Description
The Government of Kenya’s Poverty and Environment Initiative Project (PEI) aims to enhance the contribution of sound environmental management to poverty reduction, sustainable economic growth and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Led by the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources (MEMR)), among the intended outcomes of PEI is the integration of environment into national policy, planning and budget processes in order to support the implementation of the District Development Plans, and the Medium Term Plan towards the realization of Kenya’s long term development blueprint-the Vision 2030.
Different economic instruments such as the Public Expenditure Reviews (PERs), involve the analysis of allocation and management of public expenditures and may cover all government expenditure or focus on a few priority sectors such as agriculture, water, infrastructure, etc. Information obtained from PERs is used to provide guidance to strategic planning and budget preparation and to identify ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of resource allocations. Increasingly, PER processes are applied to expenditure management systems and institutions, since institutional framework, organizational capacity, and everyday expenditure management practice of government determines the allocation and management of public expenditures.
The Environment and Rural Development (ERD) sector is currently reviewing and revising its strategic plan as part of the ongoing ministerial strategic planning process to align sector priorities with the Kenya Vision 2030 and its first Medium Term Plan (MTP-2008-2012).
One of the key areas of this undertaking is the budgetary process to guide budget allocation by key sector priorities identified through a participatory process that draws consensus from pertinent stakeholders. Budget allocation will, in a significant measure, be influenced by public expenditure review (PER) which provides an independent assessment of the adequacy, appropriateness and effectiveness of spending on the ENR sector as well as addressing ENR issues in other sectors such as Agriculture, Energy and Industry. This will then inform any future revisions of sector plans, the preparation of the sector MTEF/budgets and the accounting and auditing functions within the relevant the Ministries within this sector.
The expenditure analysis and recommendations are intended to demonstrate how GOK and donor resources are currently used, and to recommend how to improve resource utilization for the realization of MDGs, Vision 2030 and overall sustainable development in the country. The output of the exercise will be a tool to enable MOF, MSPND&V2030, MEMR and NEMA to improve prioritisation, efficiency and effectiveness of all public resources in support of the environment sector.
The review should be extensive and cover the period 2002-2009 i.e. the previous MTP period through to the current financial year (FY). A key aspect of the PER is to analyse expenditure allocations, efficiency of budget execution, as well as the role played by different stakeholders in the budgeting processes. A particular issue to look at is the extent to which resources allocated to particular activities are utilised and accounted for, and whether the quality and timeliness of accountability and technical reporting have been or are in any way likely to constitute a constraining factor in the smooth execution of the budget.The above is the summarized version of the original procurement notice.
