Kenya’s Industrialization Process; its
Status, Challenges and Strategic
Interventions.
DR CYRUS NJIRU, PhD, CBS
Permanent Secretary
CONTEXT -Why Industrialize?
• Kenya is primarily an agricultural based economy,
strategically located and is endowed with natural
resources that can be tapped through Value Addition
(VA) to serve as a regional industrial hub in East
Africa.
• The industrial sector is therefore a key driver for
increasing economic growth rates, generation of
sufficient employment opportunities, and fostering
Kenya’s integration into the global economy.

Industrialization Policy
• Experiences from successful economies indicate that
having a coherent National Industrialization Policy is
a prerequisite for the advancement of industrial
development in any country.
• Policy provides a broader engagement framework for
stakeholders participation - public and private sector;
civil society and development partners to contribute
and play their respective roles in industrial
development.
3
Objectives of the NIP
• To transform Kenya into a regional leader in
industrial growth & development;
• To spur industrial economic growth by creating
an enabling environment with targeted
incentives in priority sectors that promote
country-wide dispersal of industries in order to
realize equitable economic empowerment for all
Kenyans;
• To increase contribution of manufacturing sector
to GDP by at least 10 per cent per annum.
4
INDUSTRIALIZATION
• The term "industry" refers mainly to
manufacturing activity.
• Agriculture, mining, and most other services are
excluded from it.
• However the term "industrialization”
means the growth of manufacturing
industry.
• It is thus a part of the much broader process of
economic development, which involves the
raising of standard of living, through a steady
increase in the efficiency of factors of production.

industries by 25%
• Growing market share in regional
market from 7 % to 15%
• Attracting at least 10 large strategic
investors in key agro-processing
industries
• Strategy
– Local Production: Defend and
restructure key industries that have
local raw material availability, but no
competitive edge (e.g. sugar, paper)

Industrial Sector and Vision 2030
Kenya Vision 2030 identified Industrial sector as
potential growth area because it:
1. Enjoys strong forward and backward linkages with
other important economic sectors, such as
agriculture and services thereby offering high
prospects for strengthening Kenya’s drive to
integrate further into the regional and global
economy; and
2. Offers high prospects for employment-creation,
specially in labour-intensive industries;
3. Acts as a catalyst for technology transfer, attraction
of FDI, & increasing foreign exchange earnings.
10
Specific Objectives
1. Strengthening local production capacity to
increase domestically-manufactured goods by
focusing on improving the sector’s productivity
and value addition by 20 per cent;
2. Raising the share of Kenyan products in the
regional market from 7 to 15 per cent.
3. Developing niche products through which
Kenya can achieve a global competitive
advantage;
Specific Objectives…Cont’d
4.
Developing at least 2 Special Economic Zones and 5 SME
Industrial Parks;
5. Establishing an Industrial Development Fund with a minimum of
Kshs. 10 billion for long-term financing of manufacturing
enterprises;
6. Increasing by 20 per cent the share of manufacturing in total MSME
Output.
7. Increase the local content of locally manufactured goods for export
to at least 60 per cent.
8.
Increasing the share of industries located outside major urban
centres (Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Eldoret) to 50 per
cent.

National Intellectual Property
Policy and Strategy (NIPPS)
• The Government acknowledges:
– the provision and maintenance of a National Intellectual
Property Policy will encourage development of intellectual
creations
• Intellectual property is a product of human
creation
– IP is therefore born out of three different objects,
• creation of the mind, commerce and `industry or craft.
•
The Ministry has prepared a National Intellectual
Property Policy and Strategy (NIPPS)
– to strengthen the management and administration of the
intellectual property system and to encourage innovation
and creativity in Kenya.
