Key legislation, including the County Government Act of 2012 and the Urban Areas and Cities Act of 2011, have provided the framework for far reaching changes.

The engagement and support to counties to adopt the new frameworks has been stepped up substantially since mid-2013. This is evidenced by the progress of the transition process under the Transition Authority and Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution.

The overview over the next pages
summarizes key themes and findings from on-going technical
assistance provided to the Kenyan water sector by the Water
and Sanitation Program (WSP) of the World Bank’s Water
Global Practice. Kenya’s new Constitution (Constitution of
Kenya 2010) came into effect in 2013, declaring water supply
and sanitation services a basic right and devolving key
water and sanitation functions to the county level. Key
legislation, including the County Government Act of 2012 and
the Urban Areas and Cities Act of 2011, have provided the
framework for far reaching changes. As these changes took
shape before and after the new constitution came into
effect, WSP’s TA programs have been providing specific
advice at the national level1 to align the sector’s legal
and institutional frameworks to the new decentralized
constitution. The engagement and support to counties to
adopt the new frameworks has been stepped up substantially
since mid-2013. This is evidenced by the progress of the
transition process under the Transition Authority and
Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution. This
note seeks to briefly highlight priorities and practical
suggestions to pursue those priorities in order to support
counties as they navigate the process of devolution. |
