Recruitment of International Individual Consultant - Technical Advisor – Devolution
4 Months Consultancy
Background: The adoption of the Constitution of Kenya (CoK 2010) was aimed at fundamentally altering the governance framework through far reaching reforms.
Of these, devolution of political power, responsibilities and resources has the most profound and transformative impacts on governance and the management of resources.
If effectively implemented, the CoK 2010 in general, and devolution in particular, should lead to a revolutionary transformation of Kenya and facilitate the achievement of the Kenya Vision 2030.
The 47 County Governments came into existence following the conclusion of the general election in March 2013.
The UN must therefore continue to position itself to strategically engage at both national and county levels and work with development partners in supporting the effective implementation of devolution.
The UN in Kenya has developed a new United Nations Development Assistance Framework (2014-2018).
Within the UNDAF, Devolution and Accountability is an outcome area under the Transformative Governance Pillar. Further devolution is a crosscutting theme within the UNDAF as the UN will have to implement its programmes within the framework of the devolved governance.
There is also a UN Joint Strategy on Devolution that provides an overall framework for UN support to devolution.
Objective: The overall objective of this assignment is to support the design of the UN Joint Programme on Devolution.
