Kenya

Kenya’s strong human capacity, entrepreneurial energy, and current moves to decentralize government underscore a significant potential to reduce poverty and reach other development goals. Religion plays an important part in Kenyan society. Numerous faith-inspired actors contribute to local and national development objectives in Kenya and faith leaders from Kenya are among continental and global leaders of denominational, ecumenical, and interfaith organizations.
