Outgoing United Nations Resident Coordinator in Kenya, Dr. Stephen Jackson, has rated Kenya's progress on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) between 6 to 7 out of 10, highlighting strong performance in renewable energy and health, while noting challenges in poverty eradication and industrialisation.

• Dr. Jackson noted that Kenya, like much of the world, is off track to fully achieve the 17 global goals by 2030 due to global challenges like climate change and COVID-19.
• He emphasized the need for private sector investment and responsible government financing to bridge the significant funding gap for SDGs, stating "Aid alone will never be enough."
• Key achievements under his tenure include vaccinating millions of children, providing reproductive health services, and supporting farmers with climate-smart technologies, with 28 UN agencies operating under the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework.
