To ensure sustainable development in the post-Covid-19 era, governments and different sectors of society will need to realign their models of operation to respond to the ‘new normal’.
This archaic model should be overhauled post Covid-19 if Kenya has the determination and is willing to lay the foundation and principles for a sustainable recovery and pathway beyond the crisis.
They will find it hard to deliver towards the new normal that is built on different business models that are lean and thrive on frugality.
If these old business models are our hope, we should be ready for an economic spin and a deeper crisis than what we are experiencing now.
The disruption of the global supply chains occasioned by Covid-19 calls for a higher level of analysis and guided engagement to deconstruct the old economic models in order to reposition industries towards a path of recovery.
