Across East Africa, governments are once again looking beyond the political cycle and thinking in generations rather than years. Kenya is preparing a Vision 2060 to succeed Vision 2030. Tanzania has unveiled its Development Vision 2050. Uganda is pursuing its Ten-Fold Growth Strategy, an ambitious plan to expand the economy from roughly $50 billion to $500 billion by 2040. Rwanda, meanwhile, has maintained a disciplined progression through successive phases of Vision 2020, measuring results against clearly defined milestones.
These are not mere slogans because they reflect a welcome recognition that transforming economies requires consistency, long-term investment and institutional discipline. Infrastructure, industrialisation, human capital, digital transformation and regional integration cannot be delivered within a single electoral term. They demand continuity over decades.
