  • Strategic Plan for Central Bureau of Statistics, Kenya MAP of KENYA
    REPUBLIC OF KENYA MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT 2003/4-2007/8 STRATEGIC PLAN FOR NATIONAL STATISTICAL SYSTEM March, 2003 Strategic Plan for Central Bureau of Statistics, Kenya MAP OF KENYA i Strategic Plan for Central Bureau of Statistics, Kenya FOREWORD The National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) promised the people of Kenya that when elected in December 2002 general elections to form the new government, it would do two main things: to reverse the trend of political repression and authoritarianism and restore democratic governance, the rule of law and respect of human rights, and to empower the people. The government would create 500,000 jobs annually and provide free primary education to all school going age children. The NARC government is not only keen to deliver on these promises but must be seen to do so. Accordingly, the government is in advanced stages of formulating programmes to deliver good governance of the polity and an Economic Recovery Action Plan geared towards turning the economy around. The government is very much aware about the need for better statistics to inform the design, implementation and eventual evaluation of various development programmes for economic recovery and national development. These statistics will, no doubt, come from different institutions - government Ministries and departments, public sector institutions and, of course, the Central Bureau of Statistics. The Bureau is expected to play a greater role than before in the development of national statistics; it will have to develop standards, promote best practices and coordinate the entire National Statistical System to ensure that better statistics are produced for better planning, policy formulation, programme design and development, and effective implementation.
