The Challenge
Kenya faces a complex fiscal landscape marked by rising debt levels, constrained revenue growth, and increasing demands for public investment. Without a deliberate and equitable approach to fiscal consolidation, the country risks undermining its development goals and placing undue burden on vulnerable populations.
Our Approach
We work to ensure that Kenya’s fiscal policies are both sustainable and inclusive. Through rigorous analysis and advocacy, we promote a balanced mix of revenue enhancement and expenditure rationalization that supports long-term debt sustainability while protecting the poor.
Our work also focuses on identifying diverse and responsible financing options—including foreign direct investment (FDI), public-private partnerships (PPPs), grants, and sustainably priced debt—to fund high-impact development projects.
