Abstract: | The essential feature of the development strategy - based on the concept of 'redistribution through growth' - is the notion that income inequalities (and the associated poverty and underutilisation of labour) can be reduced by a policy of sustained, perhaps accelerated, overall growth of GNP combined with measures to ensure that the resulting increments to income accrue primarily to the poor. Kenya's 1974-1978 development plan was perhaps the first national plan consciously adopt a version of this strategy. This paper is mostly concerned with the ideas and policies in the plan, rather than its numbers. Sections: Introduction - Questions of internal consistency - Questions of adequacy - Apparent implications for the future planning - Questions of political-economy - Conclusion.
