Strategies lessons to be drawn from the ILO Kenya report for other African countries:|b the Kenyan employment problem

Abstract

When one evaluates the shortcomings and the merits of the mission report one is impressed by its intensive and instructive analysis of Kenya's employment problem. The broad coverage of the report, the analytical frame work and the proposed strategy are very instructive on a very wide variety of problems and issues facing the Kenyan economy, the mission's assessment of the Cost of Inaction, in particular, is hold, insightful and a commendable contribution. It should also be noted that since the mission warns against any attempt to divide or implement practically the proposed strategy, the implementation strategy should be widely discussed not only in government but between government and the architects of the strategy. This may load to mutual agreement in what can be implemented with maximum impact for growth and employment generation within Kenya's national development constraints.
