Vision 2030

Vision 2030

Kenya Vision 2030 (Swahili: Ruwaza ya Kenya 2030) is the country's development programme covering the period 2008 to 2030. It was launched on 10 June 2008 by President Mwai Kibaki. Its objective is to help transform Kenya into a “middle-income country providing a high quality life to all its citizens by the year 2030”. Developed through an all-inclusive and participatory stakeholder consultative process, the Vision is based on three “pillars”: the economic, the social and the political. This Vision's adoption comes after the successful implementation of the Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation (ERS), responsible for the country’s GDP growth from a low of 0.6% and gradual rise to 6.1% in 2006.

The Kenya Vision 2030 is to be implemented in successive five-year Medium-Term Plans, with the first such plan covering the period 2008–2012. At an appropriate stage, another five-year plan will be produced covering the period 2012 to 2017, and so on till 2030. As the country makes progress to middle-income status through these development plans, it is expected to have met its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) whose deadline is 2015. Some of the goals have already been met. The Vision 2030 spells out action that will be taken to achieve the rest.
