UNDP Kenya: Fast Facts

THE UNDP KENYA programme is aligned to the national development agenda articulated in the Kenya Vision 2030. Our Country Program Document (CPD) 2014 - 2018 is also an integral part of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) to the Government of Kenya, which is aligned to the government Medium Term Plan (MTPII). The overarching aim of these strategies is to support socioeconomic transformation in Kenya and attain a middle-income development-led economy.

UNDP Kenya programmes aim to address poverty, inequality and exclusion in an intergrated and area based way to support communities and government to achieve sustainable and inclusive economic growth. Our programmes are delivered in consultation and partnership with a broad range of stakeholders including the Government of Kenya, civil society organizations, independent bodies, development partners and other UN agencies.

OUR WORK■■ Transformative Governance and Accountability:

UNDP supports institution building and governance, accountability and rule of law mechanisms that are responsive to the needs of citizens, particularly the poor and marginalized. The programmes are in line with the national Vision 2030 Political Pillar, which aims to achieve a democratic system that is issue-based, people-centered, results oriented and accountable to the public. UNDP works to strengthen the capacities of government institutions at both national and county levels to deliver public services. Through civil society collaboration, UNDP supports youth and women empowerment including those working with persons with disabilities to engage effectively in local level decision making. Other groups include people living with HIV and AIDS to access their rights through legal reform support. UNDP also supports the national government to deepen democracy through support to the electoral cycle; providing technical and operational support to general elections; and promoting inclusive, credible and fair electoral processes.

■■ Community Security, Social Cohesion and Resilience: UNDP contributes to, and supports, the development of technical capacities, skills and knowledge; strengthened institutional systems, tools and structures; and provides technical assistance to key government institutions responsible for disaster risk reduction (DRR), peace building, conflict prevention and social cohesion. Our work includes focus on the prevention of violent extremism; targeting epicenter, spillover and at-risk communities, where youth and women are at risk of both radicalization and as victims of violent extremist acts. In conflict prevention, we work with county coordination and joint response and institution building mechanisms on governance and dispute resolution to address county and constituency boundary disputes, extractives and land related conflicts; and power sharing to enhance social inclusion and integration of minorities and ethnic groups. We also work on disaster risk reduction and resilience in the Northeast regions to reduce vulnerability and build resilience to shocks. At policy level, UNDP works with parliamentary committees, ministries, government departments and agencies through technical advisory support.

■■ Environmental Sustainability, Renewable Energy and Land Management: UNDP provides technical advisory services to support Kenya meet its’ obligations to international environment agreements while enhancing the contribution of natural resources and the environment to poverty reduction and sustainable socio-economic development. UNDP works with the government to develop appropriate policies and innovative programs that integrate environmental issues into national planning and budgeting processes; and promote effective management of natural resources for production and income diversification. UNDP also assists Kenya with the domestication of Multilateral Environment Agreements and Conventions through development of projects that build capacity

UNDP also works on sound chemical management through the Global Environmental Facility(GEF). At community level UNDP addresses specific needs of women, which include spending less time in search of water and firewood and creation of more time to engage in productive activities; through the rehabilitation of natural springs, drilling of boreholes and introduction of energy efficient cooking stoves.

■■ Productive Sectors and Trade: UNDP seeks to address economic and social exclusion and inequality in Kenya through an integrated approach focused on promoting inclusive growth through the implementation of policies, strategies and programs that support sustainable development. Empowering the poor to become economic agents by developing their entrepreneurial and labor market skills; integrating them into value chains; and promoting goods and services for

the poor. We also support the development of the policy framework and institutional capacity to support sustainable management of the extractive sector. UNDP recognizes the vibrant private sector and economic significance of the informal sector in Kenya and supports high-level sector-specific public-private dialogue and value chain development approaches to better harness the contribution of the private sector to development. Working jointly with the relevant GOK ministries, our support to the extractives sector is focused on Kenya’s regional capacity to engage and collaboration with the African Minerals Development Centre and the regional multi-stakeholders’ hub for extractives at the African Development Bank’s East Africa Resource Centre in Nairobi. At community level, UNDP provides business development support including skills development in entrepreneurship and access to government procurement; targeting the youth and women, including micro and small enterprises.
