Abstract
There is tremendous potential for trade
to play a key role in driving and sustaining growth and
poverty reduction in Kenya. There is significant potential
for greater participation in international markets to
support growth and poverty reduction. Kenya has had some
notable achievements: in cut flowers and fresh vegetables.
This report assesses Kenya's trade performance, and
identifies key domestic constraints to its further
integration into the global economy. Furthermore, the report
advances a set of recommendations to tackle these
constraints, with a focus on how trade can contribute to
growth and poverty reduction in the country. Specifically,
the report aims to support the Government o f Kenya (GOK)
to: realize its Investment Program for the Economic Recovery
Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation 2003-2007
(IP-ERS), to implement its National Export Strategy (NES);
to implement its Private Sector Development strategy and
formulate a trade-policy strategy.
