Abstract/ Overview
This Sessional Paper on National Poverty Eradication highlights the policies and strategies to tackle poverty in Kenya over the period 1999 - 2015 as outlined in the National Poverty Eradication Plan (NPEP). The Plan presents a vision for the 21st century, when Kenya hopes to halt the current increase in the incidence of poverty and then eradicate it step by step. It also sets a framework for institutionalizing poverty eradication in Kenya and reducing the incidence of poverty to less than 30% of the total population by the year 2015. The Plan has been formulated in line with the goals and commitments of the World Summit for Social Development held in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1995. The goals that were adopted focus on: the eradication of poverty; the achievement of Universal Primary Education (UPE); various aspects of Health for All; and the social integration of disadvantaged people.
