National Workshop Kenya Beyond 2015: Exploring domestic debates and envisioning development futures (BEYOND 2015)
Organised by Finland Futures Research Centre, University of Turku
When: Thursday 25th April 2013, 8.30-16.45
Venue: Pride Inn Hotel, Rhapta Road
Objective: The workshop aim is to design and profile the future development scenarios of Kenya with regard to the National Development Agenda (especially Vision 2030) and other local, regional and international initiatives such as the MDGs post-2015. This futures workshop is designed to add value to the other consultations that have taken place in Kenya and in the region, by identifying the key signals and drivers of development that are conforming to or defining future trends. The methods used in the workshop are designed to encourage ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking and to stimulate new development futures and scenarios. The more specific themes addressed in the second day of the workshop include the use and distribution of wealth found in natural resources, the ways to tackle energy poverty and the possibilities for more sustainable pathways. The key task for the workshop is to explore the domestic debates on how the future development options will be resourced and how sustained poverty reduction can be achieved.
The questions relating to the post 2015 development agenda include:
• How development goals should be changed or improved to better meet the new global and East African realities and development challenges?
• How the development landscape has changed in Kenya since the time of setting the MDG framework in 2000?
• What are the views of key-stakeholders on how relevant the MDG framework has been for the general development policy and what can be learned from past experiences?
• How do different stakeholders in Kenya see their and other countries’ and institutions’ role in setting the post-2015 framework and implementing the new parameters for the years after 2015?
• How do domestic policies, strategies and processes resonate with the MDGs and post-MDG frameworks? For example what are the differing domestic views on the role of ODA and other forms of financing and resourcing post 2015 development?
• What are the different views on the role of environmental and energy targets in the new post 2015 framework?
