A Report Of Post Wwii Development Of Kenya

Assess the significance of three factors which might limit economic development in the developing countries.

During the time period 1850-1914, even though Britain imperializing, Kenya was, in turn, very beneficial for the inhabitants of Kenya. However, the direct rule of Britain put Kenya through a massive transition from being independent to being colonial dominant, in which the natives of Kenya had lesser rights than did before and were treated inhumanely. Before being imperialized, Kenya was already divided into forty-two tribes. The two main kinfolks to be known are the Masai and the Kikuyu. These tribes helped in making the country's diversity, rich culture and heritage. Nonetheless, Kenya didn’t have much global contact; however, they did trade with the Arab merchants but kept it limited because they wanted to preserve their traditional

Kenya was affected by colonialism in multiple ways. Although some of them were bad like taking away their land and changing their religious beliefs. Others were good like establishing schools and raising their average earnings.

A New York Times by Rachel Cernansky article explains the steps that some African and Asian nations, specifically Kenyans are doing to better their

Economic growth, put simply, is “an increase in the amount of goods and services produced per head of the population over a period of time”; development is inextricably linked with this economic growth. By utilising theories of economic growth and development we can see how the Chinese and Sub-Saharan African economies have emerged, but, more notably, we can use these to look at patterns from past and present to show their experience and the implications of this growth for the future.

The alternative economic model is a hybrid of socialism and capitalism which derives from government intervention. This system is commonly known as a mixed economy. In Kenya is such an example. The critical subject in such a model is how to keep balance between the forces of capitalism and socialism. The role of government policy comes in handy in ensuring that competition especially amongst the private sector in education is healthy and that education provision meets required standards.

The economy and industry there are in the developing process, which means that they are lack of investments from outside.

In the past when I would think of Kenya I would think of wild animals, African tribes, and AIDS. When I met Wanjiku an international student from Kenya she told me many things about the culture of her country. I know from talking and working with her that they value friendship and believe in hard work.

This paper will analyze the affects that are harming the agricultural system in Kenya, Africa. There are numerous problems that could be taken into account for the lack of production in Kenya 's agricultural system. This paper will highlight four main issues that harm the development of Kenya 's agricultural system. These four main problems are leading factors that destroys the growth of crops and the success of harvest seasons. The first main point that will be analyzed in this paper is climate change which is the leading cause of bad crop seasons in Kenya. The next variable to be analyzed is the lack of infrastructure in Kenya’s geographical makeup. The third variable to be analyzed on the failure of Kenya 's agricultural system is pesticides and disease. The finally elements that leads to the harm on crop production in Kenya is soil nutrient deterioration. These are just a few of the cause that harms the development of Kenya Africa’s agricultural system.

Kenya is very lush and is mainly cool which attracted the interest of European explorers. Countries such as Britain steadily increased their influence in the area by introducing missionaries and sending explorers throughout the nation. By the late 19th century, Britain controlled Kenya and declared it a British colony (“Countries and Their Cultures”). The British attracted people from Europe by creating more economic and political opportunities for Europeans to move to Kenya. They would allocate large pieces of land to British citizens, which would displace the natives, or offer them political positions in the government. The British implemented segregation which led them to forcing Kenyans to work as “squatters” on the land of the British but in truth, they weren’t any different from slaves. Kenyans tried resisting British policies by protesting but this only angered the British. The British colonists reacted by killing twenty five people which came to be known as the Nairobi Massacre (“Countries and Their

Most people correlate Kenya to long distance runners, of the beginning of man, its plethora of wildlife, and maybe Barack Obama. However, what they may have not contemplated was Kenya’s agriculture and how it has affected the culture and economics of Kenya. “Tea, coffee, sisal, pyrethrum, corn, and wheat are grown in the fertile highlands, one of the most successful agricultural production regions in Africa. Production is mainly on small African owned farms formed from the division of formerly European-owned estates.” Coffee in Kenya is big business, but it is grown mainly on small farms by farmer’s co-ops working together. Looking into Kenya’s past will help to clarify how coffee became an agricultural commodity, and give insight into its beginnings.

Though Kenya’s impoverished and underdeveloped conditions were certainly not highlighted in the film, I believe it is important to observe. These conditions are best displayed by the state of the primary school. In the film, students were forced to sit 5 students to a desk and were crammed into a tiny room. Moreover, the Kenyans were highly grateful for the concept of free education. This highly contrasts the state of American schools, which are typically well funded. Americans are used to the concept of free education, so much so, that people now desire free higher education. I believe this theme is important to note because it is the key difference between the Kenyan and American

Kenya is also the preferred entry point for companies wishing to expand further in the region. Moreover, East Africa’s largest economy is one of the most innovative on the African continent, which bodes well for future economic development.

The paper seeks to understand the political, social and cultural variables that have thrown Kenya into the geo-political limelight insofar as the so-called ‘War on Terrorism’ is

Kenya supports the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), which is a holistic and integrated framework for the sustainable development of the African continent. It is widely recognized that Kenya’s invaluable experience in socio-economic and development processes will be useful in constructing the
