Agile and Harmonized Assistance for Devolved Institutions

(AHADI) is a USAID-funded project housed at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany designed to support the implementation of devolution in Kenya. SUNY enlisted a Capstone team to support AHADFs review of certain county planning elements—namely the cross-cutting issues of gender mainstreaming, climate change, and the Kenyan County Integrated Development Plans (ClDPs). The team traveled to three counties in Kenya to interview government

officials and gather information on current development project implementation and budgeting in the 1st Generation CIDP (2013- 2017) and the current planning process of the 2nd Generation CIDP (2018-2022). Through analysis of their fieldwork findings, the team formulated conclusions and recommendations for AHADI to leverage their ongoing work with Kenyan county development planning.
