Abstract: Undoubtedly, reliable, efficient infrastructure is crucial to economic and social development and the promotion of pro-poor growth. Poor infrastructure impedes a nation’s economic growth and international competitiveness. In fact, it has long been recognised that an adequate supply of infrastructure services is an essential ingredient for productivity and growth. Moreover, improvements in productivity lead to increased trade and can foster regional integration through improved intra-regional trade and industrial relocation. This article analytically reviews and assesses infrastructure constraints and development in Kenya within the context of the way forward for meeting the outcomes of the country’s Vision 2030 and its long-term development prospects.
