The National Treasury is set to introduce the Development Partners Management Information System (DPMIS), a new platform designed to track and monitor development partner funds amounting to Sh2.48 trillion flowing into Kenya.
The system will provide comprehensive data on contributors, funding allocations, commitments, and disbursements. It aims to improve coordination, accountability, and decision-making related to development partner support.
Key Features of DPMIS
- Tracks contributions from 91 active development partners.
- Monitors 313 approved projects across all 47 counties.
- Records 229 mapped locations showing distribution of resources.
- Provides real-time data on commitment utilisation, currently at 48.92%.
During a recent meeting with department heads, Treasury Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo emphasized the importance of data quality, timeliness, completeness, and coverage in the system's development. He also called for robust mechanisms to ensure timely reporting and validation of partner information.
The Treasury highlighted that DPMIS will not only serve as an information repository but will transform development finance data into actionable intelligence. This will enhance planning, oversight, and alignment of partner resources with Kenya’s national development priorities.
Currently, the Kenya Development Partner Funding and Accountability Platform reflects full activation of registered partner profiles and captures both partner commitments and counterpart funding across the country.
The system is expected to be operational before the end of the year, marking a significant step towards improved transparency and efficiency in managing external development funds.
