| Project Detail |
The development objective of the Devolution Support Program-for-Results (PforR) Project for Kenya is to strengthen capacity of core national and county institutions to improve delivery of devolved services at the county level. The program will support implementation of the five key results areas (KRAs) under the National Capacity Building framework (NCBF) - medium-term intervention (MTI). It will finance results around the strengthened capacity of both national and county institutions in the five key results areas: KRA 1 - public financial management including improved county budgeting, revenue management; use of integrated financial management information system (IFMIS); financial accounting, recording and reporting, procurement, and internal and external audit performance. KRA 2 - planning and monitoring and evaluation including improved county planning, progress reports, monitoring and evaluation, and linkages between county plans and budgets. KRA 3 - human resource (HR) and performance management including county staffing plans, HR competency frameworks, appraisal, and performance contracting systems. KRA 4 - devolution and inter-governmental relations including introduction of a new performance-based conditional grant. KRA 5 - civic education and public participation: enhanced rollout of civic education and county civic education units; greater number of counties that meet the county government act requirements for public participation and transparency. The PforR will support and incentivize national government to provide improved capacity building support to counties in each KRA, while simultaneously supporting counties to make system and capacity improvements. |
