Introduction to Kenya The Republic of Kenya is a Sub-Saharan country located in the East of the African continent. As a country, Kenya has a population of about forty-one million people a majority of whom are below the poverty line. Mwega (2009), states that the nation has shown significant economic growth in the recent past but still relies heavily on donor funding to finance most of its development agendas. Kenya has benefited from multiple projects funded by international lending institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) among other lenders. Development Funds International lending organizations have significantly contributed towards social, economic as well as political development in Kenya. Kenya has received numerous donations from IMF and the World Bank with an aim of aiding the country to shape its macroeconomic policies as well as alleviate poverty levels in pursuant of the set development agendas (Mwega, 2009). Kenya uses funds from international lending organizations to establish programs leading to socio-economic development in Kenya. For example, the World Bank provided funds for the rural electrification project. The project has contributed significantly towards the establishment of multiple home based industries that contribute towards economic development. The project has also seen a big number of Kenyan households acquire electricity as a source of energy leading to social development and improved quality of life. There has been growth in other areas of Kenya’s economic sectors such as agriculture as a result of the funds provided by international lending partners. One of the most notable projects is focused on the improvement of agricultural extension services with an aim of raising the yields of small-scale rural farmers (Mwega, 2009). The project enabled farmers to identify new farming practices with better outcomes and higher yields. Other funded activities included research activities aimed at developing drought-resistant crops and improved farming methods. Other funds were used to train farmers and enable them form organizations to market their products. Kenya’s education sector has also significantly benefited from projects financed by international lending organizations. The funds have been used to support projects such as free primary education as well as partially subsidize the secondary school fees. As a result of the projects financed by the international lending organizations, Kenya has seen a growth in the percentage of children accessing free basic education (Somerset, 2009). As such, there is an improvement in literacy levels creating a general population with a higher proportion of persons endowed with skilled labor. Kenya’s political development has also been spearheaded through funds obtained from international lending organizations. Ghai (2011) argues that one of the most notable political developments in Kenya is the establishment of the multiparty governance system. The country was initially a one party country with no political competition and limited choices for the electorate during national elections.
