| dc.description.abstract | The CFSP 2018 has been prepared against a backdrop of a resilient Kenyan economy in the context of a global economy which is picking up from its previous slowdown, supported by improving domestic demand in advanced economies and China and improved performance in other emerging market economies, and the easing of the broad-based slowdown in sub-Saharan Africa. These positive dynamics in the international and Kenyan economies portend economic premiums for the county, in the form of increased National Transfers, increased agricultural production, enhanced value addition and exports, and benefit from reduced fluctuations in oil prices and imports, stable commodity prices, and access to credit for investment and employment creation. The paper contains broad strategic interventions with the purpose of achieving five main transformations or outcomes, namely: investing in water services; investing in agricultural production and food security; investing in roads infrastructure; investing in social services; and investing in cooperatives development and management. Investments in the five areas will be expected to transform lives of residents of Uasin Gishu County. | en_US |
