I alone remain responsible for any errors or shortcomings. October 2014 - Kenya: An African oil upstart in transition ii Executive Summary In late March 2012, Kenya entered the East African oil scene with a surprising splash. After decades of unsuccessful on-and-off exploration by international oil companies, Tullow Oil, a UK-based firm, discovered oil in Kenya’s north-west Turkana County. This paper analyses the opportunities and risks facing Kenya’s oil industry and its role as a regional oil transport hub. It provides a snapshot of Kenya’s economic, political, and security environment, offers a comprehensive overview of the development of Kenya’s oil industry and possibilities for regional oil infrastructure cooperation with neighbouring countries in East Africa, and considers the potential political, social, and security risks facing the oil industry and regional infrastructure plans.

  • An Employment- Targeted Economic Program for Kenya ______
    An Employment- Targeted Economic Program for Kenya ___________________________________________________ Robert Pollin Mwangi wa Githinji~ ~ James Heintz Department of Economics and Political Economy Research Institute (PERI), University of Massachusetts-Amherst COUNTRY STUDY SUPPORTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL POVERTY CENTRE This is an independent report produced by a team of international and national consultants supported by the International Poverty Centre in Brasilia (IPC). This report is part of a wider global research programme encompassing several other countries. The views in this report are the authors’ and not necessarily IPC’s. However, the IPC regards this report as an important contribution to the debate on economic policies and employment programmes in Kenya as well as in other countries in Africa. Copyright © 2007 POLITICAL ECONOMY RESEARCH INSTITUTE (PERI) Gordon Hall / 418 N. Pleasant St., Suite A Amherst, MA, USA, 01002 http://www.umass.edu/peri An Employment-Targeted Economic Program for Kenya: Brief Highlights of Major Proposals The principal focus of our study is to develop effective policies for greatly ex- panding decent employment opportunities in Kenya. As we use the term, de- cent employment means a work situation that enables people to at least maintain him/herself and his/her family above a reasonable poverty line. The government of Kenya has committed itself to generating 500,000 new jobs per year at least through 2007. We certainly embrace this goal. At the same time, there are wide disparities in the types of employment opportunities avail- able in Kenya. A high proportion of people working full time at jobs are still unable to support themselves and their families above a poverty-line level.

UJCI Africa-China Brief No 2 | August 2017 THE earliest imaginations of South-South cooperation (SSC) have been traced to the Afro-Asian anti-colonial struggles of the 1940s. This is when initial ideas about shared identity, building solidarity towards asserting sovereignty, and channeling simmering opposition to the imperial ‘North’ first germinated. The Asian Relations Conference held in New Delhi in 1947, followed by the Afro-Asian Conference at Bandung (Indonesia) in April 1955, marked the first watersheds in the evolution of SSC, supported by the ‘non-alignment’ and ‘Third World’ paradigms (Chen and Chen 2010: 108-109). In 1960, the SSC thesis was further developed by the dependency theories of neo-Marxist sociologists from South America, who underlined the subservient nature of trade relations between their region and North America (Copeland 2009:64).
