The Vision was officially launched in July 2008. The Vision comprises of three key pillars: Economic; Social; and Political. The Economic Pillar aims to achieve an average economic growth rate of 10 per cent per annum and sustaining the same until 2030. The Social Pillar seeks to engender just, cohesive and equitable social development in a clean and secure environment, while the Political Pillar aims to realize an issue-based, people-centred, result oriented and accountable democratic system. The three pillars are anchored on the foundations of macroeconomic stability; infrastructural development; Science, Technology and Innovation (STI); Land Reforms; Human Resource Development; Security, Public Sector Reforms and a National Value System. The implementation of Vision 2030 is a progressive process with goals and milestones that will be achieved over time. It is implemented in successive 5-year cycles called Medium Term Plans (MTPs). The first MTP was implemented between 2008 and 2012 and the second MTP for the period 2013-2017 themed “Transforming Kenya: Pathway to Devolution, Social-Economic Development, Equity and National Unity”, was launched by H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta. 1.0 IMPLEMENTATION STATUS Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat (VDS) receives quarterly reports from implementing Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs). The following is a detailed report of some of the projects under each pillar. 2 ENABLERS & MACRO 1.1 INFRASTRUCTURE Deploying World Class Infrastructure Facilities and Services The realization of the objectives and targets of the Second MTP and Vision 2030 hinges on successful implementation of the enablers and foundations.
