The idea for the development of a long term vision for the country was borne after the successful implementation of the Economic and Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation (ERS) (2003 – 2007) that saw the economic growth of the country rise from a mere 0.6% GDP in 2002 to 6.1% GDP in 2006. The Vision 2030 development process was launched by the former president H.E. President Mwai Kibaki on 30th October 2006 where a National Economic and Social Council (NESC) was formed and mandated to formulate the plan. The completed blue print was then launched on 10th June 2008 along with its first implementation plan, the Medium Term Plan 2008 – 2012. The Vision aims to transform Kenya into a newly industrializing, “middle-income country providing a high quality life to all it citizens by the year 2030”. The Vision was developed through an all-inclusive and participatory stakeholder consultative process, involving Kenyans from all parts of the country and even those in the diaspora. The vision is based on three pillars, the economic, the social and the political. The overarching vision is, “A globally competitive and prosperous nation with a high quality of life by the year
