In other words, the sector employsalmost half (43%) as many people as the public sector. It also employsmore people than the major industries in the country – utilities, construction,transport and manufacturing, as shown in Figure 2 belowChapter 3 Size and Scope of Non-Profit Sector 9
Figure 2: The Kenya non-profit sector workforce in contextVolunteers and paid staff engage in two basic roles: service and expressive.In the service role, they undertake activities in education, health,social services, development and housing. In the expressive role, theyundertake activities in culture/recreation, professional work, unionwork, civic activities, advocacy, and the environment.In Kenya, both paid staff and volunteers work much more in the serviceactivities than expressive activities. This is common in many developingand transitional countries. The main variation in Kenya is thata much larger share of the workforce is engaged in community developmentand housing than is the average for other countries.Figure 3: Distribution of paid employees and volunteers betweenservice and expressive activities in KenyaSource: Johns Hopkins Comparative Non-Profit Sector Project10The Non-Profit Sector In Kenya
