Donor(s)

National Government (State Department for Devolution) and the World Bank

Program Objectives

---

The program focuses on enhancing county revenue mobilization, improving expenditure management, and strengthening intergovernmental coordination. It also aims to improve institutional performance and human resource management at the county level.

Program Description

---

The proposed KDSP II will build on the achievements of the first phase of the Kenya Devolution Support Program (KDSP), which was implemented from 2016 to 2021. Through KDSP I, foundational institutions, systems, and capacities to support devolution were put in place, but certain gaps remain. Through the implementation of several other devolved sector projects, a common theme of challenges has emerged, which the Program also proposes to address. The overarching objective is to strengthen counties to deliver on their functions efficiently and effectively. The Program proposes to address these challenges through a range of activities undertaken by national Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and county governments.
