In terms of meeting the Millennium goals, the tone of the report should endeavor to avoid any "unlikely" to be met criteria no matter how challenging the goal. Brainstorm on innovative ways to address the challenges so even as we gain insight into ways in which you are implementing Vision 2030 projects perhaps there are things that Vision 2030 could be doing differently? For example goal 1 eradicate hunger and poverty. The UN states in their report that the world is on target to meet the goal so what is different in Kenya? Wasn't the CDF to help address this goal if it is not working then is it time to restructure?</div><div><br></div><div>Lucy</div><div><br>Sent from my iPad</div><div><br>On Dec 20, 2011, at 8:26 AM, "Mugo Kibati" <<a href="mailto:mugo@vision2030.go.ke">mugo@vision2030.go.ke</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<p class="MsoPlainText">Thank you for the precise interest in the challenges of
improving Maternal Health under the Social Pillar. I agree, Maternal health is
an area which can have some quick wins; talking about social media and
education, the Wakilisha TV clip deliberately included a clip on maternal
health - Check it out. As far as the MTP is concerned, realize that this is the
first Vision 2030 MTP and our review has made similar observations, which we
will incorporate in the 2nd MTP.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Also important to note, that the Vision 2030 Delivery
Secretariat reviews to sequence and prioritize the flagship projects annually.
The development of the next MTP is drawing interest from CSOs, CBOs, Faith
Based organizations and Vision 2030 champions like you. We will endeavor to
widen the participation as much as possible to ensure wider agreement on the
country's priorities.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>

this particular goal and would hope for a re-evaluation and better planning
in attaining the goal in a Vision 2030 kind of way:-)<o:p></o:p></p>

informing us of when we are likely to hear from you. We understand that
some days can just be too hectic. Please do respond to the various questions
in whichever order you feel comfortable. After all, they are all interlinked,

raise. How will Vision 2030 use ICTs to inform the public on the status
of flagship projects and their linkage to open data? </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Matunda the
point you make that ICTs can be used by government for real
time financial management to reduce leakage (kickbacks and price inflation)
is interesting. </span><br>

Kenya in order to improve the quality of life for all Kenyans by targeting a
cross-section of human and social welfare projects and programmes,
specifically: Education and training, Health, Environment, Housing and
urbanisation, Gender, children and social development, Youth and sports.<br>
