNS

INDICATE

THAT THE

HARD WORK

IS STARTING

TO PAY OFF



“Once you come to Kenya you won’t want to leave.”

Kenya is already enjoying benefits from the Vision,

attracting dozens of global businesses who have

made Kenya their headquarters for Africa.

But one warning…

Professor Wainaina
