Sector consultancy
Nine sectors, read through Kenyan law and policy.
Each sector page sets out the laws, plans, institutions and live pressures that shape decisions in Kenya, and the consultancy we offer within them.
How Kenya governs its sectors
The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 created two levels of government: the national government and 47 county governments. The Fourth Schedule divides functions between them. Policy, standards and national institutions sit with the national government; agriculture, county health services, water and sanitation services, county planning and many other services sit with the counties. Every sector therefore has two sets of decision-makers, and most reforms succeed or fail in the space between them.
National priorities run through Kenya Vision 2030 and its five-year Medium Term Plans, currently the Fourth Medium Term Plan 2023-2027, which carries the Government's Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda. Counties plan through five-year County Integrated Development Plans for 2023 to 2027 and fund them from an equitable share of national revenue and their own-source revenue. Our sector pages set out the laws, plans, institutions and live pressures in each field, and what we offer within them.
