| 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 of which was carried out in 2017 and the report
is 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 being almost done concurrently, and this is important
because both levels of government share the same PFM system,
implying that evidence-based reform agenda can be
implemented simultaneously after areas of 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). |
