  • The Mdgs and Sauri Millennium Village in Kenya
    An Island of Success in a Sea of Failure? The MDGs and Sauri Millennium Village in Kenya Amrik Kalsi MBA: Master of Business Administration MSc: Master of Science in Management and Organisational Development MA: Master of Arts A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 The School of Social Science Abstract For a number of decades, foreign aid-supported poverty reduction and development concepts, and policies and programmes developed by development agencies and experts implemented since the 1950s, have produced limited short-term and sometimes contradictory results in Kenya. In response to this problem in 2000, the adoption of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) was in many respects a tremendous achievement, gaining unprecedented international support. The MDGs model has since become the policy of choice to reduce poverty and hunger in developing countries by half between 2000 and 2015, being implemented by the Millennium Village Project (MVP) ‘Big-Push’ model, seemingly designed as a ‘bottom-up’ approach. Poverty reduction and sustainable development are key priorities for the Kenyan government and the Kenya Vision 2030 blueprint project. The MDGs process, enacted as the Millennium Village Project (MVP) in Kenya for poverty reduction, is now at the centre of intense debate within Kenya. It is widely recognised that foreign aid maintained MVP and sustainable development through the UN and local efforts, especially in their present form, have largely failed to address poverty in Kenya. Furthermore, not enough was known about the achievements of the MVP model in real- world situations when the MVP model interventions were applied in the Sauri village.

  • Kenya Sector Plan for Science, Technology and Innovation
    REPUBLIC OF KENYA SECTOR PLAN FOR SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION 2013-2017 KENYA Revitalizing and Harnessing Science, Technology and Innovation for Kenya’s Prosperity and Global Competitiveness i FOREWORD The government recognizes the key role played by Science, Technology and Innovation (ST&I) in wealth creation and building human capital required for the transition to a knowledge driven economy. Vision 2030 proposes to intensify the application of ST&I to raise productivity and efficiency levels across the three pillars of national development. As a result, the Government is implementing the ST&I policy framework through the identification, acquisition, transfer, diffusion and application of relevant ST&I knowledge in all sectors of the economy. The first Medium Term Plan (MTP) 2008-2012 was developed based on the challenges identified in vision 2030 and other policy documents. It was implemented through a coordinated action plan within the context of economic, social and political pillars of the economy. The development of capacities of the national innovation system has been fast tracked to ensure the competitiveness in the international technology market, based on the targeted programmes from the identified sectoral areas. However, more need to be done and as a result, the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and its stakeholders have developed the second MTP for 2013-2017 for the Science, Technology and Innovation sector. This second MTP (2013-2017) proposes more strategic and bold programmes to address the persisting macroeconomic and social-economic challenges, facing the country. The objective of the second MTP is to achieve the transformation to a knowledge based economy that integrates ST&I in national production processes and create technology platforms essential for the development of products, processes and services in a wide range of sectors.

    International Journal of Scientific Research and Innovative Technology Vol. 2 No. 1; January 2015 HEALTH POLICIES IN KENYA AND THE NEW CONSTITUTION FOR VISION 2030 Agnes W. Kibui, PhD. Senior Lecturer,University of Nairobi, School of Education. Ruth K. Mugo, PhD. Tutorial Fellow, University of Nairobi, School of Education. Grace Nyaga, Senior Lecturer, University of Nairobi, School of Education. Ngesu L. M, PhD. Senior Lecturer, University of Nairobi, School of Education. Mwaniki I. N, PhD. Senior Lecturer, University of Nairobi, College of Humanities and Social Science. Bernard Mwaniki, M.A. Student in Development Studies, St. Pauls University. Abstract Promoting global health ensures progress in basic humanitarian values in saving and improving lives. In recent years, improving global health has proven its advanced value in promoting security and constructive cooperation between countries. A strategic and long-term global health policy helps countries in advancing their core interests in establishing lasting collaborations that save and improve lives of millions globally. This policy helps in creating an environment that enables countries to possess their goals and programs where assessment, cost-effectiveness, and responsibility assume imperative roles. Health challenges are more acute in sub-Saharan Africa compared to other developed nations. These challenges are embedded in a broader context of poverty, poorly developed infrastructure, politically instigated conflicts and disappointingly managed governmental institutions. The sub-Saharan Africa region remains a target of global public health policies and intercessions. Fighting against AIDS, TB, and Malaria, for example, has, in the last decade, spurred an exceptional mobilization of resources to Africa. The Kenya health policies give directions to ensure considerable developments in the position of health in the country.
