Policy Brief No. 51 of 2018-2019 on Boosting Investments for Delivery of the Kenya Vision 2030

Abstract

The quality and impact of higher investments depend on incentives, innovations and institutions. Improvement of the business environment is also vital for greater utilization of natural resources to accelerate productivity and rejuvenate stagnating industries to provide more jobs for the youth and women. The Kenya Economic Report 2018 focuses on investments that can support delivery of the desired 10% economic growth for sustainable development as aspired in the Kenya Vision 2030, and especially in view of the "Big Four" : agenda that focuses on manufacturing, food· and nutritional security, universal health care; and affordable housing. This policy brief explores the investment options in selected key sectors expected to deliver the Vision 2030 objectives.
