Kiambu County Budget Review and Outlook Paper 2024
Get PDFThis document is prepared in accordance with section 118 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, and its related regulations. It provides an overview of the fiscal performance for the financial year 2023/24, focusing on how well it aligns with the 2024 County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) and the Public Finance Management Act’s objectives. In addition, it offers macroeconomic projections and sector ceilings for the fiscal year 2025/26 and the medium-term budget, highlighting deviations from the 2024 CFSP projections. The document also acts as a basis for revising the current FY 2024/25 budget and offers guidance on the financial policies supporting the medium-term plan. The 2024 Budget Review and Outlook Paper (CBROP) has been crafted during a period of relative stability both globally and domestically. Globally, growth is projected to be 3.2% in 2024 and 3.3% in 2025, supported by recovery in regions like China, the Euro area, and the UK. However, this is offset by slowdowns in the US and Japan. Domestically, the Kenyan economy is on the path to recovery after shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic, regional conflicts, and adverse climate impacts like droughts and floods in early 2024. These events caused essential commodity prices to rise, the Kenya Shilling to depreciate, and added strain to public debt

Uasin Gishu County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2024
Get PDFThe 2024 CFSP is the second developed during the administration of H.E. Hon Dr. Jonathan Bii Chelilim, and it outlines the Administration's strategic priority policies, initiatives, and reforms that will be implemented in the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF). The paper is being developed at a time when the country is facing challenges as a result of high gasoline prices caused by the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, as well as raised global interest rates due to inflationary pressures limiting access to credit and worsening debt servicing expenses.
In the context of these challenges, Kenya’s economy remains resilient with an impressive economic performance. With a 5.45 percent growth rate in the first half of 2023, the economy is resilient and still strong. This increase is significantly higher than the projected averages for the world and Sub-Saharan Africa, which are 2.9 and 3.3 percent, respectively. From 4.8 percent in 2022 to 5.5 percent in 2023 and 2024, the economy is expected to grow. The rise of the private sector on a large scale, the services sector's continuous strong performance, the agricultural sector's comeback, and the ongoing execution of policy measures to stimulate economic activity in the BETA's key areas will all contribute to this growth outlook at the national scene
Special Paper No. 07 of 2024 on Drivers of Stunting Reduction in Kenya
Get PDFStunting, a significant public health concern, affects millions of children globally, including those in Kenya. Significant progress has been made, which led to stunting reduction from 26 per cent in 2014 to 18 per cent in 2022. Notwithstanding, stunting remains a major challenge in the country, with the prevalence being higher in rural areas and among children from poorer households. The overall objective of the study was to identify the factors that drive the reduction of stunting in Kenya and identify evidence-based practices that can be used. The study characterized stunting prevalence by various factors and examined the drivers of stunting in Kenya in the overall population and by place of residence. The Kenya Demographic Health Surveys of 2014 and 2022 were used in undertaking the analysis. The study finds that maternal education significantly reduces both overall and severe stunting prevalence, with secondary education being more effective than primary education. The highest impact on stunting reduction is observed among children of mothers with post-secondary education. Regression analysis indicates that stunting prevalence is higher among children of teenage mothers while children of unemployed mothers have lower stunting rates. Stunting prevalence is highest among children of working mothers, particularly those in the agricultural sector. Access to improved water sources had a protective effect on stunting prevalence and increased access to improved sanitation consistently reduced stunting prevalence. Finally, higher household income is associated with lower overall and severe stunting prevalence, where stunting reduction is evident in children from non-poor households compared to poor households. Elimination of stunting requires concerted efforts that are multisectoral. These include enhancing access to maternal education to improve the knowledge and skills of mothers on nutrition, childcare, and health practices by expanding access to education for girls and women and strengthening community engagement and utilize media campaigns to promote antenatal care visits. Although access to work opportunities and higher incomes is crucial for mothers, it is essential to strengthen the implementation of existing workplace policies for maternal and child health. This includes ensuring flexible working hours and enforcement of decent work guidelines in sectors such as agriculture to create a supportive work environment for working mothers. There is also a need to expand access to improved sources of water and improved sanitation to keep up with needs of the expanding population
