Kericho County Monitoring and Evaluation Policy 2021

Abstract

The County Government of Kericho through formulation and execution of this M&E policy as an integral part of its mandate which among others includes prudent use and accounting for resources in its custody; seeks to bolster its effort in improving service delivery to her people. This policy is a product of an extensive participatory process and appreciates the fact that M&E is not only concerned with day to day reporting or tracking of progress in Government funded projects but also those of other actors including None state actors and charitable organisations. Beyond just reporting, it also seeks to measure the socio- economic changes brought about by the developmental activities being executed. The content of this policy document is informed by the National and County levels relevant laws and regulations. Of note are the National Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation systems (NIMES) and the devolved units specific system County Integrated monitoring and Evaluation system; which this policy provides a foundation for its realization. It is hoped that with this policy document now in place all stakeholders within and outside the County will double up their commitment to the establishment of good governance, transparency and accountability at all levels. Further, with this policy in place, the establishment of well-functioning public institutions and guarantee of quality public service delivery across all sectors in now not a far-fetched wish or pipe dream but a reality.
