Kenya Vision 2030 is the long-term development blueprint for the country and is motivated by a collective aspiration for a better society by the year 2030. The aim of Kenya Vision 2030 is to create “a globally competitive and prosperous country with a high quality of life by 2030”. It aims to transform Kenya into “a newly-industrializing, middle income country providing a high quality of life to all its citizens in a clean and secure environment”.
The Vision is a product of a highly participatory, consultative and inclusive stakeholders’ (international and local experts, ordinary Kenyans and stakeholders from all parts of the country) process carried out between October 2006 and May 2007. Between July and August 2007, the contents of the Vision 2030 were again subjected to open consultations in all provinces in Kenya before the document was finalized.
NAIROBI…Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat will prioritise signing up more public-private partnerships on ticket projects to accelerate their pace of development and completion timelines over the next decade.
The Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport corridor –LAPPSET, the Konza Techno City, modernisation of aviation facilities, expansion of the port of Mombasa, and the standard gauge railway (SGR) are current on-going flagship projects that will make a significant contribution towards achieving the 10 per cent economic growth target and improve Kenya’s standard of living.
Transport in Nairobi is set to get a major boost with the ongoing construction of the Sh62 billion, 27km Nairobi Expressway, expected to be completed by December 2022.
