Policy Monitor, Issue 4 No. 2, January-June 2012 on An Assessment of Kenya's Financial Governance

Abstract

I /enya participated in a IK pilot exercise leading I \to the roll out of the African Governance Outlook (AGO), a new flagship report on financial governance in Africa. The report, which is a flagship publication of the African Development Bank (ADB), is aimed at projecting the African voice on issues of financial governance and serving as a tool for measuring governance performance. It will monitor trends over time and support African countries in enhancing their capability, publicness, transparency and accountability in the management of public resources, as well as promote evidence-based policy dialogue, and inform financial governance reforms. Kenya has been involved in the pilot phase of the project, and this article provides the experiences arising from the piloting.
