Flagship Projects Implementation Support Initiatives by the Secretariat

Overview
A key mandate of Kenya Vision 2030 is to aggressively market the Vision and its medium term plans
and publicize and communicate its activities and achievements to the people of Kenya. Since the
inception of the Vision Delivery Secretariat (VDS), great strides have been made in implementation
of various programmes; however the Kenyan citizens, particularly those in the rural areas have not
been adequately informed of this progress and hence have little understanding of the Vision. In order
to fill this gap, the Secretariat contracted an Advertising Agency to develop communication that
would create awareness on the Visions, and report on its implementation.

SummaryofMTP1Achievement

Communication Awareness Programmes

The Secretariete designed an intergrated marketing and communication campign dubbed Wakilisha
the focus of the campaign was to establish Vision 2030 as the countrys development blueprint and
create awareness of the progress of Vision 2030 projectsThe campaign used print, electronic, digital,
social media and public relation activities to disseminate information and engage with the audience.
To reach a wide audience and deepen penetration of the campaign message VDS,
Wakilisha to the grassroots through road shows, mobile, county hall meetings

cascaded

The Secretariat collaborated with the Office of the President & Provincial Administration who played
a key role in facilitation and mobilizing leaders for the town hall meetings. The leaders who attended
the meetings were drawn from the following categories;

Youth and Women representatives

Faith based organisations

Community based organisations

Government officials

Private sector representatives

Persons with disabilities

During the town hall meetings, Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat highlighted the programs within
Vision 2030 with specific emphasis on the projects within the regions visited.
To support the roadshow the Vision 2030 Secretariats undertook the following tactical activities;

Radio activations The Secretariat partnered with eight regional radio stations the aim was
to create awareness of Vision 2030 projects and benefits.

PR activation during the flag and during the period of the roadshow.

Countrywide circulation of pictorial insert, fliers and posters highlighting progress of

flagship projects

ensure that Vision 2030 becomes a mass movement. The Secretariat plans to continue this
SummaryofMTP1Achievement

communication campaign to the grassroots through road shows, mobile education, county hall
meetings and the use of regional media subject to availability of funds. In addition, the Secretariat has
maintained a strong online presence through its website and social media platforms. This saw the
Secretariat winning a social media award for Best use of social media Government bodies category

2. Private Sector Engagement

The private sector engagement framework is formulated to drive participation from nongovernmental agencies in the implementation of Vision 2030. The Secretariat has developed two
categories of participation for the private sector namely Private sector flagship projects and Vision
2030 Partner status. The Secretariat was able to commence the implantation of projects with Toyota
Tsusho Corporation (TTC) and General Electric. To this end the Secretariat has coordinated the
two agencies and formed working groups towards the realization of the memorandum of
understanding signed in the past year. In addition, the Secretariat continues to work with other private
sector entities that have been accorded flagship status such as Lake Turkana Wind Project
(LTWP) in unlocking the bottlenecks that the project has experienced in its implementation. The
Secretariat has also awarded the Kenya Red Cross Society flagship status in the month of January
2013.
The Secretariat is currently pursuing a more robust engagement strategy with the private sector
players. The project termed Vision 2030 Companies Engines of growth seeks to provide a tangible
maturity framework for companies within the Economic pillar. The Secretariat has held 4 meetings
with Private Sector players including Kenya Private Alliance (KEPSA), Kenya Association of
Manufacturers, the Department of Government Investment and Privatization (DGIP) and the Public
Private Partnership (PPP) Unit.

The Secretariat is working on a maturity model for the private sector with KPMG. The model seeks
to expand private sector participation in the delivery of Vision 2030. Together with key stakeholders
such as KEPSA, KAM and other bodies the Secretariat is in the process of putting together a
framework that will guide private sector growth based on the Economic Pillar of Vision 2030 .
