“When biological factors (like being too young or too old to work) are combined with negative life time shocks (such as sickness, unemployment, natural disasters, social conflicts) the case for social protection is overwhelming.”
GERMANO MWABU, M.A., Ph.D, Professor and Chair Department of Economics, University of Nairobi, as presented at UNECA workshop on “Social Protection, Growth, Poverty and Inequality in Kenya”, July 14-16, 2010

Recommendations to USAID
• Continue current programs• Strengthen/build on existing institutions and human resources
(GOK and NSA)• Realign Implementing Partners’ terms of reference and work plans
with GOK SP initiatives and provide tactical direction.• Establish (or adopt) a standard set of indicators to measure SP
program impact.• Provide line-of-credit solution to engage private sector in
development• Invest in Social Messaging to accelerate Norm shifts and
institutional change.
Next Steps for USAID
• Meet with other USAID sector team leaders (Education, Agriculture, Democracy/Governance, Disaster Relief, Economic Development)– discuss joined-up development activities to address
social determinants affecting each sector– Identify leverage points of co-operation.
• Meet GOK counter parts in each sector• Prepare Program Description to meet GOKand
USAID SP development objectives.
