Abstract

In the development of Kenya Vision 2030 Third Medium Term Plan (MTP III) 2018-2022, the Blue Economy (BE) sector was recognised as one of the emerging economic fronts that are expected to significantly contribute to Kenya’s economic growth. Subsequently, there were calls to develop and manage a BE database. Despite these calls, there is currently no comprehensive database containing BE related data for Kenya, in an accessible manner to the public. As a response to these calls, our research team sought to explore different types of information aggregators. The study adopted exploratory design and reports the review of three aggregators. From the review results, the study proposed the design and development of a digital platform for aggregating information on the BE ecosystem in Kenya. The digital platform provides potential value addition to the host organisation in the form of: attracting external funding; raising its reputation and online visibility and adding value to the community.
