Kenya Statistics Program for Results

closed

The development objective of the Statistics Program (SP)-for-Results Project for Kenya is to support the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) to generate better and more accessible data to inform policy-makers and contribute to strengthening its capacity. Progress towards the program development objective (PDO) will be monitored through four PDO-level indicators which, together, provide a coherent framework to measure increased capacity of KNBS to generate better and more accessible data to inform policy-making. The program results framework and disbursement linked indicator (DLIs) are built on the KNBS SP foundations and organized along the four intermediate results areas (IRA) which provide a logical results chain towards achieving the PDO. The results-oriented KNBS SP 2013-17 is framed around six strategic pillars and aims to address the above challenges. The 2013-17 SP was endorsed by the KNBS Board in December 2014 and is organized around six strategic focus areas: (1) addressing data gaps; (2) improving the quality of statistical information; (3) mainstreaming statistics in ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs), and county governments; (4) expanding communication, dissemination, and access to statistical information; (5) strengthening human resource management; and (6) undertaking institutional reforms and good governance.
