Jua Kali Kenya
Change & Development in an Informal Economy197095
Jua Kali in Swahili means 'hot sun'. But over the course of the 1980s, and perhaps a little earlier, it came to be used of the informal sector artisans, such as car mechanics and metalworkers who were particularly noticeable for working under the hot sun because of the absence of premises. People began to talk of taking their cars to jua kali mechanics. Gradually the term was extended to refer to anyone in self-employment, whether in the open air or in permanent premises. On 28 May 1988 The Standard reported that the Minister of Technical Training and Applied Technology wished to encourage the use of the term jua kali rather than informal sector, and had therefore announced that the small-scale industry which had come to be known as the informal sector would henceforth assume the name Jua Kali Development Programme.
The term 'informal sector' was first used of Ghana by Keith Hart in 1971. But it was in Kenya that it was first widely applied in 1971 and 1972.
