The Master Plan 2014-2017 which firmly grounded on the e-Government Strategy 2004, the first National ICT Policy of 2005 and The Master Plan 2013, adopted a conceptual model that espoused the critical elements necessary for a social-, economic- and political-wide pervasive and ubiquitous ICT for rapid and broad contribution to growth. The Master Plan categorized the ICT elements into foundations and pillars as a conceptual model to foster understanding and structuring the strategic interventions. The foundations included; ICT human capital and workforce development, Integrated ICT infrastructure and Integrated information infrastructure. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.kippra.or.ke/handle/123456789/1842 National Tourism Blueprint 2030 The Kenyan tourism industry plays an important role in the economy of Kenya but the industry has experienced challenges in recent years due to the negative impacts of events such as the terrorist attacks in Nairobi in 2013. This, together with a lack of competitiveness in tourism product supply with other African regions, has contributed to lower levels of demand for tourism. The Tourism Strategy is intended to identify critical drivers and enablers of tourism growth for the country and will provide a practical implementation plan towards the achievement of the country’s overarching tourism and economic goals. The objectives of the project are as follows... 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.kippra.or.ke/handle/123456789/1727 Digital Economy Blueprint: Powering Kenya’s Transformation This Blueprint seeks to provide a conceptual framework adopted by Kenya in its quest towards the realisation of a successful and sustainable digital economy. It commences with a brief overview of the digital economy ecosystem, then proceeds to evaluate some of the currently held definition of the digital economy by relying on a much broader concept. The Blueprint defines the digital economy as “the entirety of sectors that operate using digitally-enabled communications and networks leveraging internet, mobile and other technologies” irrespective of industry. The document proceeds to highlight the importance of investing in a digital economy, where some valuable statistics are provided on the relative value of global investments in mobile services systems mainly within financial markets, e-commerce platforms, among others. Adoption of the Digital Economy framework offers countries like Kenya opportunities to leapfrog and join nations in the First World and actively contribute to the global economy... A Digital Economy Blueprint to create a digitally empowered citizenry, living in a digitally enabled society. 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.kippra.or.ke/handle/123456789/1724 The Kenya National ICT Masterplan: Towards a Digital Kenya The purpose of this Master Plan is to review and update the Connected Kenya Master Plan launched in February 2013 with a view to extend stakeholders participation and take into account changes in the Jubilee digital Government. This Master Plan has three foundations and three pillars. The foundations are the critical things that need to happen in order to lay a basis of Kenya transitioning to a Knowledge Society and positioning the country as a regional ICT hub while the pillars are meant to facilitate the achievement of socio-economic growth and Vision 2030 targets. The first foundation of this Master plan is ICT human capital and workforce development which aims at developing quality ICT human resources as a pre-requisite to the development of a viable ICT sector. Key to this being ensuring that ICT development, implementation and exploitation are an integral and sustainable component of development. The second foundation is Integrated ICT infrastructure, which seeks to provide the integrated infrastructure backbone required to enable cost effective delivery of ICT products and services to Kenyans; and the third foundation is Integrated information infrastructure which aims at improving the quality of e-Government services and enable the country to transition to a knowledge-based society. This is through ensuring maximum access to information held by public authorities by all Kenyans and that public information is readily available through consolidated portals in an affordable and secure way...

The purpose of this Master Plan is to have all ICT projects and developments within the Judiciary aligned to the priorities as outlined in the Judiciary Strategic Plan 2014-2018 and SJT (2017-2021) and aims at automating the Judiciary processes. The Judiciary Strategic Plan points out that ICT has enormous potential to provide a quantum leap in the administration of justice. It states that properly harnessed and deployed ICT infrastructure will augment efficiency and effectiveness of both back office and court processes and thus facilitate speedier trials. This Master Plan has three components namely: The Foundations, Pillars and the key flagship projects. The foundations are built by the ICT Infrastructure Development, Human resource and change management as well as legal, policy and institutional framework. The Pillars are the e-Court System, Enterprise System and Collaboration System ICT. The foundation and pillar have identified over 30 ICT projects and prioritised six (6) projects known as the Flagship projects. The projects are; The Court Management System (CMS), the Court Transcription System (CTS), the Integrated Financial Management System (IFMS), the Human resource and performance management, the ICT Connectivity Infrastructure, the Judiciary Intranet to improve internal communication. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.kippra.or.ke/handle/123456789/156 First Medium Term Plan, 2008-2012: A Globally Competitive and Prosperous Kenya; Kenya Vision 2030 This Medium Term Plan (MTP) identifies the key policy actions and reforms as well as programmes and projects that the Grand Coalition Government intends to implement in the period 2008-2012. It is the foundation for the first phase of implementing Kenya Vision 2030, Kenya’s new, long term policy blueprint. The overall objective is to realise a higher and sustainable growth of the economy in a more equitable environment, accompanied by increased employment opportunities. The MTP incorporates the activities identified in the Report of the National Accord Implementation Committee on National Reconciliation and Emergency Social and Economic Recovery and the country’s One-Year Economic and Social Recovery Plan, all of which target a quick economic and social recovery, following the destructive aftermath of the December 2007 General elections.

It builds on the achievements of the first and second MTPs and prioritizes implementation of the “Big Four” initiatives. The initiatives are: increasing the manufacturing share of GDP from 9.2 per cent to 15 per cent and agro-processing to at least 50 per cent of total agricultural output; providing affordable housing by building 500,000 affordable houses across the country; enhancing Food and Nutrition Security (FNS) through construction of large-scale multi-purpose and smaller dams for irrigation projects, construction of food storage facilities and implementation of high impact nutritional interventions and other FNS initiatives; and, achieving 100 per cent Universal Health Coverage. Additionally, the Plan targets to improve Kenya’s ranking in the Ease of Doing Business Indicator from position 80 to at least 45 out of 189. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.kippra.or.ke/handle/123456789/140 Second Medium Term Plan 2013-2017: Transforming Kenya: Pathway to Devolution, Socio-Economic Development, Equity and National Unity The second Medium Term Plan (MTP) of Vision 2030 identifies key policy actions, reforms, programmes and projects that the Government will implement in the 2013-2017 period in line with its priorities, the Kenya 2010 constitution and the long-term objective of Vision 2030. Accordingly, the theme of this MTP is Transforming Kenya: Pathway to Devolution, Socio-Economic Development, Equity and National Unity. The MTP gives priority to devolution as spelt out in our constitution and to more rapid socio-economic development with equity as a tool for building national unity). The Second MTP also aims to build on the successes of the first MTP (2008-2012), particularly in increasing the scale and pace of economic transformation through infrastructure development, and strategic emphasis on priority sectors under the economic and social pillars of Vision 2030. Under this MTP, transformation of the economy is pegged on rapid economic growth on a stable macro-economic environment, modernisation of our infrastructure, diversification and commercialisation of agriculture, food security, a higher contribution of manufacturing to our GDP, wider access to African and global markets, wider access for Kenyans to better quality education and health care, job creation targeting unemployed youth, provision of better housing and provision of improved water sources and sanitation to Kenyan households that presently lack these. In doing all this, Kenya will pay full attention to securing our environment and building our resilience to climate change. Much of this will be done in collaboration with county governments and new urban management boards as provided for under the constitution and our laws. The overall aim of the plan is that by 2018 Kenyan families will have experienced a positive transformation in their earnings and quality of their livelihoods, and Kenya will be a more united, more prosperous society commanding respect in African and the world.

The Plan is a strategic vision that defines the general trend and direction of spatial development for the country, covering the entire forty seven counties and the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). It is a long term Plan spanning a period of thirty (30) years with 10 year periodical reviews. The preparation of the National Spatial Plan is recommended under Kenya Vision 2030 as a flagship project. under the Infrastructure Services section it has been identified as one of the foundations for socio-economic transformation. The purpose of the National Spatial Plan is to provide a national spatial structure that defines how the national space is utilized to ensure optimal and sustainable use of land. This is imperative as it will facilitate the achievement of the land policy principles of efficiency, equity, sustainability and productivity. The Plan is anticipated to promote the attainment of national, social, economic and environmental goals and objectives. Further, the Plan provides strategies and policies to deal with national challenges including urbanization, regional imbalances/inequalities, rural development, environmental degradation, transportation and underutilization of the massive resources available in the country. In Kenya the emphasis has hitherto been on economic planning with little or no regard for spatial/physical planning. This major disconnect has led to uncoordinated and unguided development resulting not only in duplication of efforts but also in resource wastage and unbalanced development. The Plan will thus provide a spatial framework upon which the various sectoral plans and policies will be anchored. The Plan as a broad Physical Planning framework shall provide physical planning policies to support economic and sectoral planning and also guide the preparation of regional, county and local physical development plans.

Under this pillar, education and training is expected to be the principle catalyst towards realization of Vision 2030. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 makes education a basic right under the e Bill of Rights where basic education is guaranteed for all children and the state is obliged to make its provision possible progressively. In light of Vision 2030, other levels of education and training such as technical and vocal education will play a crucial role in transforming the country to a middle income economy. Various strategic issues emerged during the implementation of the KESSP and the first Medium Term Plan as well as the need to align the education sector to the Constitution of Kenya 2010. These factors have necessitated the sector to review its policies, legal framework and carry out institutional reforms and draw a sector plan within which programmes and activities to enhance the quality and relevance of education have been proposed. Chapter 1 presents an overview of the sector giving background information and setting the context in which the sector planning is being undertaken. The chapter discusses the achievements of the first medium term, challenges confronted in implementing the sector plan as well as lessons learned. Chapter 2 discusses the legal and policy frameworks upon which education and training is anchored. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 having been promulgated in the first medium term gave the sector the task of reviewing its policies. The chapter presents an overview of the Task Force Reports and the recommendations therein. It also discusses the pieces of legislations already enacted as well as those that the sector is keen on enacting towards achieving its maximum potential. Chapter 3 introduces the priority areas the sector will address in the second medium term. The priories, the sector is confident will go a long way in contributing to the transformation of education and training in the country. The priority areas identified include: actualizing the right to free and compulsory basic education; enhancing quality and relevance of education; integrating ICT into teaching and learning; enhancing governance of education sector; improving quality and relevance of post basic Education; and financing Education and Training. Chapter four presents the activities and projects that sector will implement in addressing the priority areas identified in chapter three. Some of the projects and activities include massive vi infrastructural improvement across the education and training institution; Teacher recruitment top arrest the high teacher shortage in the country; procurement of laptops for primary schools; establishing and operationalizing bodies created by various Acts of Parliament; strengthening the human capacities in universities to be able to deliver quality research and training. In addition the chapter isolates the flagship projects that will be key to demonstrating the success o the plan at the end of the implementation period. The flagship projects identified include: ECDE Mainstreaming; establishment of EMIS centres in each of the 47 counties; Curriculum Review and Reform; ICT integration in education; Basic Education infrastructure which include constructing/rehabilitating 46,000 classrooms and 92,000 toilets in ECDE centres; constructing extra classes in secondary schools to ensure each school is at least three streamed; and constructing 600 new secondary schools. The infrastructure programme will also span tertiary institutions and universities where the sector will: establish 11 TVET centres of specialization in different disciplines, fully equipped with state of the art training facilities and well trained staff; establish Open TVET; upgrade 10 TTIs into National Polytechnics; and establish National Open University of Kenya. Chapter 5 presents the implementation matrix for operationalizing the activities in the sector plan. The matrix gives the goal of each programme as well as the specific objectives under the goal. It indicates the expected outputs, performance indicators, implementing agencies, timeframe and the resource requirement for each activity/project. Medium Term plan 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z
