ForewordThe mandate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade of the Republic of Kenya is to pursue Kenya’s foreign policy and international trade affairs in accordance with the Constitution of Kenya, with the overarching objective of protecting and promoting the nation’s interests abroad. In pursuing this objective, we have inclined our foreign policy towards fostering better relations with our neighbors, the rest of the African continent and the world at large. Accordingly, the theme for this Strategic Plan is “Building bridges for peace, international cooperation, global competitiveness and shared national prosperity”. This theme underpins our desire and commitment to work with others to fulfil our nation’s collective aspiration of transforming Kenya into a newly industrializing, middle income country providing a high quality of life to all its citizens in a

clean and secure environment as envisaged in our development blueprint, Kenya Vision 2030.

Kenya recognizes that to attain the desired socio-economic transformation and political stability, we must work with the rest of the world. We operate in a dynamic environment, characterized by shifting interests that often lead to both political and economic realignments. We will, therefore, continue to re-orient our foreign policy and trade interests towards regional, continental and international integration as the foundation for the world’s socio-economic development and political unity as well as for our own prosperity. In this regard, Kenya will remain an active member of regional and multilateral organizations such as the East Africa Community (EAC), Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR), African Union (AU) and the United Nations (UN), among others. Most importantly, we will exert ourselves in support of regional and continental integration, emphasizing intra-African trade as the cornerstone for Africa’s socio-economic development and political unity.

Peace, security and stability are fundamental ingredients for any country’s social, economic, and political development. Consequently, Kenya will play a pivotal role in championing peace and security initiatives, particularly in our region. We shall continue to support conflict prevention and resolution, peacekeeping, peace building and post-conflict reconstruction in the region and beyond.

Similarly, Kenya will be actively involved in supporting the work of the African Union to attain the vision of a prosperous, integrated and peaceful Africa. Moreover, we will support the UN in finding lasting solutions to conflicts and terrorism activities in the world. Kenya will therefore consistently advocate for respect of international conventions and treaties, human rights and fundamental freedoms as key prerequisites for achieving lasting peace, stability and prosperity in the world.

In order to successfully implement this Strategic Plan, we will strengthen our collaboration with our partners and develop the necessary diplomatic competencies and other capacities in the Ministry. We will also expand our diplomatic presence and strengthen our representation abroad in order to engage effectively with the rest of the world.

12 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

I wish to acknowledge the President, H.E. Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta for providing focused leadership on matters of Kenya’s Foreign Policy and international trade, upon whose wise counsel this strategic plan is predicated. I also want to appreciate the team that has worked on this strategic plan under the able guidance of the Principal Secretary, Dr (Eng) Karanja Kibicho, CBS.

Finally, it is our strong conviction that successful implementation of this Strategic Plan will improve the performance of the Ministry and in particular enable us to play our key role of providing leadership in managing Kenya’s foreign relations for shared social, economic and political prosperity.

Amb. Amina C. Mohammed, CBS, CAVCabinet Secretary


As Kenya pursues its Vision of becoming a newly industrializing, middle-income country providing a high quality of life for all its citizens by the year 2030, the conduct and management of the country’s foreign relations will need to improve significantly. International trade and progressive Foreign Policy will continue to play an important role in opening up external markets, free trade, job creation and promoting sustainable development for economic growth. To achieve the above, the Government has re-defined its Foreign Policy in order to establish the country’s global trade priorities and pursue a robust, reciprocal bilateral and multilateral trade, taxation and investment relations through regional and International trade agreements. In pursuing this agenda, the government has expanded the mandate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to also include International Trade.

This Strategic Plan, therefore, will serve as the roadmap which will guide the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in the plan period, in implementing the Kenya’s Foreign Policy and International trade priorities to meet the desired outcomes. This Strategic Plan, which has been prepared in line with the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Second Medium Term Plan: 2013-2017, the Jubilee Manifesto and other government priorities, aims to facilitate positive and mutually beneficial engagements with both developed and developing countries through both bilateral and multilateral systems. The Plan anticipates and identifies challenges at the national, regional and global levels that the Ministry will contend with and also provides practical ways of managing them. The Plan also defines the strategic areas around which the Ministry’s objectives and strategies have been derived, namely: Kenya’s Sovereignty, Territorial Integrity, Peace Security and Stability; Economic Cooperation, International Trade and Investment; Kenya’s Interests Abroad; Diaspora Engagement and Consular Services; Public Diplomacy and Stakeholders’ Engagement; and Policy, Legal and Institutional Capacity.

The preparation of this plan commenced in earnest in September 2013.The process was highly consultative and participatory involving many stakeholders both directly and indirectly. In this regard, I would like to thank all those who contributed to the development of this document. Special thanks go to the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs and International Trade, for providing the overall policy guidance and direction in the development of this Plan. I similarly thank all Heads of Directorate, Division and Unit, as well as the Heads of our Diplomatic Mission and their staff, for their invaluable contribution and support to this process.

I would like to also acknowledge and commend our staff members who were responsible for putting together the document. This team, which was under the capable leadership of Joseph Masila, the Head of Central Planning and Project Monitoring Division, comprised of the following: Festus Wangwe, Beldinah Otieno, Magdalene Kipkenei, Millicent Kabara, Gideon Mwangi, Priscilla Mugo, Lucy Kiruthu, Peter Onyonyi, Fredrick Matwang’a, Gilbert Ngeno, Dr. Margret Gachuru, Patrick Nzusi, Consolata Kiragu, Irene Mbugua, Soita Khwatenge, Ann Kamau, Nancy Mwangi, Linus Ogola, Kiama Njoroge, Washington Oloo, John Wagema, Duncan Anindo, Gaudencia Ayisi, Samuel Karicho, Silas Kiragu,

I also wish to thank other government officials, professionals and stakeholders whose invaluable input helped in shaping this plan.

Lastly, I take cognizance of the contribution by the Ministry of Devolution and Planning for providing guidelines on the development and preparation process of the plan.

In addition, the plan will facilitate measuring and timely reporting of the performance of the Ministry and its staff. I believe that with dedication and team work, we will be able to effectively implement this Strategic Plan, and in so doing, improve the management of our country’s foreign relations and contribute effectively to the desired economic growth and overall transformation of our country Kenya.

Dr (Eng) Karanja Kibicho, CBSPrincipal Secretary


Executive SummaryThis strategic plan provides an overview of the Ministry’s mandate and functions and outlines the key objectives and strategies to be pursued. It sets out the framework within which the Ministry will discharge its functions in line with its vision and mission for a five year period. It further identifies challenges encountered in the previous strategic plan: 2008-2012 to be addressed by this plan and builds on the achievements realized during its implementation. This plan has also been prepared taking cognizance of the challenges anticipated at the national, regional and international levels. In particular, the plan recognizes challenges relating to peace, security, stability, market competition and shifting alliances among others.

As a Ministry in charge of foreign affairs and international trade, peace, international cooperation, global competitiveness and prosperity are key interests that define the Ministry’s engagement with the external environment. The theme, vision and mission of the Ministry have therefore been defined taking cognizance of these interests that will pre-occupy the Ministry over the plan period. Accordingly, the theme of this strategic plan is “Building bridges for peace, international cooperation, global competitiveness and shared national prosperity”. The vision statement is “A peaceful, prosperous, and globally competitive Kenya” while the mission statement is “To project, promote and protect Kenya’s interests and image globally through innovative diplomacy, and contribute towards a just, peaceful and equitable world”.

As the Ministry pursues the vision and mission, it will be guided by the following core values: customer focus, patriotism, team spirit, professionalism, ethics and integrity and equity and fairness.

There are six strategic areas of focus around which the Ministry’s objectives and strategies have been derived. The first is that the Ministry will seek to protect Kenya’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and promote peace, security and stability at the national, regional and international level by engaging the international community and collaborating with the relevant MDAs to address these issues. The second focus is to promote economic cooperation and international trade including through initiating, negotiating and concluding bilateral, regional and multilateral trade and investment agreements as well as participating in promotion activities. The strategic plan takes cognizance of the critical role of regional and continental integration, regional and international economic blocs and international cooperation in fostering trade and economic cooperation.

The third focus is Kenya’s interests abroad. The Ministry will seek to project, promote and safeguard Kenya’s diverse interests abroad amidst the ever-changing economic and political environment. In this regard, this strategic plan recognizes that these interests are critical in the country’s overall development and identifies objectives and strategies to pursue to secure and safeguard these interests for economic, social and political prosperity. Environmental and cultural concerns have been highlighted as some of the cross-cutting issues under Kenya’s interests abroad. The fourth area of focus is enhancing Diaspora engagement and consular services. This area of focus aims to harness the skills and expertise of the Kenyans in the Diaspora to contribute to national development. The fifth area of focus is public diplomacy and stakeholders’ engagement which aims at improving the Ministry’s overall service delivery and improving Ministry's visibility nationally and globally. Under public diplomacy and stakeholders’ engagement, this plan will seek to strengthen work relations and engagement between the Ministry, Parliament and County Governments as well as other stakeholders. The sixth area of focus is strengthening policy, legal and institutional capacity for the Ministry to execute its mandate effectively.

16 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

In order to address the six strategic issues identified above, the Ministry developed seven strategic objectives. These objectives are to: Protect Kenya’s Sovereignty and territorial integrity; promote national, regional and international peace, security and stability; promote economic cooperation, international trade and investments; promote and safeguard Kenya’s interests abroad; promote Kenyan Diaspora engagement and enhance consular services; enhance public diplomacy and stakeholders engagement; and strengthen policy, legal and institutional capacity for the Ministry.

The Ministry has also developed a new organisation structure which takes into consideration the on-going reforms of the public sector arising from amalgamation of Ministries. The restructured Ministry has been organised into four (4) directorates while the Foreign Service Institute will be transformed into a Semi-Autonomous Academy. The new structure also establishes the office of the Chef De Cabinet charged with the management of both the offices of the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary.

For each of these strategic objectives, strategies and activities have been formulated and corresponding key performance indicators identified for monitoring and evaluating the implementation of this plan.

Monitoring, evaluation and reporting will therefore form a critical component of this plan. Monitoring and evaluation reports will be prepared to provide feedback on progress made and form a basis of the next steps in implementing the plan.


Chapter

Introduction and Background

1


18 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

1.1 BackgroundThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs was established in 1963, after independence as External Affairs Department under the office of the Prime Minister operating from the then Government House, now the State House. The Prime Minister was then the first Minister for Foreign Affairs in Kenya. The Ministry was later renamed the Ministry of State for Foreign Affairs still under the Office of the President.

In 1969 the Ministry became a fully fledged Ministry with a first Minister for Foreign Affairs with only three divisions namely: Political/Economic, Protocol and Administration. The Ministry relocated to the present Headquarters, the Old Treasury building, in 1980 and has since expanded to its current state.

Immediately after independence, the Government only established Missions in London, Moscow, Bonn, Peking (currently Beijing), Cairo, Washington / New York (UN) and Paris. By 1969, other diplomatic missions were established in Addis Ababa, Lusaka, New Dehli and Tokyo. From 1978 onwards more missions were opened in different parts of the world. Today, Kenya has 54 Missions spread all over the world.

In 2013, the Ministry was re-named as Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade following an expansion of its mandate vide Executive Order No. 2 of May 2013.

1.2 Kenya's Foreign Policy Since independence, Kenya pursued a foreign policy based on fundamental principles of peaceful co-existence, preservation of national security, peaceful settlement of disputes, non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, non-alignment, national interests and adherence to the Charters of the United Nations and the Africa Union. Kenya has now shifted its foreign policy orientation and currently the focus lies on five interlinked pillars of diplomacy namely: economic; peace; environmental; cultural and Diaspora. Despite this shift Kenya’s foreign policy still retains the former fundamental principles pursued at independence.

The economic diplomacy pillar aims to achieve robust and sustained economic transformation in order to secure Kenya’s social economic development and prosperity that will ensure our nation becomes a newly industrializing middle income country by the year 2030. The peace diplomacy pillar seeks to consolidate Kenya’s legacy in promoting peace and stability as necessary conditions for development and prosperity in countries within the region. Environmental diplomacy pillar recognizes Kenya’s enormous stake in the sustainable management of its own natural resources, those of the region and the world. Underline this commitment is the urgency to comfront the impact of contemporary environmental problems such as global climate change, ozone depletion, ocean and air pollution and resource degradation, compounded by the increasing world population. The cultural diplomacy pillar aims to use culture as a vital ingredient in international relations especially through the use of cultural heritage and endowments as the pedestals of our foreign engagement. The exchange of ideas, values, traditions and aspects of our diverse culture and identity will be used to strengthen relationships, enhance socio-cultural cooperation and promote our national interests. The Diaspora diplomacy pillar recognizes the importance of harnessing the diverse skills, expertise and potential of Kenyans living abroad, and facilitating their integration into the national development agenda. These pillars inform the core priorities and strategies for bilateral and multilateral engagement so as to strengthen relationships, enhance social cultural cooperation and promote our national interests.


The guiding principles of the foreign policy are: sanctity of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Kenya, peaceful co-existence with neighbours and other nations; resolution of conflicts by peaceful means; promotion of regional integration; respect for the equality, sovereignty and territorial integrity of states and respect for international norms, customs and laws.

Given that foreign policy process is dynamic, Kenya’s Foreign Policy will continue to focus on our immediate neighbours, the sub-region and Africa while recognizing Kenya’s role and responsibility in the international community.

1.3 Rationale for Preparation of the Strategic PlanStrategic Plans were introduced for the first time in Public Service in 2004 as a performance management tool to enable public sector institutions to focus their work strategically and to enhance efficiency and accountability in the use of public resources. The strategic management paradigm has largely been successfully implemented with tangible results.

This Strategic Plan lays the foundation for development of the Ministry’s priorities for a five year period. Specifically, the plan will guide the Ministry in enhancing its performance and service delivery, stimulating strategic thinking, providing a basis for resource mobilization, and allocation as well as contributing to the attainment of the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Second Medium Term Plan goals and aspirations.

1.4 Methodology This plan was developed through a highly consultative and participatory process involving key stakeholders in conformity with the Constitution of Kenya. The process began with interviews where a questionnaire was administered to the Cabinet Secretary, Principal Secretary, Heads of Directorate and Division. The interviews aimed to collect views on achievements, challenges and lessons learnt over the previous strategic plan implementation period and the strategic direction the Ministry should take as discerned by the top management of the Ministry. A number of retreats and focused group discussions were held internally with the Ministry's top management and the strategic plan core team members as well as strategic plan desk officers. The draft plan was shared twice with the Kenya diplomatic missions abroad and their contributions were instrumental in concretising the strategies contained in this plan as well mainstreaming global best practices in contemporary strategic management practices. Reference was also made to key policy documents which include, the Constitution of Kenya, Kenya's Foreign Policy, the Kenya Diaspora Policy, the Kenya Vision 2030, the Second Medium Term Plan, the Jubilee Manifesto, the Ministry’s previous strategic plan, other strategic plans and other key government policy documents. The plan was also subjected to public participation in conformity with the constitutional requirements before publication.Their views and input were instrumental in refining strategies contained in this plan.

Kenya’s Development Agenda and Challenges

2


2.1 Kenya’s Development AgendaKenya’s development agenda is guided by the Kenya Vision 2030 which is currently the country’s national development blueprint. The Vision was developed building on the gains achieved under the Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation (ERS) 2003 – 2007. Successful implementation of the ERS policies enabled the country to register impressive economic recovery. Gross Domestic Product grew from a low of 0.6 % in 2002 to a high of 7 % in 2007, before declining to 4.6 per cent and 4.7 per cent in 2012 and 2013 respectively; revenue collection increased steadily from Kshs 200 billion in 2002 to about Kshs 800 billion in 2007 and to Kshs. 1,017.7 billion in 2013 thus enabling the government to finance up to 95 % of the government’s national budget; investment in infrastructure development increased significantly and leading social and economic indicators improved across the economy among other achievements.

The overriding goal of the Kenya Vision 2030 is to transform Kenya into a newly industrializing middle income country providing a high quality of life to all its citizens by the year 2030. The policies and strategies outlined in the vision aim to address the economic, social and political challenges facing the country. Foreign relations and international trade are integral aspects and a driver for the country to fulfil the aspirations of the Vision 2030. The Ministry’s overall mandate cuts across all the three pillars of the Vision and the foundations in the implementation of the vision. The Ministry does this through the five pillars of Kenya's Foreign Policy.

Over the years, the Ministry has reoriented its programmes and activities towards achievement of rapid economic transformation as envisaged in the vision. Its programmes are targeted at reducing poverty levels, employment creation, sustainable development and economic transformation among other objectives of the vision. Some of the focus areas to realize these goals are promotion of trade, foreign direct investment, regional and international cooperation; promotion of peace and conflict resolution which is a prerequisite for economic prosperity; promoting and safeguarding Kenya’s interests abroad and engagement of Diaspora and promoting their participation in national development.

The Second Medium Term Plan contains policy priorities and reforms to be pursued in line with the Constitution of Kenya and the policies of the Jubilee Government. Furthermore, the Second MTP benefitted heavily from views collected during stakeholders consultations conducted both at the national level and all the counties. Both the Constitution and the Jubilee Manifesto give priority to devolution as a vehicle towards equitable socio-economic development.

2.1.1 Second Medium Term Plan Policy ThrustThe Second MTP identifies key policy actions, reforms, programmes and projects to be implemented by the government during the 2013 – 2017 period in line with its policy priorities, the Constitution of Kenya and the Kenya Vision 2030 aspirations. The second MTP builds on the gains of the First MTP particularly in laying emphasis on economic transformation through infrastructure development and strategic focus on priority sectors under the economic and social pillars of the Kenya Vision 2030.

The theme of the Second MTP is ‘Transforming Kenya: Pathway to Devolution, Socio-Economic Development, Equity and National Unity’. Accordingly, the Second MTP outlines policies and programmes designed to implement devolution, accelerate growth, reduce poverty, promote equity, transform the structure of the economy and create more quality jobs to steer the country towards achieving higher income status by 2030.

22 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

The priority areas to be implemented towards this objective are: full implementation of the constitution to achieve devolution and other requisite reforms; peace building, reduction of ethnic rivalry and promotion of issue based politics through an inter-ethnic peace building framework; improve security by better training and equipping the National Police Service to enhance their operational capacity; address drought emergencies and food security issues; address equity in access to opportunities and cost of living; implement health and education programmes to improve the general lives of the people by freeing them from communicable and major killer diseases as well as eliminate illiteracy and equip them with technical skills and competencies to compete in the job market; develop infrastructure to gain access to cheap and adequate electricity, clean and safe drinking water for households, good local and regional rail and road networks and affordable decent housing; encourage industrialisation by supporting the growth of the manufacturing sector, make agriculture competitive and support local entrepreneurs to increase their share in local and external markets; improve trade by increasing the market share of the fast expanding and other emerging trade markets; increase investment in key sectors to support growth; increase expansion, development and modernisation of roads, rail, ports, ICT and telecommunications to increase Kenya’s competitiveness; deepen governance and public financial management reforms; continue with land reforms; strengthen social protection initiatives to cover more areas; invest in arts, sports and culture as an avenue to increasing opportunities especially for the youth; continue with programmes addressing Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and work towards harmonising the MDGs with Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) particularly the Post-2015 development agenda and realign Kenya’s Foreign Policy with the nation’s international trade objectives.

2.1.2 Ministry Second MTP Programmes for the period 2013 – 2017The Second MTP equally outlines programmes and projects to be implemented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade over the period 2013-2017. These programmes and projects include:

• Development of Kenya Missions Abroad. Kenya is keen to expand its diplomatic presence through opening new diplomatic missions and acquisition of property abroad.

• Promotion of Nairobi as a Hub for multilateral diplomacy. Kenya will construct a convention centre, office blocks and hotel in Gigiri, Nairobi in an effort to promote Nairobi as a hub for economic and multilateral diplomacy and venue for international meetings and conventions. In addition, an ultra-modern building will be constructed to host the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade headquarters.

• Restructuring of the Kenya Foreign Service Institute to transform it into a Semi-Autonomous Government Foreign Service Academy and a centre of excellence offering cutting edge training to Diplomats from Eastern and Central African Region and beyond and offer short induction courses for officers in the national and County Governments whose work require diplomacy or protocol knowledge and expertise.

• Realign Kenya’s Foreign Policy with the nation’s international trade objectives. This will include operationalisation of a Special Advisory/Negotiation Services Unit, training of staff in trade policy, export promotion and negotiation techniques; deepening economic


diplomacy, regional integration, bilateral and multilateral partnerships to increase market share in traditional export destinations, penetration of new markets in emerging economies as well as enhancing the role of private sector in regional integration initiatives.

• Finalise and implement the Kenya Diaspora Policy and establish a National Diaspora Council of Kenya to facilitate effective engagement with Kenyans in the Diaspora.

• Finalise and implement the Foreign Service Bill, 2014 to lay the legal foundation for the establishment, operations and functions of the Foreign and Diplomatic Service of Kenya.

• Implementation of 30% public procurement preference, Access to Government Procurement Opportunities policy for youth, women and Persons with Disability (PWDs).

2.1.3 Cross Cutting PrioritiesDuring the five year strategic Plan implementation period, the Ministry will focus on the following crosscutting priorities: empowerment of women, youth, persons with disability, gender, HIV/AIDS, alcohol and drug abuse, saftey mesures, the environmental sustainability and national values mainstreaming. Policy actions to address these crosscutting issues have been clearly stipulated in the Second MTP and the Ministry has identified strategies to mainstream them to its operations.

2.2 Kenya’s Development Challenges and the role of MFA&IT in addressing the challenges.The achievement of the country’s development objectives as spelled out in the Kenya Vision 2030, the Jubilee Manifesto and the Constitution of Kenya is hampered by challenges at the global, regional and national levels.

2.2.1 Global ChallengesThe global system pose serious challenges to national development, especially for resource scarce developing countries like Kenya. The effects of globalization including unfair competition and dumping continue to deprive the economy of potential capital, investment flows and tourists. Trasnational crimes such as terrorism, piracy, money laundering, drugs and human trafficking have not only dented the image and reputation of the country but continue to pose serious socio-economic and security confrontation. Environmental concerns and associated natural disasters inter alia climate change, droughts and floods have devastating effects on Kenya’s development endeavours.

Delay in concluding the World Trade Organization’s (WTO’s) development agenda continue to encourage protectionism through proliferation of tariffs and non-tariffs barriers. Further, the ongoing negotiations on Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) involving the East African Countries and the European Union (EU) has introduced new challenges of reciprocity with developed countries in the trading regime.

24 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

While international legal and regulatory frameworks help to create harmony and coherence in the global system, some of them are discriminatory and pose challenges for instance on issues of international labour market. The changing geo-political alignments and resultant bilateral and multilateral adjustments are issues that the Ministry will give attention especially in relation to foreign aid and investment flows. Many countries are looking- east for foreign aid and investment and this seems to generate negative perceptions from traditional sources for foreign aid and investment. In addition, fluctuating international foreign exchange rates affect prices of key imports and exports with potential to affect national development, planning and budgetary processes.

2.2.2 Regional ChallengesRegional stability is key to Kenya’s development goal of becoming a newly industrializing middle income country by the year 2030. Kenya is situated within the conflict prone region of the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa. The spill over effects of instability in the region affect Kenya in many ways such as influx of refugees, proliferation of small arms and light weapons thereby escalating the insecurity situation in the country. Further, conflict situation perpetuate human rights abuses in the form of sex and gender-based violence that disproportionately affects women, children and other vulnerable groups.

Poor infrastructure in the region negatively impacts on intra-regional trade, investment and free movement of goods and services. This is coupled with overlapping membership to regional economic blocs leading to slow implementation of commitments. There is also lack of diversification and specialization in industrial and service sectors as well as inadequate human capital capacity and low investment in technology. These factors are key for rapid and sustainable development yet the region has not developed a mechanism for identifying its priorities. Kenya has been in the forefront in the championing for regional integration, especially the East Africa Community (EAC). This is key in opening up consumer markets for intra-regional markets for products services and capital. However this has been slow mainly due to real or perceived historical ideological orientations.

The Ministry will play a critical role of marketing regional trade and investment opportunities like the Lamu Port & Lamu - Southern Sudan - Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor, the Kenya Uganda railway, and other regional development initiatives to the international investors. In addition the Ministry will initiate negotiations at regional level for application of comparative advantage in production and marketing of goods and services.

2.2.3 National ChallengesPoverty, unemployment and inequality are challenges that the government must address in order to effectively achieve the middle-income country status with a high quality of life for its citizens. In spite of the progress made through the implementation of poverty reduction strategies, the Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation between 2003 and 2007 and subsequently the MDGs, the above remain top on Kenya's development agenda. Addressing these will require resources, both financial, technical and human that are currently and continue to be in short supply.


Other challenges include: overreliance on traditional exports and markets; inadequate and poor infrastructure; un-competitiveness of Kenya’s products in the export markets; cumbersome business regulatory framework; high rate of taxation; high cost of energy and power outages; limited and high cost of finance; underdeveloped ICT infrastructure; inadequate funding for promotion and trade negotiation; lack of clear policy on the link between domestic and international trade; lack of trade and economic experts in Kenya diplomatic missions; lack of a forum for information sharing with business community on international trade; inadequate resources to implement some activities in the performance contract; insecurity associated with proliferation of small arms and light weapons is a key deterrent to development. The other elements of insecurity of key concern are inter-tribal tensions and conflicts that scare away investors as much as they divert the scarce domestic resources that would otherwise be used for beneficial development activities.

Unstable macroeconomic situation, external debt burden, prevalence of HIV/AIDS and lifestyle diseases, corruption, weak governance structures, poor infrastructure, drug trafficking, gender disparity in access to opportunities, resources and representation are other challenges that requires urgent attention.

The Constitution fundamentally changed how the country is governed leading to introduction of two levels of government: National and County Governments. This has widened the scope of activities of the Ministry to include supporting County Governments. The lack of a legislation or framework to guide the engagement of County Governments with the Ministry has a bearing on the extent to which the Ministry can engage with them.

The Ministry’s role in addressing the above national challenges include:

• Finalization of the international trade policy. • Development of a strategy for employment opportunities abroad and in international organizations targeting professionals and the youth. • Strengthening trade negotiations capacity to improve market access for Kenyan products. • Promoting Kenya as an investment destination to attract foreign direct investment. • Holding regular consultative forums with private sector to create awareness on international business opportunities. • Strengthening Foreign Service Institute for human resource development especially in diplomacy and negotiations. • Implementing the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act within the Ministry. • Improving security surveillance in the Ministry and its diplomatic missions to prevent security threats.

26 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

The Ministry will also enhance collaboration and implementation of regional security protocols in partnership with the relevant security agencies. • Providing leadership in implementation of internationally recognized gender equality practices. • Contributing towards strengthening of governance by supporting other MDAs’ engagement with counterparts in foreign countries. • Strengthening the business information/reference centre by linking it to other institutions.

2.3 Ministry Mandate The Fourth Schedule of the Constitution of Kenya identifies Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy and International Trade as a function of the National Government. The reorganization of government vide the Executive Order No. 2 of May 2013 assigns the Ministry of Foreign Affairs additional mandate of International Trade Affairs and Trade Representative-Special Advisory/Negotiation Services.

The Executive Order outlines the functions of the Ministry as: Management of Kenya’s Foreign Policy; Management of Bilateral and Multilateral Relations; Liaison with International and Regional Organizations; Management of Kenya’s Missions and Embassies Abroad; Liaison with foreign Missions in Kenya; Ratification of Treaties, Conventions and Agreements; Management of Diplomatic Privileges and Immunities; Coordination of State and Official Visits; Handling of Protocol Matters; Provision of Consular Services; Management of Joint Commissions and joint trade committees with other Countries; Official Communications on Foreign Affairs and Global Images; International Trade Affairs; Trade Representative – Special Advisory/negotiation services; and Management of Kenya’s Diaspora issues.

The Jubilee Manifesto envisages a strong Kenya for a more stable Africa, and a responsible member of the international community playing its role in promoting regional stability and upholding the rule of law. The Manifesto further underlines the importance of Trade and progressive foreign policy as critical in fostering innovation, opening up external markets, free trade, job creation and promotion of sustainable development for economic growth. Similarly the Kenya Vision 2030, the country’s development blueprint contains the opportunities to be harnessed and challenges to be overcome for Kenya to become a high income country with high standards of living by the year 2030.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is committed to adapt to these changes in both the national and international arenas. In view of the shifting dynamics, the Ministry has factored the new challenges and perspectives in this Strategic Plan.

2.4 Ministry’s Vision, Mission and Core ValuesThe Ministry’s vision, mission and core values are as follows:

2.4.1 Vision StatementA peaceful, prosperous and globally competitive Kenya.


2.4.2 Mission Statement

To project, promote and protect Kenya’s interests and image globally through innovative diplomacy, and contribute towards a just, peaceful and equitable world.

Situation Analysis

3.1 Overview of the Ministry’s achievementsThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is the image of the country abroad and it manifests itself in the 54 missions situated across the world. The Ministry serves as the main link between other line Ministries, Government departments and agencies with the rest of the world. Being the main link between the Government and the rest of the world, the Ministry has successfully executed its mandate. This has put Kenya on the globe on key national, regional and international issues.

3.1.1 Performance review under the Strategic Plan period: 2008 - 2012

The implementation of the Ministry’s strategic plan: 2008 – 2012 resulted in a number of milestone achievements in the areas of peace and security, trade and investment, and diplomacy among others.

Through the Ministry’s efforts, Kenya stands out as a champion of peace, security and stability initiatives both in the United Nations and African Union frameworks. To this end, the Ministry facilitated the political transition process in Somalia that saw Somalia turn around into an emerging legitimate government/administration governed by the rule of law. The Ministry also lobbied for the integration of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) into AMISOM, elevating AMISOM’s mandate from peace keeping to peace enforcement and renewing the mandate of AMISOM for another year up to March, 2014. The Ministry was instrumental in brokering peace in South Sudan which led to the creation of an independent South Sudan culminating in peaceful elections in July, 2011. It has also remained instrumental in shaping Kenya’s interests in other peace and security initiatives that the AU is engaged in, namely; the stabilization process in the Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea Bissau and Mali. Besides this, the Ministry has been on the forefront in coordinating Kenya’s participation in meetings of the African Union (AU); the Inter-governmental Authority on Development (IGAD); International Conferences on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR); the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and East Africa Community (EAC), which are some of the main platforms from which Kenya as a member, articulates its position on peace, security and stability in the region and other interests for the country.

The Ministry also contributed to economic transformation of the country through economic diplomacy targeting to deepen economic cooperation and international trade. The Ministry pursued broader co-operation with non-traditional economic partners, particularly Asia and the Middle East. Specifically, the Ministry initiated, negotiated and concluded several bilateral cooperation agreements in a number of areas such as science and technology, investment, removal of non-tariff barriers, Bilateral Air Services Agreements, labour protection and education among others. Further, the Ministry followed up on the implementation of existing agreements on Joint Commission for Cooperation (JCCs), signed Memorandum of Understanding and trade specific agreements with a number of countries such as Turkey, USA, Brazil, Iran, Cuba, South Africa, China, Nigeria, Israel, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Germany, Slovakia, and Qatar among others in various thematic areas including agriculture, cooperative, security, Education Tourisim, Mining and Transport among others. The Ministry has also coordinated Kenya’s participation and articulation of our foreign policy in various economic forums such as the AGOA, TICAD process, Forum on China–Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), India-Africa, Turkey-Africa, United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and Africa-South America forum.

30 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

The Ministry facilitated the process that led to the launch of COMESA Customs Union in June 2009 by the Summit of Heads of State. Under this framework and other interventions by the Ministry to expand the market share, COMESA has since become Kenya’s leading export destination, accounting for approximately 35.5 percent to total products by 2011. Kenya’s exports to COMESA increased by 63 percent from Kshs. 111.1 billion in 2008 to Kshs. 181.5 billion in 2011. Similarly, there has been an increasing trend of COMESA imports into Kenya. The total imports from COMESA increased by 96 percent from Kshs. 28.2 billion in 2008 to Kshs. 55.2 billion in 2011.

The Ministry coordinated and facilitated a high level delegation to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in June 2012 in Rio (Rio+ 20 Summit) where Kenya was able to persuade the UN to upgrade the Nairobi UN Headquarters and enhance UNEP Governing Council to have universal membership. Further, the Ministry successfully lobbied for the creation of a post of Under Secretary General of the United Nations Office in Nairobi (UNON) in 2011. This obviously impacts positively on Kenya in diplomatic circles making Nairobi a fully fledged UN office, as the fourth UN headquarters after New York, Geneva and Vienna.

The Ministry identified and lobbied for placement of Kenyans in major international organizations. Notably, the Ministry was able to secure the re-election of Mr. Erastus Mwencha as Vice-Chair of the African Union Commission, and Amb. Mahboub Maalim as Executive Secretary of IGAD as well as the election of Mr. Mohammed Amin Adnan as Director General of the International Renewable Energy Agency and Amb. Bishar Hussein as Director-General of the Universal Postal Union among others.

The prominent diplomatic presence and representation of Kenya abroad enables the country to articulate the nation’s interests abroad. Over the review period, the Ministry expanded Kenya’s diplomatic presence by opening five new missions: in South Korea, Turkey, Qatar, Oman and South Sudan and a consulate in Dubai and commissioned four honorary consuls in strategic cities namely: Nagoya in Chubu Region in Japan, Yemen in Yemen, Kyiv in Ukraine and Izmir in Turkey. Through consular services, the Ministry evacuated a number of Kenyans from Libya, Egypt and Japan in 2011 and from the Southern Sudan in 2013.

In order to strengthen its legal, policy and institutional capacity, the Ministry developed the draft Foreign Service Bill, 2014, the Kenya Diaspora Policy and the Kenya Foreign Policy and Foreign Service Regulations. In addition, the Ministry through the Foreign Service Institute has continued to build capacity for diplomats in the region. The institute trained 15 diplomats from Rwanda in 2008; trained 16 senior officials from The Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia; conducted professional training for Diplomats from the Government of South Sudan in 2009 and inducted 19 Senior/Mid-level Diplomats from the Republic of Burundi in 2013. This is in addition to several capacity building and induction training for the Ministry staff on posting to Kenya diplomatic missions abroad.

32 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

3.3 PESTEL Analysis

This analysis assesses the political, economic, social, technological and legal factors that will either support or impede the implementation of the strategic plan. These are factors in the external environment that can either impact favourably or unfavourably on the operations of the Ministry. Table 3.3.1 below presents a summary of the PESTEL analysis.

Table 3.3.1: PESTEL Analysis

PoliticalFactors

The Constitution of Kenya The Constitution of Kenya presents significant opportunities for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in terms of the expanded mandate of the Ministry. With the new government structure of National and County Governments, the Ministry has additional responsibility to coordinate engagements of County Governments with the rest of the world on matters of foreign affairs and international trade and provide protocol and consular services to County Governments among others.

Membership to regional andinternationalorganizations

Kenya is a member of regional and international organizations such as EAC, COMESA, AU, IGAD, the UN, and ICC among others which shape Kenya’s political space and influence the country’s day to day actions. Developments in these organizations will impact on the implementation of this strategic plan.

Regional peace, security and stability and Internationalcrime

Regional peace, security and stability are key to Kenya’s development agenda. Kenya is situated within the conflict prone region of the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa. The spill over effects of instability in the region affects Kenya in many ways such as influx of refugees, proliferation of small arms and light weapons thereby escalating the security situation in the country. International crimes such as terrorism, piracy and cyber crime among others affect the operations of the country. The on-going efforts to fight terrorism and to stabilize Kenya’s neighbouring governments such as Somalia and South Sudan are positive developments for Kenya’s overall prosperity.

Expanded mandate The expanded mandate for the Ministry which brings international trade under foreign affairs presents a big opportunity to the Ministry. The Kenya missions abroad can now better handle matters of international trade unlike previously when the mandate was in a different ministry.


Governance and Corruption The perception of bad governance and rampant corruption in the management of public affairs affect credibility of public service. This must be continuously addressed to earn public confidence and acceptability of the services offered by public service.

Economic Factors

Globalization Globalization presents both opportunities and threats for Kenya. As part of a global village, Kenya can benefit from the global economic opportunities. However, the nation needs to be conscious that it is equally susceptible to the global dynamics like international business trends and competition.

Regional and international Economic cooperation

Concerted efforts have been made by countries to form regional and economic blocs to maximize on economic benefits. These blocs include EAC, COMESA, and EU among others. These blocs have the potential to significantly impact on the economy either positively or negatively through expansion of markets for goods and services and flow of the same or dumping of substandard goods or creating trade imbalances.

The proposal to merge COMESA, EAC and SADC will expand the free trade area to cover more than 527 million people with a combined estimated gross domestic product of about $624 billion. This will indeed boost Intra-Africa trade.

Shifting economic interests Economic interests for countries are dynamic and vary in accordance with changes in the international economic arena. Many countries have multiple membership in the economic blocs and developments in each of them trigger realignment of strategic cooperation and shifting economic relations which could significantly affect the cooperation and the benefits. Kenya has increasingly shifted pursuance of economic interests to the East while maintaining and strengthening the trade relations with the traditional trade partners, an approach that is helping the country to maximize economic benefits from this economic cooperation.

34 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

Social Factors Culture Kenya has diverse and rich cultures that can be tapped to increase the economic benefits. Cultural diplomacy presents an opportunity for Kenya to maximize the economic benefits of the diverse and rich culture of the people of Kenya. Culture can be used to promote friendship and mutual understanding among peoples of different countries as well as to promote positive economic and trade relations. Encouraging patenting of some of Kenya’s cultural products is one way of promoting and safeguarding Kenya’s heritage. Kenyans in the Diaspora can equally position themselves to draw gains from culture.

Population growth Population growth rate in the world and age distribution among others are factors that will determine the way the country will engage other countries across the globe. Kenya stands to reap demographic dividend from its predominantly young population since it is skilled and can be employable at a cost that makes our products and services globally competitive

Unemployment and povertylevels

The unemployment levels especially amongst the youth and overall poverty pose a threat to stable development of the country. The idle and poor population is at risk to engage in illegal and criminal activities and is also prone to human trafficking in the guise of looking for jobs abroad where they end up stranded and distressed requiring the intervention of the Ministry.

Technological factors

Communication andinteraction of people

The world has experienced tremendous technological development in information and communications technology which have reduced it into a global village. Processes, movements and communication are now much faster and efficient. However the technology related crimes remain a challenge in the usage of electronic mode of communication.


Legal Factors Legislation and policy framework

The Constitution of Kenya fundamentally changed how the country is governed leading to introduction of two levels of government, National and County Governments. This has widened the scope of activities of the Ministry to include support to County Governments. But the lack of legislation or framework to guide the engagement of County Governments with the Ministry has a bearing on the extent to which the Ministry can engage with them. Also finalization of the Foreign Service Bill, 2014, the Kenya Diaspora Policy, Foreign Service Regulations and the Kenya Foreign Policy will impact on the manner this plan will be implemented.

Development and adoption of international laws will also impact positively or negatively on how the plan will be implemented. Specifically, the proposed reforms under ICC will have some impact on the Kenya’s Foreign Policy.

40 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

3.5 Lessons Learnt from Implementation of the Ministry’s Strategic Plan:2008-2012

This Strategic Plan builds on experiences and lessons learnt from the previous Strategic Plan which was the first Plan to be aligned to the Results Based Management approach and the MTEF process. The plan was implemented for a period of five years, from 2008/2009 to 2012/2013. The lessons learnt during the plan implementation period include:

• Aligning of the Ministry’s Strategic Plan with national development plans such as the Kenya Vision 2030, Medium Term Plans, performance contracting and Medium Term Expenditure Framework is very significant since it facilitates realignment of both the national and Ministry priorities with the planning and budgetary processes.

• There is need for wide consultations and engagement with Kenya Diplomatic Missions, Directorates and Divisions in the development and implementation of the Plan, particularly, in setting priorities and targets. This promotes ownership and enhances implementation of the plan.

• Monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the plan on a regular basis is critical. This will enable the Ministry to be accountable while implementing its programmes and priorities, and hence, improving outcomes.

• All Diplomatic Missions, being the key drivers in implementing the Ministry Strategic plan, should develop Strategic Plans that are predicated on the Ministry one. This will lead to homogeneity in the implementation of Ministry policy priorities and programmes as well as budgeting, monitoring and evaluation.

• Efforts to increase efficiency should be continued especially the use of modern technology, research and development as well as innovation.

• Several programmes and activities are intertwined with the global, regional and sub-regional dynamics. The occurrences at global,regional and sub-regional arena shape the direction and pace of the implementation of the Ministry’s programmes. The Ministry may not have control on such issues and must re-align its priorities accordingly.

• Adequate human and financial resources are critical for successful execution of the planned priorities and programmes. This plan proposes to engage development partners to mobilise external resources to supplement government exchequer funding for its implementation.

• A number of international commitments and obligations such as agreements and MOUs are implemented in collaboration with MDAs. This requires close collaboration between the ministry and MDAs to ensure timely implementation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting.

4.1 Ministerial Strategic Issues, Objectives and Strategies

Kenya has played a significant role in the international arena majorly due to its extensive diplomatic presence and representation through the country’s diplomatic missions abroad. Kenya is an active member of both regional and international organizations such as EAC, COMESA, IGAD, AU and the United Nations among others. These organizations provide a platform for the Ministry to address and shape the international opinion to the interests and values that Kenya as a sovereign state stands for.

To continue to play an enhanced role in the international arena, the Ministry needs a strategic plan that sets out objectives, priorities and strategies that it intends to pursue to achieve tangible and measurable results. In this regard, the Ministry has identified six strategic issues, with the corresponding strategic objectives and specific strategies required to address them. The six strategic issues are: Kenya’s Sovereignty, Territorial Integrity, Peace, Security and Stability; Economic Cooperation, International Trade and Investment; Kenya’s Interests Abroad; Diaspora Engagement and Consular Services; Public Diplomacy and Stakeholders Engagement and Policy, Legal and Institutional Capacity.

CoordinationFramework and Institutional Capacity

54 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

5.1 Introduction

The successful implementation of this Strategic Plan hinges on three things. First, is a proper coordination framework based on the organizational structure of the Ministry defining the reporting and feedback channels that must not only be effective but also efficient. Second, is the human resource capacity and third the financial resources. Consequently, the full involvement, effort, commitment and leadership from the Ministry staff and all the stakeholders, will be critical for the Ministry to realize the aspirations of this strategic plan. In addition, it will require that resources are mobilized and utilization of the same focuses on the achievement of the objectives spelt out in the plan. Third, Political goodwill and management support will be critical in actualising some of the activities outlined in this plan particularly those relating to expansion of diplomatic presence across the globe.

This chapter addresses implementation challenges and concerns and in particular structural issues, capacity building gaps and resource requirements to support the effective implementation of this strategic plan.

In addition to the strategies identified in chapter four under the strategic model, the Ministry will focus on the following for successful implementation of this plan:

5.1.1 Continuous Human Resource Development

The Ministry will endeavour to develop the necessary competencies and skills for staff to deliver quality services. An elaborate plan for capacity development will be developed and implemented to build this capacity within the Ministry. 5.1.2 Capacity Assessment The Ministry will continuously undertake capacity assessment to determine optimal capacity levels to implement the strategic plan. Already capacity gaps in terms of numbers and training and skills have been identified across all cadres which this strategic plan has proposed to address along its implementation to ensure its success. Further, the ministry plans to strengthen the skills of their employees through, induction programmes, multi-skilling, training, collaboration with research and training institutions, and strengthening of the Foreign Service Institute among others. The Ministry will therefore carry out a training needs assessment to determine capacity gaps for continous human resource development during the plan period.

5.1.3 Staff motivation and work environment For efficient and effective service delivery, the ministry requires qualified and well-motivated employees working in a suitable environment. The ministry is cognizant of the fact that many factors contribute towards motivation and morale of employees. During the plan period, the Ministry will review the Foreign Service Regulations and also develop and implement employee recognition and reward scheme for the best performing staff both at the Ministry headquarters and in its missions abroad. This will be administered through the performance contract and performance appraisal system frameworks.

The ministry will further improve working conditions by, among other things, optimal utilization of the current office space; acquiring ultra modern building to house the Ministry headquarters, providing adequate office space and residential housing for the Kenya diplomatic mission staff, provision of office equipment and furniture and reducing administrative procedures through adoption of contemporary management practices.


5.1.4 Financial Challenges Financial constraints across the entire government remain a major impediment to successful implementation of government programmes and projects. Under this strategic plan we envisage a similar challenge where resource requirements for this Strategic Plan falls short of the resource allocation to the Ministry by the National Treasury. To address this, the Ministry will continue to exercise prudent financial management and implement the austerity measures to cut down on wastages. The Ministry will also engage the National Treasury to enhance the budgetary ceiling, improve collection of A-in-A revenues from visa fees and other services and engage development partners to supplement these efforts to bridge this gap.

5.1.5 Ministry’s Linkage to County Governments

The current Constitution of Kenya created two levels of government namely; the National and County Governments. Though the functions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade fall under the National Government, this Ministry will work in close collaboration with County Governments. The Ministry has established the Liaison, Parliamentary and County Services Department to provide the link between the Ministry and County Governments and Parliament. The County Governments and Parliament will also require protocol services and trade facilitation among other services to effectivley engage with the outside world.This Ministry will therefore develop a framework of engagement to promote partnership and collaboration with County Governments.

5.5.2 Resource mobilization

As indicated earlier, the resource requirments for this Strategic Plan is Kshs 98.77 billion averaging to about Kshs 19.754 billion annualy for the next four years and a deficit of Kshs 38 billion over the plan period or an annual average of Kshs 7 billion. Consequently, the Ministry will need to mobilise resources in different ways to bridge this gap. In this regard, the Ministry will continue to engage the National Treasury to allocate more resources to implement this strategic plan. The Ministry will also enhance collection of A-in-A particularly from consular services charges. In addition, the Ministry will engage development partners to raise resources to finance some of the activities outlined in this strategic Plan.

80 Strategic Plan 2013/14-2017/18

Chapter

Monitoring, Evaluation andReporting

6


The overall aim of this strategic plan is to set out the objectives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to be pursued up to 2017. The plan will therefore guide the Ministry’s efforts in promoting, projecting and enhancing Kenya’s foreign and trade policies over the plan period.

In view of the many challenges facing the Ministry ahead, this strategic plan takes cognizance of this challenging future and the dynamic international environment in which this Ministry operates. It thus defines objectives, strategies and activities to be pursued by the Ministry and the key performance indicators to monitor implementation of the plan to ensure that the goals of the Ministry are achieved. Monitoring and evaluating the implementation of this plan will provide useful feedback on the basis of which informed and evidence based management decisions will be made.

In the current performance contracting dispensation, the Ministry monitors and evaluates its activities and performance on a quarterly and annual basis. Therefore to ensure coherence in tracking results in the Ministry, monitoring and evaluating the implementation of this plan will be regularized and synchronized with performance contract reporting. This means the quarterly and annual performance contract reports will constitute useful information in reporting on the progress of implementing this plan. However, given that the scope of performance contract reports may be narrow, independent annual reviews for this plan will be undertaken to measure the success and identify shortcomings if any in the strategic plan. The annual reviews will provide invaluable feedback for the Ministry to strengthen its performance in providing quality services to the public and in delivering on its overall mandate. The Strategic Plan will therefore form the basis for preparation of ministerial performance contract annual targets and the annual work plans and budgets.

The Ministry will also undertake a comprehensive mid-term review of the implementation of the Strategic Plan. This review will aim to evaluate the cumulative successes achieved by the plan and focus on the half period remaining. The review will further assess whether the Ministry will be on track to attain all its targets as set out in the plan or if there would be need to vary the targets accordingly especially to accommodate any emerging issues in the international arena.

Actual monitoring and evaluating the progress in implementing this plan will be based on the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) identified in the implementation matrix of this plan. The KPIs will be the basis of measuring the success or failures so far achieved. Responsible directorates,departments and divisions will use the KPIs to monitor their activities as spelt out in the strategic plan and document the successes and failures on regular basis as they implement them. However, overall monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the strategic plan and documenting the successes and shortcomings of the plan including the annual review process will be coordinated by the Central Planning and Project Monitoring Department (CPPMD). In this regard, the rest of the directorates/departments/divisions will not only be expected to work closely with the CPPMD, but also to prepare and submit their progress reports to CPPMD.
