In the Agenda 4 of the National Accord signed by Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga, they promised to undertake constitutional and institutional reforms, tackle poverty and inequality, reduce unemployment among the youth, consolidate national cohesion, undertake land reforms and address corruption. The coalition was formed to provide a means to implement reforms to guarantee equity and balance in development is attained across all regions of the country.

These included job creation, poverty reduction, improved income distribution and gender equity. On community empowerment, part of the reform agenda is have funds availed through devolved public funds and the implementation of policies and programmes that minimise the differences in income opportunities and access to social services across Kenya, with special attention to the most disadvantaged communities in the Arid and Semi-Arid Districts, urban informal settlements and pockets of poverty in high potential areas. To improve wealth-creating opportunities for disadvantaged groups and regions, increased infrastructure should take place.

More funds should be spent in roads, water, sewerage, communications and electricity. On economics, increase availability of affordable and accessible credit, savings programmes and appropriate technologies to create an enabling environment for poor communities to take part in wealth creation should also be emphasized.
