World Bank Devolution TF World Bank Devolution TF - Devolution The 2010 constitution established a two level governance system, comprising a national government and 47 county governments. The constitution also established other institutions critical to the success of devolution. The new structure of governance came into place after the 2013 general elections. Most of the institutions created are new and starting off from scratch and their capacity needs to be strengthened in order for them to play their rightful role of ensuring devolution becomes a reality. The government of Kenya has since put in place the policy, legal and institutional framework for the implementation of devolution. Through MTP 2, the government has prioritized the full implementation of the constitution to ensure rapid set up of Counties without disruption of service delivery. At the same time, the GOK has prioritized capacity development and alignment at both county and national levels. 
This intervention will be contributing to efforts by the governemnt of Kenya to enhance the capacity of county governments and other related institutions to play their part in ensuring devolution succeeeds. It will be implemnted through the World Bank's Multi Donor Devolution Partnership Facility with funding from several partners including USAID, EU, UKaid, Finland and Sweden.  The overall objective of the facility is strengthened core devolved governance systems at both national and county level. Insatsen är mycket relevant och kommer vid rätt tid – den är också i linje med Kenyas, Sveriges och Världsbankens prioriteringar. Kenyas regering har uppvisat nödvändigt ägarskap och ledarskap, riskerna som analyserats är generellt klassificerade som låga till mellanhöga och olika riskåtgärder finns på plats. Det är därför högst sannolikt att projektmålen kommer att uppnås och att insatsen blir ett betydande bidrag till genomförandet av decentraliseringsreformen i enlighet med 2010 års konstitution. Det föreslås därför att Sverige stödjer programmet med 17 miljoner kr under perioden januari 2015 – december 2017. KADP’s specific objectives are to improve knowledge and capacity of national and county level stakeholders to implement a successful devolution process, and to help build the accountability relationship between the new county governments and Kenyan citizens for improved efficiency and development results.
