How the United Nations works in Kenya is about to change.
Under a new development plan signed last week, 25 U.N. agencies are now set to have a single country program aimed at helping the Kenyan government in its aspirations of becoming a middle-income country by 2030.
The U.N. Development Assistance Framework for Kenya will see all U.N. agencies aligning their priorities and goals with those of the government. This also even includes their budget cycle, meaning that starting this year, the U.N. will shift its budgetary cycle from January to July, the start of the Kenyan government’s fiscal year, said Patterson Siema, spokesperson for the U.N. Development Program in Nairobi.
