Establish a shared, current picture of Kenya’s economic position.
02
Identify constraints
Trace the policies, systems, and incentives holding progress back.
03
Investigate levers
Test what Kenya can build on across sectors and institutions.
04
Translate into action
Turn evidence into sequenced, accountable recommendations.

A multidisciplinary public effort
Bring your professional expertise to the work of growth.
Economic development is not the work of one discipline. We are inviting rigorous analysis from professionals who understand how policy meets the real world.
Follow the evidence as the work takes shape.
The public dashboard and research library are in development. This is where the record, the analysis, and the practical agenda will come together.
