The Institute for Development Studies held a stakeholder engagement forum on Thursday, 23rd January 2025 that brought together devolution actors.

IDS is carrying out a study on the political economy of devolution in Kenya, to inform the ongoing Kenya Devolution Programme (KDP) (2021 – 2025), led by Act Change Transform (ACT!). The focus of KDP is on the four intervention areas namely:
i. Intergovernmental relations that support devolution
ii. Effective county planning, public finance management, and staff performance
iii. County government and citizens’ engagement to improve service delivery and livelihoods, and
iv. Evidence generation, digital technology, and learning as enablers of public service delivery and reforms.

IDS is a multi-disciplinary and multi-purpose research institute that researches high-priority areas of development in Kenya, Africa, and the world in general.
