MDG Outlook
 Is Kenya on the right track to reach the MDGs for
water and sanitation?
 Kenya appears to be on the right track to achieve the
MDGs for WSS,…. greater attention needs to be paid to
resource allocation and equity.
 To achieve the MDGs by 2015, 15.8m more people need
to obtain access to water and 16.5m more people need
access to sanitation.
 This would require an increase in current capacity of
about 1.18 times for water supply, and 2.15 times for
sanitation.

Main issues to be addressed
 Restructuring the Ministry of Water and Irrigation
 Operationalize the new sector institutions, by equipping
them adequately with the resources
 The need to move towards a Sector Wide Approach,
including an improved sector investment plan and a
collaborative budget process
 Strengthen the existing legal and institutional frameworks
to clarify roles, encourage private sector participation
 Improved M&E systems are needed to track progress,
particularly regarding access, financing, and costeffectiveness

Measures to improve national strategies
 While there are positive signs that the GoK is serious
about water sector reform, the NWSS), Water
Resources Management Strategy (WRMS) and Sector
Investment Plan remain in draft form, and need to be
finalized, opened for public consultation, and
adopted.
 The environmental sanitation and hygiene policy
under preparation needs to be finalized, with
engagement from the Ministry of Health and Ministry
of Education
6
Measures for improving sector financing
 Need to implement the SWAp through the
development of a sector investment plan and
development of a collaborative budget process.
 Water pricing policies must be rationalized to
ensure cost recovery for the sector and more
efficient use of water resources, while retaining a
pro-poor element for equity and access
7
Measures for improving sector
monitoring and evaluation
 An M&E unit within MWI needs to be supported to be
effective tracking progress towards the MDGs. and to
provide reliable access to data and inventory information at
appropriate planning level (district/ services board), as well
as unit costs and value for money tracking.
 Develop effective planning, monitoring & evaluation
systems/tools in order for effective monitoring of progress
in the sector. This should be based on the establishment of
accurate data and statistics on water and sanitation
coverage
8
Measures to improve sector capacity
Medium
 Technical Assistance (TA) should be provided to
utilities, to ensure a smooth shift from centrally
managed utilities, to autonomous water utilities
working under proven corporate principles.
 Facilitate the participation of the private sector,
civil society and communities in investment
planning, financing service delivery and
management.
9
Measures to improve institutional
arrangements
 The Ministry of Water and Irrigation needs support to
complete its restructuring, and operationalize new
institutional arrangements as set forth in the law. This
includes leadership and measures to support engagement
with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education for
sanitation and hygiene issues.
 With the new institutional frameworks, capacity is required
in all areas, relating to staffing, work/business plan
development, strategic planning, and funding.
 There is a need to implement effectively the transfer plan to
adjust to the new institutional arrangements facing the
Ministry, including a human resources development
strategy, within the stipulated timeframe.
