The Development Partners are involved in the following:

  • Dialogue on PFM Reform: This is led by the Chair PFM Development Partners Group supported by DP thematic leads.  The dialogue focusses on achievements of key PFM Strategy results, formally through the PFMR Steering Committee and Joint Technical Committee and through interactions with result teams and lead MDAs. 
  • Financial support to Strategy implementation and capacity building: There are three broad categories of this support.   First, budget support linked to the achievement of Strategy results is the preferred modality from the perspective of the Government of Kenya, as this gives greater flexibility to achieve the results in line with the Strategy.  Secondly, direct support towards Strategy implementation channelled via the Secretariat, and support to the implementation of MDAs work plans.  This still provides flexibility and transparency in the allocation of resources and expenditures.  Thirdly, DPs may provide direct project support to implementing MDAs and Counties. However, the details of the support are to be provided to the Secretariat to ensure comprehensive reporting of reforms.
  • Complementary flexible support for reform facilitation: Using this channel, DPs aim to support behavioural change through a problem based, collaborative and iterative approach to reform implementation.  Support is focused on result teams and the Secretariat. The support is expected to be flexible, responsive, and timely and in the form of parallel provision of TA.
  • The PFMR Secretariat and the PFM DPG Group, coordinate DP support to ensure complementarities and alignment with the Strategy.
