@IPDET @IPDET_community @CLEARAA1 This is a very important milestone in the evaluation journey for African countries.
Attended the inaugural International Program for Development Evaluation Training (IPDET).View quoted post on X
The event, organized by IPDET and CLEAR–Anglophone Africa, brought together participants from around the world alongside senior Kenyan government officials.
In my address, I highlighted Kenya's strong Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework anchored on key instruments such as the National M&E Policy, Evaluation Guidelines, and the National and County Integrated M&E Systems (NIMES and CIMES).
I also noted that under the Fourth Medium-Term Plan (2023–2027), guided by the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), Kenya has recorded significant gains: inflation declined from 9% to 3.8%, maize flour prices dropped from KSh 250 to under KSh 165, over 330,000 jobs have been created through the Affordable Housing Programme, KSh 74 billion disbursed under the Hustler Fund and 452,000 youth secured jobs abroad.
Additionally, 25.8 million Kenyans are now covered under the Social Health Authority (SHA), supported by 100,000 community health promoters.
Looking ahead, Kenya will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of Vision 2030 to inform Vision 2063 and assess the impact of the NG-CDF.
We also aspire to position Kenya as a continental hub for evaluation excellence through a tripartite partnership with IPDET, CLEAR–AA and the Kenya School of Government.
@MutahiNgunyi because you are illiterate in statistics, let me educate you on the new constitution that makes it difficult for one to gunner 50%+1 vote. Moi ruled Kenya with 36% of the votes. Did you know that the combined votes of Matiba and Kibaki were more than moi’s?
Dear Gachagua: You will NOT win the war against Ruto. When Kikuyus showed ARROGANCE towards Mzee Moi, he IGNORED them. Then he turned to the MINORITY tribes like Somalis of Eastleigh, and ruled for 24 years! Do you UNDERSTAND what I am saying?View quoted post on X
