Grace,

I know that this was to end today but I have not yet been able to respond to
all comments and suggestions and would like to do so over the next 2 or 3
days if I would be allowed to do so.

Regards,

Mugo

Thank you Lucy for raising the concern on Goal 5 that touches on maternal
health. I agree that we need to capitalize on social media to disseminate
information on this important matter. I am sure you will get a response from
Mr. Mugo. 

We now move to the last day of our discussion. 

Our focus shifts to the third pillar namely the political pillar (rule of
law, electoral and political processes, transparency and accountability
etc).  <http://www.vision2030.go.ke/index.php/pillars/index/political>
http://www.vision2030.go.ke/index.php/pillars/index/political

The objective of the pillar is stated as...'moving to the future as one
nation and envisions a democratic system that is issue based, people
centred, results oriented and is accountable to the public'. 

Listers, please continue to raise your concerns in any of the areas
discussed so far.

Have a great day.

Rgds
Grace

Bw. Mugo,

Thanks for taking the time to address the issues raised so far.  I would
like add my pesa nane on the Vision 2030 Social Pillar which closely ties in
with the Millenium Development Goals.  From the MTP Report attached for
listers, I was shocked to read that the Goal 5 "Improve Maternal Health" is
one that is unachievable and actually increased from 414 in 2003 to 488 in
2009?  Yet this is one that should be easier to address through education
via social media through vehicles such as the digital villages to
disseminate information on the importance of maternal health.  Programs
enlisting churches as partners in spreading the word and most importantly a
concerted effort by the GOK in funding clinics that focus on providing
healthy supplemental foods and nutrition counseling for pregnant women, new
mothers, infants and children especially in rural areas.  Numerous studies
have shown that pregnant women who participate in similar programs have
longer pregnancies leading to fewer premature births; have fewer low birth
weight babies; experience fewer fetal and infant deaths since they seek
prenatal care earlier in pregnancy and consume more of such key nutrients as
iron, protein, calcium and Vitamin C.

I found the report to be defeatist in the assessment of this particular goal
and would hope for a re-evaluation and better planning in attaining the goal
in a Vision 2030 kind of way:-)

Lucy
