Message by Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Labour & Social Protection, Ukur Yattani, E.G.H.
It is with great honour, pleasure and privilege that I welcome you all to Nairobi City, Kenya, for the 2nd Kenya Social Protection Conference. I take this opportunity to once again thank the Social Protection Conference members and all stakeholders for supporting Kenya’s Social Protection programmes. Social Protection has emerged as a strong and effective tool for fighting, and reducing, poverty and vulnerability among its citizens.
I wish to assure you that the Government is committed to ensure that your stay in Nairobi is extremely comfortable and memorable. In this respect, we have formed a strong and all-inclusive stakeholder National Committee that is working round the clock to make the Conference a massive success.
We look forward to a worthwhile event that would generate solid proposals for coming up with measures, initiatives and interventions that are meant to cushion the poor and vulnerable members of the society against the hard socio-economic environment.
Welcome to Nairobi, Welcome to Kenya
Message by Principal Secretary State Department of Social Protection, Susan Mochache, CBS
I welcome all our speakers, delegates and stakeholders to the Kenya Social Protection Conference 2018. The concept and practice of Social Protection in Kenya is clearly anchored in the Kenyan Constitution (2010) with the ambition of moving Kenya towards a more equitable and inclusive society. It’s why we found the conference’s theme: “Scaling up Investment in Social Protection: A Contribution to the Delivery of Kenya’s Vision 2030 and the Achievement of the SDGs” most appropriate.
The Social Protection Sector, especially the Social Assistance pillar, in Kenya has grown rapidly in the last decade. Currently, we feel proud to be administering the Cash Transfer to Orphans and Vulnerable Children (CT-OVC), Older Persons Cash Transfer Programme (OPCT), Cash Transfer to Persons with Severe Disabilities (PWSD-CT) and Hunger Safety Net Programme in 2008. It is worth noting, however, that access and coverage of the programmes are still limited to an extent that a big proportion of the needy and vulnerable population of people is yet to be covered.
We, therefore, hope that the Kenya Social Protection Conference 2018 can generate solutions for Kenya to help the country to address pertinent issues pertaining to the grey areas of the programmes, especially in terms of financing and investment.
