SUMMARY:Social Protection and Safety Nets training (the Kenyan Case St
 udy)
DESCRIPTION:Background Information\nAfter independence, the first pres
 ident was interested in achieving three things for the country; ie the
  eradication of extreme poverty, illiteracy, and extreme hunger. This 
 was necessitated by the fact that then and through the colonial system
 , Kenyans had been treated as second-class citizens which increased th
 eir vulnerability and exposure to the three issues.\nHowever, this was
  not achieved then and subsequent governments have been trying to addr
 ess these issues by encompassing them in development plans and policie
 s. The promulgation of the new Kenyan constitution in 2010, brought fo
 rth the government’s commitment to providing for vulnerable populati
 ons that are unable to meet their basic needs, including women, childr
 en, older persons, and the youth. Kenya’s economic blueprint (Vision
  2030) contends that “no society can gain social cohesion if signifi
 cant sections of the population live in abject poverty.” Reducing vu
 lnerability and poverty is a key element of many social policies acros
 s government ministries in Kenya.\nSocial protection and safety nets p
 rogrammes play a key role in reducing the vulnerability of the Kenyan 
 people. The importance of this has been underlined in the National Soc
 ial Protection Policy drafted in 2011 which provides a framework to gu
 ide the design, implementation and national oversight of social protec
 tion programmes in the country.\nFrom 2005 to 2010, social protection 
 expenditure in Kenya rose from Ksh 33.4 billion to 57.1 billion, which
  was equivalent to 2.28 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 201
 0. This training workshop aims to look at these programmes and the ent
 irety of their operations and rollout in an effort to understand and r
 eplicate their success while addressing any shortcomings that might be
  pointed out in lessons learned.\nDuration\n5 Days\nCost\nThe individu
 al cost for the training workshop is USD 999 for individual participan
 ts and USD 900 for groups above 10 participants exclusive of 16% VAT.
