Kenya development projects play a very important role in the growth and rural reconstruction. They help very much in the upgrading of the local people’s lives and ensuring that they get to live like other people from different parts of the nation. There are various important reasons as to why these projects were introduced to the local communities.
Importance of Kenya development projects Agricultural expansion Development projects play a very big role in expanding agricultural activities in the country. This has been successful especially with the help of agricultural experts who have been at the forefront to ensure that these projects are fruitful and that the local people get the chance to benefit from them. As a result many local people have ventured into different agricultural activities and for that reason the number of people practising agriculture has increased tremendously which is a positive thing to report.
Agricultural production has also increased over the past years and the country can now boast of its good produces produced by its own farmers. This was also aided by the introduction of irrigation programs which has helped farmers improve on their production.

Development of human resources Kenya as a country has really been striving to ensure that its citizens get education especially with the introduction of free primary and secondary education. This countrywide effort for free general education has to some extent, undone the bad effects of illiteracy. The number of schools, colleges growing up in rural areas is a clear index of it. In the field of scientific and technical education the development has not been at all dissatisfactory. Gone are the days in which there was a shortage of teachers even for primary education with adequate qualification.
Organisation of development administration The establishment of a well structured administrative set up for development activities has been the greatest achievement of these Kenya development projects. With the well structured development administration, we have seen that it is much easier to reach out for any help and any information concerning these projects and the officers concerned are able to respond adequately and on time.
Health services This is one of the best gifts the development projects have given to the local people. As we all know health facilities are very important and the introduction of the same at various points has helped reduce the rate at which people were dying. Those who benefited the most are pregnant women and young children. Many of our pregnant women have died during delivery due to lack of medical attention.

Motivation of people towards nation building Development projects have also played a major role ensuring that citizens of the country are motivated in contributing to the development of their own country. This has been achieved majorly through the introduction of community based activities where by the locals are allowed to participate. Many have also learnt to help the weaker sides of the nation especially in times of a crisis where by people come up in big numbers to help those in need of be it food of blood donations.
Growth of national economy Up to now agriculture still occupies a most important percentage in the Kenyan economy. When a country has enough for its own citizens in terms of food, it will even be able to export the rest of the produce to other countries and generate more revenue. Though we are not there yet we are not far from achieving that.
Increase in standard of living Development projects have really changed the lives of many Kenyans who did not know even where to start from. Through the teachings they got from Kenya development projects and the efforts they put into the respective projects, many have come out as successful farmers.
