Urban inequality poses a big challenge to the development of Kenya

Kenya is currently ranked among the top 50 countries in the world that fail to provide their people with enough food, according to the Global Hunger Index. Although spirited efforts to address hunger have been taken in the recent past, most of these have been restricted to drought-stricken rural areas. The subtle forms of hunger in urban areas—such as the scores of casual labourers who routinely skip meals because of high food prices and low wages—have largely been overlooked. The primary reason why urban hunger has not received sufficient attention is that it has been eclipsed by the dominant and relatively old stereotype that cities are havens for social progress and economic opportunity.
