The report is organized in three parts. The first, traces the broad contours of the reform process in Kenya: the inter-governmental system, local government and key local service sectors (such as water, roads, education, and health), and the macro reform processes (such as the public sector reforms, and the Kenya Constitution Review). The second part, reviews the existing systems for local service delivery, including aspects such as institutional arrangements, planning and financing for local services, and the structure, and finances of local governments. The third part focuses on a synthesis of key issues in the reform process, and discusses the strategic directions for both the Bank, and the Department of International Development (DFID), regarding future support to the Government of Kenya for improvements in local service delivery, and related local government reform.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIESALLOCATION OF RESOURCESAUDITINGAUDITSAUTHORIZATIONBUDGET PROCESSBUSINESS PERMITCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL GRANTSCAPITAL PROJECTSCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCITIZENCITIZEN PARTICIPATIONCITIZENSCIVIL SERVICECIVIL SERVICE REFORMSCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOALITIONSCOMMERCIAL BORROWINGCOMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONSCOMMUNITY DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCOMMUNITY LEVELCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMMUNITY-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCONSTITUTIONCORRUPTIONCREDITWORTHINESSDEBTDEBT MANAGEMENTDECENTRALIZATIONDECENTRALIZATION FRAMEWORKDECISION MAKERSDECONCENTRATIONDEGREE OF AUTONOMYDEVOLUTIONDISTRICTSDONOR ASSISTANCEECONOMIC DECLINEECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MANAGEMENTEMPLOYMENTEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL INFORMATIONFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL PERFORMANCEFINANCIAL REFORMSFINANCIAL REPORTINGFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCING MECHANISMSFISCALFISCAL CRISISFISCAL REFORMSGARBAGE COLLECTIONGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONSGOVERNMENT LEVELSGOVERNMENT REFORMGOVERNMENT REVENUEGOVERNMENT SYSTEMSGROWTH RATESHOUSINGHUMAN RESOURCEHUMAN RESOURCESINCOMEINSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTSINSTITUTIONAL STRUCTUREINTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERSINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTLACK OF ACCOUNTABILITYLACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMSLARGE CITIESLEGAL PROVISIONSLEVELS OF GOVERNMENTLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL AUTHORITYLOCAL ELECTIONSLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENT SECTORLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL LEVELLOCAL LEVELSLOCAL REVENUELOCAL SERVICESMANDATESMINISTRY OF FINANCENATIONAL ELECTIONSPERFORMANCE CRITERIAPOLICY ANALYSISPOLITICAL DEVELOPMENTPOLITICAL DYNAMICSPOLITICAL PARTYPOOR MANAGEMENTPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATIZATIONPUBLIC FINANCESPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SECTOR EFFICIENCYPUBLIC SECTOR REFORMPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICESRATIONALIZATIONRECURRENT EXPENDITURESREFORM PROGRAMSRESOURCE CONSTRAINTSREVENUE ADMINISTRATIONREVENUE PERFORMANCEROADSSECTOR MINISTRIESSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEMSSERVICE PROVISIONSOCIAL INDICATORSSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIAL OUTCOMESSOCIAL SERVICESSTRUCTURAL REFORMSTRUCTURAL REFORMSTASK TEAM LEADERTAXTECHNICAL ASSISTANCEURBAN AREASURBAN POORURBAN POVERTYURBAN SERVICESUSER CHARGES LOCAL GOVERNMENTSERVICE DELIVERYPUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENTREFORM POLICYDECENTRALIZATIONINTERAGENCY COORDINATIONWATER SUPPLYROADS & HIGHWAYSEDUCATION SECTORHEALTH CARE DELIVERYMACROECONOMIC REFORMLOCAL FINANCINGLOCAL LEVELINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKREFORM IMPLEMENTATIONDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEWorld Bank10.1596/15415
