Third Medium Term Plan 2018-2022: Transforming Lives, Advancing Socio-Economic Development Through the “Big Four”

Abstract

Third Medium Term Plan (MTP III) of the Kenya Vision 2030 outlines the main policies, legal and institutional reforms as well as programmes and projects that the Government plans to implement during the period 2018-2022. 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.
