The County Government of Uasin Gishu, led by Governor Dr. Jonathan Bii, has successfully concluded the second and final day of the NEPAD/CPRM (New Partnership for Africa’s Development/Continental Peer Review Mechanism) assessment in Ngeria Ward, Kapseret Constituency. This significant milestone in governance evaluation and development planning at the grassroots level aims to align local initiatives with continental frameworks.
The review process, spearheaded by Dr. Rose C. Kitur, the Director of Programmes at NEPAD, provided a vital platform for assessing the socio-economic progress, governance effectiveness, and policy implementation within the region. The exercise engaged a broad range of stakeholders, including government officials, civil society leaders, and community representatives, ensuring that local voices were central to the discussions.
On the final day of the review, discussions focused on key areas such as institutional governance, economic resilience, infrastructure development, and social equity. Dr. Kitur highlighted the importance of evidence-based policymaking, emphasizing that the insights gathered during the review would be instrumental in shaping future interventions.
"Sustainable development cannot thrive in isolation. Community engagement in governance strengthens accountability and ensures policies remain people-centered," Dr. Kitur said, reinforcing the need for inclusive and responsive governance.
Stakeholders from both Megun and Ngeria wards deliberated on various strategies aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity, improving healthcare accessibility, and empowering youth and women. Other key topics included resource allocation, public service delivery, and environmental sustainability, all of which are integral to the region's development agenda.
As the review concluded, there was a strong commitment to translating the gathered insights and recommendations into actionable policy reforms. NEPAD reaffirmed its role in monitoring the implementation of these reforms and fostering collaboration among stakeholders to ensure meaningful progress.
This review, part of the broader African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM), has reinforced the region’s commitment to improving governance, accountability, and development strategies that are responsive to local realities. With the successful conclusion of the Ngeria Ward review, attention now shifts to policy adoption and execution, setting a strong precedent for similar reviews and engagements across the region.
