Mon, Dec 19, 2016	Policy Magazine Issue No. 6 Author(s): IEA Kenya, Theme: Economic Policy, Cities are important drivers of development and poverty reduction in both urban and rural areas, as they concentrate much of the national economic activity, government, commerce and transportation, and provide crucial links with rural areas, between cities, and across international borders. However, rapid and unplanned urban expansion leads to rapid sprawl, deficiencies in water and energy supply, and in the disposal of waste, chronically congested roads and public transport, pollution and environmental degradation, together with unsustainable production and consumption patterns. In order to attain sustainable urbanization, the government must put in place proper planning mechanisms; require technically competent, responsive and accountable professionals charged with the management of cities and expansion as well as appropriate use of public funds directed towards basic services where they will yield the largest benefit for citizens.

Tue, May 6, 2014	Policy Magazine Issue No. 3 Author(s): IEA Kenya, Theme: General, Devolution is the most significant political reform in Kenya since independence. For the nation – and for Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) – it is of singular importance. While resolving distributional grievances will be a tremendous step forward for Kenya, we must not see the sharing of resources as a panacea. Devolution is not a solution; it is an opportunity. It is not a map to our destination; it is merely a new terrain – and we still have to decide where we will go, and how we will get there	File Size: 3.18MB No of Downloads: 1830.
Fri, Jul 20, 2012	POLICY JOURNAL ISSUE 002 Author(s): IEA Kenya, Theme: General, This issue of the Policy Journal is addressing the timely issue of regional integration. East Africa has been moving steadily to ever closer union since the re-establishment of the East African Community in 1999. From an original membership of three countries – Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, the Community has grown to five countries, with the inclusion of Burundi and Rwanda since 2007. Sudan and South Sudan are also being considered for membership in the Community. In this edition of the journal, we are considering the issue of regional integration from various tangents. For example, musicians and other entertainers have been quietly (some would argue loudly) integrating the region for decades. They have sought fame and fortune throughout the region with no regard for borders. The new generations are following their illustrious forbears.	File Size: 1.91MB No of Downloads: 6990.
