M & E Assistant Job in Kenya

Vacancy: M & E Assistant 

The

Agile and Harmonized Assistance for Devolved Institutions (AHADI) is a five

year USAID program implemented by the State University of New York’s (SUNY)

Center for International Development (CID). 

AHADI

is designed to support Kenya’s vision and agenda for achieving the promise of

devolution. 

The

program’s interventions aim to promote governance systems that are transparent,

accountable, effective in service delivery, and responsive to empowered

citizens by working at both the national and county government levels. 

AHADI

has three main objectives;

1.   
Targeted counties provide higher quality services through

improved governance

2.   
Improved representation of citizen interests and oversight of

targeted county government performance

3.   
Functionality and effectiveness of the devolved system increased

through intra-government engagement and cooperation.

Though AHADI is primarily a DRG project focused on improving the

governance of Kenya’s new decentralized, system, it is also designed to have

substantial impact on other sectors, as well. 

AHADI

therefore takes a sectorial approach in achieving its overall governance

objectives. These sectors include but are not limited to good governance,

resilience and economic growth, education, health and WASH.
