Abstract

Kenya Vision 2030 is new long-term development blueprint for the country. It is motivated by collective aspiration for a much better society than the one we have today, by the year 2030. The aim of Kenya Vision 2030 is “the globally competitive and prosperous country with a high quality of life by 2030.” It aims at transforming Kenya into “a newlyindustrialising, middle income country providing a high quality of life to all its citizens in a clean and secure environment”. In other words the vision aspires to meet the MDGs for Kenyans. The Vision was consultative and inclusive stakeholders’ process carried out between October 2006 and May 2007. Specifically, the process involved international and local experts, ordinary Kenyans and stakeholders from all parts of the country. Between July and August 2007, the contents of the Vision 2030 were again subjected to open consultations in all districts in Kenya, before the finalization of the document. The Vision is anchored on three key pillars: Economic; Social; and Political Governance. The economic pillar aims to achieve an economic growth rate of 10 per cent per annum and sustaining the same till 2030 in order to generate more resources to address the MDGs.
