The document provides an overview of Kenya's progress toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals. It discusses Kenya's MDG status and implementation process, including mainstreaming the MDGs into national and county development plans. It reviews Kenya's current status for each MDG goal, finding that goals on poverty, gender equality, and disease are on track but goals on child mortality, maternal health, and environment still face challenges. It identifies financing, climate change, and regional disparities as ongoing obstacles to fully achieving the MDGs by 2015.

3. Background of the MDGs
• In the Year 2000, 189 members of the United Nations signed the
Millennium Declaration.
• Commitment to reduce extreme poverty by creating an
environment conducive to development.
• The Declaration resolved to put in place actions that will lead to
marked improvements in the human conditions by 2015.
Developing Countries Developed countries
To better manage their resources To increase development assistance at least up to the
0.7% of their Gross National Income
To address the debt issue
To improve governance To improve terms and conditions of trade
To facilitate technology transfer to developing
countries

4. Back ground of MDGs cont…
• However 8 Goals with 21 specific targets and 60 indicators
became the Cornerstone of the Millennium Declaration .
• The goals form Universally Accepted Development Bench marks
for developing countries
In Kenya,
• MDGs in Kenya date back to the sessional paper no.10 of 1965
which focused on the elimination of poverty, disease and
ignorance.
• Subsequent government policy documents have since then
focused on mainstreaming MDGs into policy, planning and
budgeting process.

5. Overview of MDGs process in Kenya
• Kenya started implementation of MDGs in september2002 and
the MDGs based planning was launched in 2004.
• Mainstreaming MDGs in Kenya has been done under two themes;
 “Mainstreaming MDGs in Kenya’s Development Process” -
2004-2009.
 “ Mainstreaming, accelerating and coordinating MDGs in
Kenya’s development process”-2011-2013
• A Needs Assessment Study was carried out in 2005 to establish
the resources required to achieve the MDGs by 2015; The
financing gap stood at Ksh 4.1 trillion
• The Needs Assessment informed on the need for an aggressive
mainstreaming and advocacy campaign for the MDGS.

6. MDGs Based Planning in Kenya
• The Economic Recovery Strategy(ERS) of 2002-2007 addressed
most of MDGs through recognition of key Economic sectors.
• Kenya’s Vision 2030 incorporated the MDGs. The first Medium
Term Plan (MTP 2008-2012) aimed at accelerating the
achievements of MDGs by redirecting spending to high priority
areas.
• Sector Plans 2008-2012 which were drawn from the Vision2030
and its 1st MTP also mainstreamed MDGs.
• Corresponding District Development Plans also ensured that local
level planning and budgeting in all districts was responsive to the
MDGs.
• NIMES the tool used for tracking & reporting on Vision 2030
flagship projects, also reports on MDGs through sector reporting.

7. Mainstreaming MDGs in to County Profiles
and MTP II
• The Vision 2030 is a long term national policy framework to be
implemented through 5 year medium term plans.
• The just launched MTP II process will incorporate MDGs and
their targets.
• Interim County development plans are expected to mirror
image of the Kenya Vision 2030 at the county level and are
expected to ensure that local level planning and budgeting in
all counties is responsive to MDGs

MDGs
• High Prices of food stuff and farm inputs.
• Inability of developed countries to avail 0.7% of GNI in
financial resources for MDGs in developing countries as
agreed in the Millennium Declaration.
• Slow technological transfer especially in food production from
developed countries to developing countries.
• Inadequate data for tracking & reporting on MDGs
• Effects of climate change
• regional disparities on some MDGs.

21. Conclusion
• In the recently launched MTP II MDGs are going to be
mainstreamed in all sectors.
• MDGs are going to be mainstreamed in the on going interim
County Profiles
• Increased allocation of devolved funds to counties will
accelerate achievement of MDGs.
• MDGs Acceleration Framework(MAF) will enhance
achievement of goals lagging behind.
• There is need to carry out advocacy on MDGS mainstreaming in
all counties.
