| description |
Kenya has experienced a decade of
relatively strong economic growth. Between 2000 and 2009,
economic growth in Kenya averaged 3.7 percent. However,
growth declined sharply in 2008 and 2009 as a result of the
violence following the December 2007 presidential elections,
of the global food, fuel, and financial crisis, and of the
drought that occurred after the fourth consecutive year.
This persistent poverty and vulnerability highlights the
fact that social protection has an important role to play in
the effort to reduce poverty and vulnerability and promote
human capital development in Kenya. The Government of Kenya
has only recently (June 2011) developed a national social
protection policy. This policy builds on the Constitution of
Kenya (2010) which includes in its bill of rights the right
for every person to social security and binds the state to
provide appropriate social security to persons who are
unable to support themselves and their dependents. However,
there has also been a growing trend towards cash transfers
to the extent that the majority of government financing to
safety nets has been spent on cash transfers in recent
years. As a result, the coverage of cash transfer programmes
has grown significantly but remains low in comparison with
the population in need. This paper is organized as follows:
chapter one gives introduction; chapter two gives strategic
relevance; chapter three deals with technical soundness;
chapter four focuses on institutional arrangements; chapter
five presents budget process and expenditure framework;
chapter six presents results framework; chapter seven
focuses on economic justification; chapter eight gives
inputs to the programme action plan; chapter nine gives
technical risk rating; and chapter ten gives inputs to the
programme implementation support plan. |
