Parastatals are involved in almost every sector of the Kenyan economy. It is the purpose of this project to analyse their role, structure and performance in terms of their potential contribution to economic development. It is intended to find criteria which help- within the context of specific situations- to define guidelines for goal setting and performance and for initiating and implementing necessary improvements to enable government institutions and the management of Parastatals to achieve more efficient decision making, planning and control.
