The program has registered the following achievements. National level implementing agencies (i.e. National Treasury, Ministry of Devolution and Planning, Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs; and Kenya School of Government) have developed and are implementing strategic plans in support of county capacity development in line with the National Capacity Building Framework. All 47 counties have qualified for level I grants (capacity building grants) and in addition, put in place the required implementation mechanisms for this grant. With the support of the National Treasury and the Senate, KES 2.16 billion toward the county capacity building grants has been included in the FY 2017/18 budget and County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA). The release of the first tranche of the capacity building grants is expected to happen in December, 2017. Level II grants (performance grants) will be released to eligible counties this fiscal year 2017/18 based on the results from the first Annual Capacity and Performance Assessment (ACPA). Eligible counties have to pass the minimum performance conditions as per the program design. These grants will be used for selected projects in the County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs). KES 4 billion has been allocated in the budget and in the CARA toward this grant. In total, KES 6.16 billion has been allocated this fiscal year by Government through KDSP to support counties.
