Kenya to 2030 and beyond

The report assesses Kenya's development, noting its leadership in ICT and positive human development indicators despite low average incomes. It highlights critical barriers to progress, specifically a significant infrastructure deficit, corruption scandals, and low access to basic services compared to other lower-middle-income countries.

• Kenya is a leader in information and communications technology on the continent and possesses relatively well-developed systems for education and health. Despite average incomes being at the lowest end of the World Bank's lower-middle-income country threshold, the country achieves relatively good results across several human development indicators.
• Kenya faces substantial development obstacles, including a major deficit in infrastructure and the negative impact of corruption scandals. Furthermore, while the country performs well on some governance metrics, its level of access to basic services is among the lowest for any lower-middle-income country.
