Our long-term goal is that someday there will be no need for donor assistance because Kenyans will have truly felt the impact of the policies and vision set forth in the Kenyan Constitution. To reach this goal, USAID developed its new five-year country strategy with the government and people of Kenya. We conducted multiple data collection efforts and a range of analyses to better understand where Kenya is on its development trajectory.
Kenya is a nation rich with opportunities, unique natural resources, and, most importantly, the promise of the Kenyan people. However, our joint efforts have not always achieved the results we anticipated. Therefore, as a critical part of the strategy development process, we consulted with stakeholders from the 47 counties. We consulted with governors and county commissioners. Then we mobilized to reach people in the public, private, and community sectors to get their feedback and suggestions. We gained a deeper understanding of the counties challenges, needs, and opportunities.
In this packet, you will find some of the highlights - not the full scope - of what emerged out of our synthesis of the consultations in the 47 counties.
