Rigathi Gachagua, together with the UN Resident Coordinator to Kenya, Dr Stephen Jackson, and the Ambassador of the Netherlands to Kenya, Maarten Brouwer, gathered the Kenyan Government and development partners on 22 to discuss priorities and obstacles for strengthened cooperation and coordination between the Kenyan Government and development partners to Kenya. The “Development Partnerships Forum” was the first in five years and as so marked a renewed commitment to effective development cooperation under Kenya's growing bilateral and multilateral relations.</p> <p>The Deputy President, H.E. Rigathi Gachagua, emphasized the Government of Kenya's dedication to principles of effective development cooperation, including ownership of development priorities, focus on results, inclusive partnerships, and transparency.</p> <blockquote><p>“The Development Partnerships Forum is a collective commitment to advancing our nation's development agenda and fostering effective collaboration between the Government and our Development Partners,” </p> <p>Deputy President, H.E Rigathi Gachagua.</p> </blockquote> <figure role="group" data-caption="Caption: Deputy President H.E.

He stressed the importance of aligning development efforts with the Kenyan Government’s priorities, specifically the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) and Medium-Term Plan IV (MTPIV). This alignment, Brouwer asserted, is crucial for effective interventions, transparent decisions and ultimately sustainable development for all Kenyans.</p> <p>Dr. Stephen Jackson, the UN Resident Coordinator to Kenya – also speaking in capacity as co-chair of the Development Partners Group - underscored the importance of visibility in aid efforts and the challenges of quantifying fragmented aid. Dr. Jackson emphasised the need for a more consolidated view of aid efforts in Kenya, comprising loans, grants, and various sources.</p> <p>“There is need for increased transparency, especially on support to Kenya through implementing partners such as the UN or NGOs (off-budget support), in order for both the Kenyan Government and development partners to get a more holistic picture of support to Kenya – who does what, where and how - and how this aligns with the Government’s key priorities,” stated the Resident Coordinator.</p> <figure role="group" data-caption="Caption: UN Resident Coordinator Dr. Stephen Jackson addressing the delegates at the Development Forum.<br /><br /> Photo: © Deputy Presidential Communication Service - Kenya" data-embed-button="images" data-entity-embed-display="undg_view_mode:media.half_width" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{"override_caption":"UN Resident Coordinator Dr. Stephen Jackson addressing the delegates at the Development Forum.","link_image":""}" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="c86d9b7c-63c5-4894-b8d9-b0b99656ee84" data-langcode="en" class="embedded-entity caption"><br> <article class="media media--type-image media--view-mode-half-width"> <div class="field field--name-thumbnail field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="eager" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/2023-11/DPF%20RC.jpeg?h=08b866d1&itok=jIk-ctXG" width="900" height="600" class="image-style-large"> </div> </article> <figcaption> <div class="caption-text block max-w-sm ml-auto mr-0 mt-4 text-black text-right text-xs opacity-70"> <span>Caption: UN Resident Coordinator Dr. Stephen Jackson addressing the delegates at the Development Forum.</span> </div> <div class="image-source"> <span class="block max-w-sm ml-auto mr-0 mt-2 text-black text-right text-xs opacity-70">Photo: © Deputy Presidential Communication Service - Kenya</span> </div> </figcaption> </figure> <p>Dr Jackson also called for a strengthened focus not just on the numbers but on the tangible results and impacts of support, aligning with the Paris principles of aid effectiveness.</p> <p>Prof. Njuguna Ndung'u, Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury & Economic Planning, emphasised the importance of tax policy and institutional reforms.
