KEN/19/52/UND Africa Kenya MPTF/UNDP Completed This project is part of the Global Flagship Programme on Building Social Protection Floors for All
Description
This innovative Joint Programme will support the Government of Kenya (GoK) to move from a poverty targeted approach, excluding 78% of the vulnerable population, to a more inclusive approach to social protection. It will assist the GoK to operationalize commitments articulated in its recently updated Social Protection Policy. The Joint Programme will strengthen the enabling environment for social protection in Kenya including greater integration of social protection with economic and social services and work with the GoK to create design options for fiscally affordable roll-out of universal social protection, including in rural areas. Through developing an enabling environment and a costed business case for universal social protection, the Joint Programme will facilitate the acceleration of progress towards achieving the SDGs in Kenya. The programme will make a strategic contribution towards the National Big Four Agenda through the lens of Food Security. The programme has a strong emphasis on Government leadership through engagement across several ministries. Through the SDG Partnership Platform, the programme will develop strategic linkages with relevant private sector stakeholders to explore financing options including more efficient use of current resources and options for greater engagement of private sector partners in the social protection landscapeSDG
