Debt and PRSP Conditionality: The Kenya Case

Author

Listed:
  • Jane Kiringai

Abstract

The Kenyan economy had a growth of -0.3 per cent in the year 2001, the lowest growth in the post-independence era. The dismal growth performance coincided with the period when the government was involved in grassroot consultations with civil society and other stakeholders, to find out the causes of poverty and what the stakeholders perceive as the best steps towards poverty reduction, culminating the poverty reduction strategy paper, PRSP.
