It was taken to Parliament through a private member’s Motion and given legal force through the Constituency Development Fund Act of 2003. Unlike other State funding, CDF is sent directly to the constituency, thus avoiding delays associated with bureaucracy.  Spending is decided upon at each of the 210 constituencies through local committees.

It has created local consume’ demand through various projects, and funding other local needs, including education health and infrastructure. CDF allocation takes 2.5 per cent of ordinary revenues.

Treasury increased it by Sh500 million ($6.7 million) in 2008/9 and allocated another Sh 250 million ($3.33million) for youth empowerment support centers countrywide.

The youth Fund has been growing yearly and has become a crucial tool enabling the youth to participate in economic development. The Fund has many success stories in rural and urban Kenya.

Women have been targeted for their pivotal role in families. Various studies show such interventions have fundamental impact on poverty reduction and economic betterment globally. The fund was started with a billion Sh ($25 million) kitties, with an initial Sh 1 billion ($12.5 million) allocation.

Women entrepreneurs borrow through contracted banks and financial institutions after presenting their business plans to the Women Enterprise Fund.

In the past, Kenya has had two long –term policies and several five-year development plans that have guided planning and investment. Sessional Paper No 1041965: African Socialism and its Application to Kenya and the Sessional Paper Na 1 of 1986: Economic Management for Renewed Growth. They confronted the country’s most entrenched problems by charting a vision how development would tackle them.

Whereas the country grew by about 6 percent between 1964 and 1980 and 4.1 percent between 1980 and 1990, the period between 1990- 2002 was one of declining per capita income with GDP growth of 1.9 per cent against a population growth of 2.9 percent.

However, since 2003 there have been tremendous effort to get the economy back on track through the Economic Recovery Strategy (ERS) with the GDP growth rate hitting an all-time high of 7.1 percent in 2007. To do even better, the socio-economic structure should he transformed from a situation where agriculture still accounts for 23 percent of GDP and 56 percent of employment, while manufacturing accounts for barely 10 percent and less than 2 percent of employment.

Services account for the bulk of economic activity at 51.6 per cent of GDP constituted mainly by informal sector activities. To remain competitive regionally and globally, Kenya must plan for the future. It must chart a new road map that learns from past failures, builds on strengths and confronts the realities of globalisation.

The need for a vision is therefore apparent. Kenya Vision 2030 lays the foundation for an economic revolution for the present and future.

Through maximum exploitation of science, technology and innovation, Kenya can initiate focused interventions targeting the elimination of absolute poverty improvement of equity and access to social services promotion of private sector development through a regulatory frame work that reduces the cost of doing business, a sound legal system that protects property rights and dispense justice.

This path constitutes the basis for the development of Kenya’s long term vision for sustained economics and social development. The launch of Kenya Vision 2030 was an ideal starting point to focus attention on what should be done to realize a prosperous Kenya.

The vision will anchored on three pillars: Economic aspirations to sustain economic growth of 10 percent a year

• Social aspirations-just and cohesive society enjoying equitable social  development in a clean and secure environment
• Political aspirations -issue based people-centered, results-oriented and accountable democratic political system.

The pillars are anchored on six foundations: Infrastructure; science, technology and innovation; land reform; human resource development; security and public service reform. Six priority sectors — with the highest potential for growth — have been identified: Tourism, agriculture, manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, business processing outsourcing and financial services.

Kenya Vision 2030 is long term and should have broad public support and ownership. It has been developed in three phases: Phase I will be diagnostic and benchmark-Mg. Phase II will involve the development of high level strategies and Phase III the development of a master plan and communication. It will be implemented in stages to deliver short-term, medium-term and long-term economic and social targets. Economic and social development is dependent on the implementation of good policies and building of strong and effective institutions. Poor, predominantly agricultural countries have transformed into newly industrialised status in a generation. Chile, Malaysia, Mauritius, Thailand and South Korea achieved spectacular economic and social progress from the 1960s. They had several things in common, the most significant of which are the strategic visions they formulated and implemented. These defined long and short-term agenda it development priorities. They developed institutional structures to implement short-term and medium-term actions, making it possible to reorder priorities to achieve the long-term vision.

Kenya Vision 2030 is the Government economic, social and political strategy for next 20 years. It is being implemented in successful five-year Medium-Term Plans (MTP) with the first covering the period 2008-2012

Through the development plans, the country has set out to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), whose deadline is 2015.

Key flagship projects are in the pipeline to help achieve Vision 2030, whose adoption followed the implementation of the Economic Recovery strategy for wealth and employment creation (ERS).launched in June 2003 and ended in December 2007, was anchored on three pillars: Restoration of economic growth and maintaining a stable macro-economic environment, enhancing equity and poverty reduction and improving governance.

The National Economic and Social Council (NESC) under the President has set out developed the vision for Kenya: A globally competitive and prosperous nation with a high quality of life by2030
