In 2022, Kenya scored 0.60 points in the Human Development Index (HDI), which indicated a medium level of development. An overall improvement was recorded from 2000 onwards. That year, Kenya's score was 0.49, meaning that the country had a low level of human development. The categorization changed from low to medium in 2008; however, it fell back into the low HDI category the following year. Since 2010, Kenya has remained in the medium category.
