This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenya is a country of geopolitical and economic importance in East Africa. It shares borders with unstable states such as Somalia and Sudan while being a hub for trade, communication, finance, and transportation across the region. Although relatively stable since its independence in 1963, the country still faces poverty, inequality, and corruption. In addition, the contested election of 2007 led to severe ethnic strife that tested its political stability, leading to a new constitution in 2010. This unique survey by a leading expert on the region provides a critical analysis of the socio-economic development in Kenya from a political economy perspective. It highlights Kenya's transition from being a centralized state to having a clear separation of powers and analyzes key issues such as economic growth, urbanization, corruption, and reform. The book identifies Kenya's key socio-development problems and offers solutions to improve both governance and economic performance, making it an essential resource to researchers, academics, and policy makers working on development issues and African politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The country has a strong private sector and received encouraging forecasts of new oil, gas and water reserves, which if harnessed appropriately bode well for future growth. While a pending international court case resulting from prior elections provoked a measure of uncertainty, the country’s medium to long-term economic outlook is robust. With over 40% of the population under the age of 15, Kenya stands to benefit from a significant demographic dividend, provided that sufficient jobs can be found when this population bulge enters the workforce. The country has a reasonably sized industrial base, competitive infrastructure and a large agricultural sector, all of which offer opportunities for capital-intensive investment.

Download or read book Commercial Banks and Economic Infrastructure PPP Projects in Kenya: Experience and Prospects written by Paul Kamau and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructure is an umbrella term for many activities which are referred to as 'social overhead capital' has made many private sector operators shy off from them. This has not been the exception for the banking industry in Kenya. In fact, evidence shows that most of the financing of such infrastructure in Kenya has been through the Exchequer, Roads Maintenance Levy Fund (RMLF), multilateral financial institutions such as the World Bank; the African Development Bank, and donor countries. This paper aims at examining whether commercial banks can benefit from the PPP market in light of evolving opportunities for PPP financing. The broad objective is to explore several aspects of potential benefits that could trigger, improve or diversify the activities of banks in Kenya related to PPP financing. Specifically, the study aimed at finding (a) roles that commercial banks can play; (b) some specifics of the procedure for PPP financing by the banks; (c) trends in participation of banks as lead arrangers on the global PPP market; and (d) presence of international banks in existing PPP projects in Kenya. The paper provides valuable insight to commercial banks as potential financiers of PPP projects in Kenya, as well as provision of financial services. In Kenya opportunities provided by the legal/regulatory framework for public-private partnerships (PPP) are evolving but remain rather novel. The public sector has also not made much headway in accomplishing substantial PPP while private sector stakeholders, including commercial banks are still not actively involved. Commercials Banks, most frequently provide advisory services, and banking services but not financing of PPP projects. With the changing terrains in ownership, financing, operation and management of economic infrastructure in Kenya resulting from the adoption of PPP approach, the Kenyan banking industry has a role to play besides that of credit provision. There is scarcity of knowledge in terms of how the banking industry has been involved in the PPP architecture in Kenya. This study focuses on the road infrastructure. This is because road transport is an enabling industry for almost all other sectors in the Kenyan economy and is critical to the movement and flow of raw materials and finished goods along the agricultural, manufacturing, trade and tourism value chains. In addition, road transport is one of the most widely used modes of transport in Kenya. Road transport has received substantial resources for construction, rehabilitation and maintenance over the past decade and has seen increased role of private industry through PPP, but banks seem to shy away. The findings indicate that most banks have limited participation in the road PPP projects in Kenya. Out of the 71 PPP pipelines currently underway, none of the commercial banks indicated as having participated in any activity. Knowledge about the PPP and opportunities provided for the banking industry seems to be low. Those respondents with knowledge of the annuity programme argued that the financing model was too complicated that it could lead to increased non-performing loans. The paper recommends that there should be more consultative meetings between the banks and the governments in order to promote the partcipation of commercial banks in infrastructure investments. The KBA has to play even a bigger role in mediating between the banking industry and the PPP projects so that banks can commit more resources towards roads PPP projects.

Book excerpt: Part of OECD Water Policy and Finance Set - Buy all four reports and save over 30% on buying separately! Many countries have sought the involvement of the private sector to upgrade and develop their water and sanitation infrastructure and improve the efficiency of water systems. However, high capital intensity, large initial outlays, long pay-back periods, immobility of assets and low rates of return generate high risks. These factors, when combined with poor initial information and weak investment environment, limit the scale of private sector participation in water and sanitation infrastructure. Recognising this, the OECD has developed practical guidance, building on the OECD Principles for Private Sector Participation in Infrastructure, to help governments and other stakeholders to assess and manage the implications of involving private actors in the financing, development and management of water and sanitation infrastructure. The resulting OECD Checklist for Public Action provides a coherent catalogue of policy directions for consideration by governments, including appropriate allocation of roles, risks and responsibilities, framework conditions and contractual arrangements necessary to make the best of private sector participation and harness more effectively the capacities of all stakeholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kenyan economy performed comparatively well in 2015, even in the face of global economic headwinds. According to the World Bank, GDP growth is expected to reach 5.4% for the year, aided in large part by sustained public sector capital spending. The country has a strong private sector and received encouraging signs of new oil, gas and water reserves, which if harnessed appropriately bode well for future growth. The country’s medium- to long-term economic outlook is robust. With over 40% of the population under the age of 15, Kenya stands to benefit from a significant demographic dividend, provided that sufficient jobs can be found when this population enters the workforce.

This book was released on 2019-11-08 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African countries face unprecedented challenges of defining a future development pathway in a resource- and carbon-constrained world. This book addresses this challenge, with special reference to the set of infrastructure that most African countries require to meet the sustainable development goals and fulfil the aspirations of Agenda 2063. Infrastructure is a key factor that determines how resource and energy flow and transform through socio-economic systems. Decisions made today by African countries on their infrastructural configuration will determine the inclusivity, resource intensity and climate resilience of their development pathways for decades to come. This book is a product of a two‑year research conducted by a group of African scholars who have an extensive academic and practical experience on the development of key infrastructure sectors in Africa.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines ways to increase food security, reduce poverty and achieve economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa with ‘water’ through increased participation of the private sector and publicprivatepartnerships. This report is a summary of the findings from a review of the literature and critical analysis thereof. The ‘private sector’ includes all farmers, farm households, and agriculture-based micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). That is: all entities involved in crop, livestock and fish production and marketing, in post-harvest activities and food processing, and in supply chains for the goods, services and information used in the process. The study examines different types of agricultural water development and management. These include smallholder subsistence farming, cultivation of profit-oriented high-value crops, and peri-urban agriculture, as well as successful examples of private sector involvement in various functions or processes, including planning, design, construction, operations and maintenance. The spotlight on ‘water’ does not imply that other factors, such as off farm employment, market development and education, are unimportant.

Download or read book Government Spending on Infrastructure and Private Investment written by Morris Gitonga and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Limited empirical studies have disaggregated the government spending into infrastructure and consumption expenditures in this thematic area. More so, Kenya has witnessed a tremendous increase in spending on infrastructural projects such as highways, road, ports, fiber optic, standard gauge railway, and massive investment in road management and maintenance. All these efforts are meant to accelerate the realization of the Kenya Vision 2030 as well as the 'Big Four' agenda of the Kenyan government. The aim of this research was to investigate the role of infrastructure sector spending on private investment in the country. The study used secondary data for 1963 to 2018 from annual statistical abstracts and economic surveys report. To achieve the outlined objective, the study adopted Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique and the Error Correction Model (ECM) estimation approach. Infrastructure outlay in health, agriculture and roads was found to positively impact private investment in the long run. On the contrary, defense and education development spending influence private investment negatively in the long run. This paper concludes that public sector infrastructure outlays are key in determining private investment and that different public spending component affect investment differently in both long- run and short- run. This study recommends that the government should consider increasing and sustaining spending on infrastructure development projects like roads, ports, fiber optic, railways, highways maintenance, agriculture mechanization, improving public health infrastructure to stimulate further the economic activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable infrastructure development is vital for Africa s prosperity. And now is the time to begin the transformation. This volume is the culmination of an unprecedented effort to document, analyze, and interpret the full extent of the challenge in developing Sub-Saharan Africa s infrastructure sectors. As a result, it represents the most comprehensive reference currently available on infrastructure in the region. The book covers the five main economic infrastructure sectors information and communication technology, irrigation, power, transport, and water and sanitation. 'Africa s Infrastructure: A Time for Transformation' reflects the collaboration of a wide array of African regional institutions and development partners under the auspices of the Infrastructure Consortium for Africa. It presents the findings of the Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD), a project launched following a commitment in 2005 by the international community (after the G8 summit at Gleneagles, Scotland) to scale up financial support for infrastructure development in Africa. The lack of reliable information in this area made it difficult to evaluate the success of past interventions, prioritize current allocations, and provide benchmarks for measuring future progress, hence the need for the AICD. Africa s infrastructure sectors lag well behind those of the rest of the world, and the gap is widening. Some of the main policy-relevant findings highlighted in the book include the following: infrastructure in the region is exceptionally expensive, with tariffs being many times higher than those found elsewhere. Inadequate and expensive infrastructure is retarding growth by 2 percentage points each year. Solving the problem will cost over US$90 billion per year, which is more than twice what is being spent in Africa today. However, money alone is not the answer. Prudent policies, wise management, and sound maintenance can improve efficiency, thereby stretching the infrastructure dollar. There is the potential to recover an additional US$17 billion a year from within the existing infrastructure resource envelope simply by improving efficiency. For example, improved revenue collection and utility management could generate US$3.3 billion per year. Regional power trade could reduce annual costs by US$2 billion. And deregulating the trucking industry could reduce freight costs by one-half. So, raising more funds without also tackling inefficiencies would be like pouring water into a leaking bucket. Finally, the power sector and fragile states represent particular challenges. Even if every efficiency in every infrastructure sector could be captured, a substantial funding gap of $31 billion a year would remain. Nevertheless, the African people and economies cannot wait any longer. Now is the time to begin the transformation to sustainable development.
