Justification for the Study
The main objective for the development of the Kenyan Inequality study is to facilitate evidence-based advocacy for the implementation of polices that address inequality. It will give a contextual snapshot on the scale and impact of extreme inequality in Kenya as well as provide policy options to addressing the problem. Understanding the root causes and implications of this inequality is crucial for informed policymaking and effective interventions in informing socioeconomic planning and budgeting, designing targeted and inclusive policies and identifying priority areas for government interventions.
Ultimately, this study provides an opportunity to generate actionable insights that can inform targeted policies and programs aimed at reducing inequality and promoting inclusive development in Kenya. The study will propose policy actions to reduce inequality and outline the progressive policies needed to achieve this.
