Abstract
The subnational Public Expenditure and
Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessment seeks to
ascertain the performance of the PFM system of county
governments using the PEFA methodology. So far, the
Government of Kenya has gained experience in the application
of the PEFA methodology by undertaking four national PEFA
assessments over the years, the latest of which was carried
out in 2017 and the report is due for completion in 2018.
However, this is the first subnational assessment to be
carried out in Kenya following the adoption of a devolved
system of government. It is notable that the national and
subnational PEFA assessments are being done almost
concurrently, and this is important because both levels of
government share the same public finance management (PFM)
system, implying that evidence-based reform agenda can be
implemented simultaneously after areas of improvements are
identified. The subnational assessments, which covered 6 out
of 47 counties, have been jointly financed by the World Bank
and International Development Research Centre (IDRC) through
the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA).
