National Council for Law Reporting Strategic Plan 2013-2017

National Council for Law Reporting Strategic Plan 2013-2017

This Strategic Plan is informed by the hopes and aspirations of the people of Kenya, the letter and spirit of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010; the strategic direction of the Kenya Vision 2030, the Judiciary Transformation Framework, 2012-2016 and last but not least, the promise and commitment of the Council and Staff of Kenya Law.

This plan is our operational blueprint for the next five years. It is our roadmap to realizing our mandate of monitoring and reporting on the development of jurisprudence and our vision of “Accessible Public Legal Information towards an Enlightened Society”. Having documented our successes and challenges from the preceding Strategic Plan, and having distilled the lessons learnt, we have mapped the evolved operating environment and re-aligned not only our vision but also our strategic approach.

During the next five years, we will focus on four Key Result Areas namely:
(i) Provision of public legal information
(ii) Policy and Legal Framework
(iii) Institutional Development
(iv) Branding, Visibility and Corporate Image

The key elements of our new strategic approach is a shift in several paradigms: from providing legal information to creative and innovative use of information to generate and develop legal knowledge; from a legal publisher to a curator of a robust, indigenous, progressive and patriotic jurisprudence; from applying international best standards to being the standard by which law reporting and access to public legal information is measured; and from providing a public service to creating shared value for society and for our employees. The other key element is the repositioning of our brand identity. While legally we remain ‘the National Council for Law Reporting’, we are glad to be known and addressed by you simply as ‘KENYA LAW’.
