Summary
- This Joint Staff Advisory Note (JSAN) reviews the Kenya Vision 2030 First Medium-Term Plan (MTP) 2008–12 prepared by the government of Kenya.
- IMF staff finds that the objectives of the MTP are generally compelling and well considered on a sector-by-sector basis, but less so on a holistic basis.
- The sector-specific plans are generally compatible with the government’s objective of meeting the Millennium Development Goals.
- The overall plan suffers from two weaknesses. This means that some of the headline targets may not be met.
Major findings
- Objectives of the MTP are generally compelling and well considered on a sector-by-sector basis.
- Sector-specific plans align generally with the Millennium Development Goals objective.
- Holistic coherence across sectors is weaker than sector-level design.
Implications and risks
- The existence of two weaknesses in the overall plan implies that some headline targets of the MTP 2008–12 may not be achieved.
