The study examined Kenya’s transport infrastructure by assessing strengths, opportunities, challenges and initiatives aimed at enhancing existing systems and mitigating gaps towards more connectivity, mobility and reduced costs. Specific objectives of the study included evaluating the current state of transport infrastructure in Kenya, examining milestones in Kenya’s transport infrastructure development in the last decade and determining whether planned transport infrastructure development projects in Kenya would enhance regional integration. This study was significant to policy handlers, development partners and scholars in the region as findings will inform targeted planning and programming for improved transport connectivity. Target population was 150 individuals drawn from the categories of related actors with a sample size of 75 individuals, which was arrived at exclusively and objectively by researcher. The study established that the transport structural gap was a serious handicap to growth and poverty reduction in eastern Africa and that transport connectivity had a direct link to any country’s competitiveness because it weighs on cost of doing business and living. The study recommended sector reforms and innovation towards optimum level of connectivity as a result of the upgraded transport system, with eastern Africa reaching greater regional integration. The study adopted descriptive approach in analysing quantitative and qualitative data as variables under investigation were described.

肯尼亚交通基础设施发展:连通性如何影响东非区域一体化

该研究通过评估旨在增强现有系统并减轻差距以提高连通性,机动性和降低成本的优势,机遇,挑战和举措,对肯尼亚的运输基础设施进行了研究。该研究的具体目标包括评估肯尼亚交通基础设施的现状,检查过去十年肯尼亚交通基础设施发展的里程碑以及确定肯尼亚计划中的交通基础设施发展项目是否会增强区域一体化。这项研究对于该地区的政策制定者,发展伙伴和学者而言意义重大,因为研究结果将为有针对性的规划和规划提供信息,以改善交通运输的连通性。目标人群是从相关角色类别中抽取的150个人,样本规模为75个人,这是研究人员专门客观地得出的。该研究确定,运输结构的差距严重阻碍了东部非洲的增长和减贫,而交通运输的连通性直接关系到任何国家的竞争力,因为它影响着经商和生活成本。该研究建议,由于运输系统升级,部门改革和创新应朝着最佳连接水平发展,东部非洲应实现更大的区域一体化。该研究采用描述性方法对定量和定性数据进行分析,对所研究的变量进行了描述。该研究确定,运输结构的差距严重阻碍了东部非洲的增长和减贫,而交通运输的连通性直接关系到任何国家的竞争力,因为它影响着经商和生活成本。该研究建议,由于运输系统升级,部门改革和创新应朝着最佳连接水平发展,东部非洲应实现更大的区域一体化。该研究采用描述性方法对定量和定性数据进行分析,对所研究的变量进行了描述。该研究确定,运输结构性差距严重阻碍了东部非洲的增长和减贫,并且交通运输连通性直接关系到任何国家的竞争力,因为它影响着经商和生活成本。该研究建议,由于运输系统升级,部门改革和创新应朝着最佳连接水平发展,东部非洲应实现更大的区域一体化。该研究采用描述性方法对定量和定性数据进行分析,对所研究的变量进行了描述。该研究建议,由于运输系统升级,部门改革和创新应朝着最佳连接水平发展,东部非洲应实现更大的区域一体化。该研究采用描述性方法对定量和定性数据进行分析,对所研究的变量进行了描述。该研究建议,由于运输系统升级,部门改革和创新应朝着最佳连接水平发展,而东部非洲则应实现更大的区域一体化。该研究采用描述性方法对定量和定性数据进行分析,对所研究的变量进行了描述。
