| dc.description.abstract | The Public Affairs Index (PAI) is a framework for monitoring delivery of public
services at the county level. The Index helps to identify gaps, bring out emerging
issues, and guide in prioritizing policy actions. The project that generated the
PAI demonstrates the role of KIPPRA, as a think tank and research intermediary,
in strengthening frameworks and tools for coordinating key stakeholders in the
research ecosystem in Kenya to dialogue, network and enhance research uptake
to inform the implementation of the devolved system of government. Through
the project, five ecosystem strengthening goals have been achieved, as part of the
RISA Fund, namely the building of human capital for the research stakeholders
involved, enhancing research uptake into policies and regulations at the national
platform as well as county level, equitable and inclusive participation devolved to
each of the 47 counties, the networking of assets to drive collaboration between
research actors and policy makers, and providing incentives for high quality
research.
Hence, based on the RISA project, this report provides detailed indicators in the
framework across nine pillars, namely fiscal management, economic performance,
human capital development, essential infrastructure, environmental management,
transparency and accountability, crime and justice, water, sanitation and hygiene
(WASH), and social welfare. | en |
