Consultation between the Government of Kenya and key development partners based in Nairobi on a new development paradigm

Implementation of the Holistic Productive Capacities Development Programme for Kenya

Development policies need to be adjusted and adapted to changing circumstances: Policymakers in developing countries need to implement policies and strategies to address socioeconomic challenges and improve the standards of living of their citizens. This requires putting in place holistic and integrated programmes that enable the tapping of comparative advantages and addressing key binding constraints to development. This means that the new holistic approach must provide a durable foundation to support the implementation of national visions and development plans to transform economies and build resilience to unforeseen shocks.

Holistic Productive Capacities Development Programmes (HPCDPs) provide this opportunity, marking a new opening in development-focused efforts, which are comprehensive and multidimensional. They aim to strengthen the underlying framework for development by fortifying and, where necessary, establishing the enabling economic inputs and systems needed to connect public and private sectors for job creation, trade, growth and inclusive development.

The focus of the consultations will be on the implementation of the Programme to support Kenya's development agenda. The consultations will be centered on a round-table dialogue between Kenyan institutions and strategic partners of Kenya on the implementation of the HPCDP.
