Vision 2030 aims to transform Kenya into a newly industrialising, middle-income country providing a high quality of life to all its citizens by the end of the decade. It is premised on three pillars, namely, the economic pillar, social pillar, and the political pillar.

While progress has been made in some areas, the real gross domestic product (GDP) has averaged 4.5 percent between 2008 and 2022. This is far below the target annual 10 percent GDP growth rate.
