Identifying issues, analysing, Informing empowering county administrators on the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for capacity improvement in 47 counties of Kenya.
The County Capacity Study is an initiative of USAID’s Agile and Harmonized Assistance for Devolved Institutions (AHADI), and the Institute for Development Studies (IDS), University of Nairobi. A team of researchers based at IDS, in consultation with AHADI, carry out yearly assessment. So far three assessments have been undertaken in collaboration with AHADI-USAID. The study seeks to: examine the situation in a broad array of issues on capacity for service delivery and performance in the counties; help identify existing capacity strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for performance by both the County Executive and the Assembly; generate baseline data for monitoring and evaluating county progress as AHADI implements the capacity development program; generate recommendations, where appropriate, arising from identified constraints in the CCI areas.
