1. AREAS WITH THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON REDUCING POVERTY IN KENYA
First I thank the World Bank and international partners on the ongoing progress in poverty reduction.
Kenya is a brilliant and innovative country, I believe a million ideas and talents a still with the people,
investing in areas with long term solutions will help replenish the ideas into productive gains and
sustainability. Kenya being a key country in Africa with strong institutions and development programs
can be better placed as to achieve its vision.
One area is knowledge transfer and well-structured knowledge exchange program can impact heavily on
reduction of poverty. This will cut across all levels in development and enhance technology transfer. This
contributes to social, cultural and diversity benefits to communities. We thank Food and Agriculture
Organization through their program on African youths in allowing better sharing of knowledge and
developments solutions. This will boost equal opportunities in agriculture sector, help address
inefficiencies in all sectors, empower communities through introduction of technology hence efficient
management of resources, and environmental benefits.
Second area is job creation, adequate and sustainable jobs. This can be done through re-orientation and
structuring existing programs effectively to better align them with each un-employment type. Investing
on the demand side through growth of employers in sectors like manufacturing, business and firms that
will create demand of workers. Introduction of new programs like entrepreneurship programs, training-
to-employment programs, apprenticeship and experience programs with components of post-
placement to address and equip youths with necessary work related skills, information on market needs,
work experience and access to work opportunities. Commit to hiring and training of youths through
volunteer ship and training programs to act as temporary work and creation of a service by inclusion in
the organizations and society through extension programs and recreational activities to impact
discipline, leadership and to foster a sense of belonging in the society.
Third area is Human Capital Development through fostering quality education and introduction of
vocational education to deliver the skills needed in current economy and incubate more potential
workforce. Expansion of education to equip young ones with necessary skills, Thanks to the Tusome
early Literacy program. Constant training of teachers to align them with current issues hence addresses
technology and leadership shortage. Expatriates to train locals in various development projects and
empower communities to invest in productive activities.
Forth area is Provision of social amenities through the element of social responsibility to address the
deficit in societies. Restructuring the national safety net program to make it more efficient, improving
access to sustainable livelihood. Provision of universal access to social services like health centers,
schools, clean water, proper sanitation, electricity through upgrading infrastructure, Improving
livelihood of slums and more opportunities to slum dwellers. Expanding beyond zero campaign to
address more than infant mortality and making it more universal hence make it easier to access.
What is more important is Kenyan’s should be disciplined and learn to respect.
