Kenya is developing a new long-term economic transformation plan, known as the Beyond Vision 2030 Economic Transformation Plan, to guide the nation after the expiry of the current Vision 2030 framework. A multi-sectoral working panel will draft the plan, which will undergo public debate across all 47 counties before becoming legislation.
The plan is expected to address the country's development priorities for the decades beyond 2030, with a focus on measurable targets rather than broad aspirations. The process involves consultations with experts from various sectors, including government, private sector, academia, and professional groups. After the initial draft, it will be presented to county assemblies and discussed through grassroots forums, with citizens providing oral and written memoranda.
The updated draft will then be reviewed by a second National Conversation forum, with recommendations potentially becoming a Development Bill submitted to Parliament for debate and eventual assent by the President. Despite the political significance of this process occurring ahead of the next General Election, organizers insist that national planning should continue regardless of electoral timelines.
