Other Public Sector Reforms – Programmes and Projects
Capacity Building Reforms Programmes: A skills audit shall be undertaken at both the National and county governments to be matched against the competencies required for the Public Service. Further greater efforts shall be placed on building the required ICT skills which will include enterprise architecture.
Integrated Human Resource Information System: During the First MTP, a Government Human Resource Information System (GHRIS) portal was developed with the objective of addressing all Government Human Resource (HR) needs. The System will be configured to interface with other existing and future systems like IFMIS, G-Pay, and IPPD in a platform that will ensure smooth operations in a linked up government.
E-procurement System: An e-procurement and interactive system will be developed and implemented to store information on all pre-qualified suppliers, market prices of goods and services. This will enable any supplier to bid for tenders in a transparent manner to avoid the delays and corruption in the procurement system.
Modernisation of Records Management: Proper IT-based records management systems will be developed and implemented to avoid loss of records and delays in service delivery.
Real-time Performance Monitoring System (PMS): A real-time Performance Management System will be developed to enable online real-time monitoring of performance at all levels by the President, Cabinet Secretaries, PrincipalSecretaries and Chief Executive Officers down to the lowest institutional levels and obtain feed-back. A Performance Awards System will be developed modelled around the principles of the ‘Company of the Year” for Counties.
Rolling out of Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Strategy: The IEC strategy will be rolled out with an objective of empowering citizens by disseminating information on policies, strategies, programs and results of the public service.
Restructuring of the Kenya Foreign Service Institute: The Foreign Service Institute, established in 2007, will be transformed to a Foreign Service Academy and Semi Autonomous Government Agency in order to tackle the increasingly complex international and regional diplomatic processes. It will also enhance the skills and knowledge of members of the Foreign Service, making them more professional, effective and able to perform a variety of tasks.
