For example, it was through the realization that the cotton textile industry had the potential to maximize benefits arising from the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) initiative that addressing policy issues in the sector became a major policy concern.

This was an impediment to policy implementation even where good research had been done. With multiparty politics, the Kenyan citizenry is now conscious and able to demand good policies from government. Institutions are becoming more transparent and accountable.
