The document discusses a presentation being given to the MAP team about conceptualizing the Western Region as a system and addressing systemic constraints to inclusive growth. It identifies national issues like the devolution of government functions to county governments that create uncertainty, differing priorities, and lack of clarity and capacity. It outlines opportunities and threats for MAP, and proposes a MAP-wide response to strengthen enabling environments through better rules and support for weak system functions. Teams would brainstorm contributions and future plans to improve the enabling environment across sectors. The goal is an inclusive and resilient system driven by evidence, participation, and multi-stakeholder processes to achieve MAP goals at scale.
