Abstract/ Overview
The Government recognizes the importance of sports in building capacities both in individuals and communities that enable them to participate effectively in socio-economic development. Engagement in sports is essential for nurturing and sustaining good health. It plays a key role in creating opportunities for individuals and communities to play and work together, thus creating a cohesive society that is an essential base for a strong and prosperous nation. The Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2005 on the Kenya National Sports Policy (K.N.S.P.) presents a framework on which sustainable growth and development of sports in Kenya will be based. The Sessional Paper provides policy guidance on sports growth and development through application of a holistic approach to mutually agreeable operational principles, administrative practices and resource utilization procedures among all organizations involved in sports activities. The document is a product of a participatory process involving broad consultations with all stakeholders in sports. It is envisaged that stakeholders: public and private sectors, donors, NGO's, local communities and individuals will forge partnerships to support the development of sports in Kenya. It is the intention of the Government to mainstream sports into all spheres of national development. An effective mechanism will be put in place to continously monitor and evaluate implementation of the Kenya National Sports Policy (2002) in order to facilitate continuous development, adaptation, revision and improvement of sports in the country.
