To strengthen Kenya’s STI capabilities and capacities to support the key national transformation areas.
Kenya’s overall Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) capacity and capability is currently weak in comparison with other developing countries. Consequently, the government will focus on the creation of better production processes, placing a strong emphasis on technological learning. The focus will be on technologies and processes that enhance national competitiveness and facilitate the creation of quality jobs. In addition, the capacities of STI institutions will be enhanced through advanced training of personnel, improved infrastructure, equipment, and by strengthening linkages with actors in the productive sectors. A programme targeting provision of STI infrastructure will also be implemented over a period of three years.
