Tabs Example

The Kenya Devolution Support Program (KDSP) is a four year program supported by the World Bank to strengthen county performance in the financing, management, co-ordination and accountability for resources. The program support capacity building and institutional strengthening in the three (3) Key Result Areas as identified in the national capacity building framework.

Performance Based Grants

KDSP is a performance-based grant — from the central government to counties. The 2015 Budget Policy Statement (BPS) states that the national government will design a performance grant framework “to support county governments as the centres for service delivery and economic expansion, especially in the areas of public financial management (PFM), good governance practices and supporting the counties to be fully operational,” as well as to enhance fiscal responsibility principles. The draft 2016 Budget Policy Statement builds on this proposal:

“Counties will be free to ‘opt into’ the grant, which will entail agreeing to prepare and implement a capacity building plan, an annual performance assessment, reporting on grant funds received, among other ‘conditions’. In the first year (2016/17), participating counties will receive a basic allocation shared out as follows: 50 percent using the equitable share formula and 50 percent equally. In subsequent years, well-performing counties will receive an extra allocation shared out using an index combining the equitable share formula and [their] performance scores. Counties will be able to invest proceeds from the capacity/performance grant on a range of eligible development projects as per their approved County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs).” The Program Development Objective (PDO) is to strengthen capacity of core national and county institutions to improve delivery of devolved services at the county level
