Sustainable Information Development Practices and Societal Transformation in Kenya

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the impact of the information discipline and profession in transforming and changing the lives of people through sustainable development practices and policies. Quantitative and qualitative research design collected data from information academicians and professionals. Questionnaires and interviews were used to obtain primary data while document analysis and related sources provided secondary information. Decent work and economic growth are the leading and relevant rudimentary goals of sustainable development practices that provide not only perfect employment and wealth creation opportunities but also the fundamental denominator to poverty eradication, food security, quality education, good health and well-being, as well as clean water and sanitation. Post-implementation strategies for building sustainable development practices should connect the social, economic, and political aspects of people with practical policies.
