Abstract
The purpose of this review is to highlight some of the political economy factors
that affect the implementation of Kenya’s Ending Drought Emergencies (EDE)
Common Programme Framework (CPF). First, the six pillars of the CPF are
analysed using the Knowledge, Policy and Power (KPP) methodology to identify
the ways in which institutions, actors’ interests and knowledge management
may enable or impede policy outcomes. Second, selected cases that are closely
aligned to the investments made under the EDE have been identified through the
KPP review and key informant interviews. The extent to which identified political
economy factors interact with these investments to impede or enable sustainable
economic development is explored.
While these examples are drawn from the context of the Kenya EDE, this review
is intended to inform the implementation of the Inter-governmental Authority on
Development (IGAD) Drought Disaster Sustainability Initiative (IDDRSI) in other
member states. Ultimately, the aim of this work is to begin to provide policymakers and planners with a convincing evidence base in the form of specific
investment cases to illustrate how well-formulated policies can play a significant
role in ensuring sustained economic development.
