| Summary: | The subnational Public Expenditure and
Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessment seeks to
ascertain the performance of the public financial management
(PFM) system of county governments using the PEFA
methodology. So far, the Government of Kenya has gained
experience in the application of the PEFA methodology by
undertaking four national PEFA assessments over the years,
the latest carried out in 2017 and the report due for
completion in 2018. However, this is the first subnational
assessment to be carried out in Kenya following the adoption
of a devolved system of government. It is notable that the
national and subnational PEFA assessments are almost being
done concurrently and this is important because both levels
of government share the same PFM system implying that an
evidence-based reform agenda can be implemented
simultaneously after areas that require improvements are
identified. The subnational assessments, which covered 6 out
of 47 counties, have been jointly financed by the World Bank
and International Development Research Centre (IDRC) through
the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA). |
