Summary: | This study is a product of the Africa
Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD), a project designed
to expand the world's knowledge of physical
infrastructure in Africa. The AICD provides a baseline
against which future improvements in infrastructure services
can be measured, making it possible to monitor the results
achieved from donor support. It also offers a solid
empirical foundation for prioritizing investments and
designing policy reforms in Africa's infrastructure
sectors. The AICD is based on an unprecedented effort to
collect detailed economic and technical data on African
infrastructure. The project has produced a series of
original reports on public expenditure, spending needs, and
sector performance in each of the main infrastructure
sectors, including energy, information and communication
technologies, irrigation, transport, and water and
sanitation. The focus of the AICD country reports is on
benchmarking sector performance and quantifying the main
financing and efficiency gaps at the country level. These
reports are particularly relevant to national policy makers
and development partners working on specific countries. This
report presents the key AICD findings for Kenya, allowing
the country's infrastructure situation to be
benchmarked against that of its African peers. Given that
Kenya is a relatively well-off low-income country that
aspires to become a middle-income country, two sets of
African benchmarks will be used to evaluate Kenya's
situation. Detailed comparisons will also be made with
immediate regional neighbors in the East African community. |
