Productive Capacities Development: Challenges and Opportunities - The Case of Kenya
The publication consists of two parts. Following the Introduction, which provides the conceptual background and a comprehensive assessment of the recent performance of Kenya’s economy and development, is Part I – the National Productive Capacities Gap Assessment. The NPCGA of Kenya examines the state of the country’s national productive capacities and binding constraints to its structural transformation, economic diversification and overall sustainable development. It uses the Productive Capacities Index (PCI), which relies on eight components – Natural Capital, Human Capital, Transport, Energy, ICT, Institutions, Private Sector and Structural Change – to measure gaps in productive capacities. It then proposes specific, tailored policy interventions to address these challenges. Part II – the Holistic Productive Capacities Development Programme (HPCDP) – provides details on how best to address the gaps and limitations and key binding constraints to the country’s development through a comprehensive programme. The HPCDP is tailored to specific domestic circumstances, comparative advantages, and national institutional frameworks and provides strategic orientation and action-oriented, step-by-step approaches to tackle these key binding constraints. It is designed to address Kenya’s deep-rooted development challenges, as articulated in the NPCGA, by moving away from the practice of short-term, sectoral and fragmented, project-based interventions towards long-term, integrated, and programme-based approaches to development.

Kenya eTrade Readiness Assessment
The Kenya eTrade Readiness Assessment is the fifth assessment conducted by UNCTAD in a non-LDC country and follows an enhanced methodology. As per this methodology, surveys were disseminated as part of the data collection effort. In Kenya, they targeted respondents in three distinct groups, i.e., public sector, private sector and consumers. Through collaboration with the British Standards Institutions (BSI), an eTrade for All partner, the surveys were enriched to investigate the role of standards in e-commerce development. The assessment adds to the 29 assessments conducted by UNCTAD since 2017. Kenya’s eTrade Readiness Assessment was conducted during a period when the COVID-19 pandemic was ongoing, and it is reflected in some of the findings of the report. The enduring economic and social impacts of the pandemic make it even more important for policy makers and other stakeholders to join forces to take actions aimed at addressing the e-commerce situations. With the eTrade for all partners, UNCTAD is committed to supporting Kenya in its resolve to harness the potential of e-commerce for development.
Saving the day: Quality Champions in Kenya
If you ask June Gathoni today how her business is going, she will beam with confidence. But not long ago, she would have reacted differently. One of her company’s consignments to Korea was returned and the prospects for her company, Urban Fresh Ventures, did not appear very promising.
Reaping the benefits of Kenya’s green gold
Touted as a superfood and loved by hipsters from Tokyo to San Francisco, the humble avocado has in recent years become one of the world’s favourite foods. For farmers in rural Kenya and in the country’s export sector this ‘green gold’ has helped boost incomes and job creation.
Kenyan avocado exporter becomes part of the processing
The month of May 2019 was a defining time for Direne Ltd., which exports Kenyan avocados and mangos. As a small firm the company was lagging far behind in accessing international markets.
Supporting Kenya’s cut flower sector adapt to climate change
The cut flower sector is one of Kenya’s main exports and one of the largest employers in the country. Highly sensitive to changing weather patterns, the industry is increasingly feeling the impacts of climate change. In recent years, many flower farms have had to cope with a range of threats: heavy rainfalls, prolonged cold weather and too high temperatures in the greenhouses. As a result, scheduling the cutting ahead of key sales periods such as Valentine’s Day or Christmas is becoming challenging.

HCWM in Kenya is regulated by the Environmental Management and Co-ordination (Waste management) Regulation formulated in 2006 (NEMA regulation). The National Policy on Injection Safety and Medical Waste Management in 2007, followed by National Infection Prevention and Control Guidelines for Healthcare services in Kenya in 201023 (referred to as “MOH guideline”) were formulated for proper HCWM. Based on these documents, “Safety management and disposal of safety products in prevention of spread of COVID-19” was formulated in April 2020, due to the COVID-19 epidemic/pandemic situation.

Кения: Энергия солнца на благосельских жителей
Отныне жители сельских районов Кении могут пользоваться насосами и лампами на солнечных батареях, которые существенно улучшили условия их существования. Они дали им доступ к питьевой воде и искусственному освещению, облегчили их быт, позволили сократить заболеваемость и уменьшить пагубное воздействие на климат. В основе таких разительных перемен – решение кенийского правительства активно инвестировать в развитие энергетического сектора страны, получившее поддержку частного сектора. Повышение качества жизни особенно ощутимо в наиболее нуждающихся общинах.
Transformación de la vida rural en Kenya gracias a la energía solar
Las bombas de agua y las lámparas solares aportan a las aldeas de Kenya el agua potable y la luz de las que carecían, mejorando así la vida diaria de sus habitantes gracias a la consiguiente erradicación de enfermedades, la supresión de faenas penosas y la eliminación de prácticas ancestrales nocivas para el clima. La decisión del gobierno de invertir en las energías limpias ha recibido el apoyo del sector privado y contribuye a hacer mucho más llevaderas las condiciones de vida de las poblaciones rurales más necesitadas.
