Vacancy: M & E Assistant
The Agile
and Harmonized Assistance for Devolved Institutions (AHADI) is a five year
USAID program implemented by the State University of New York’s (SUNY) Center
for International Development (CID).
The
program’s interventions aim to promote governance systems that are transparent,
accountable, effective in service delivery, and responsive to empowered
citizens by working at both the national and county government levels.
AHADI has
three main objectives;
1. Targeted
counties provide higher quality services through improved governance
2. Improved
representation of citizen interests and oversight of targeted county government
performance
3. Functionality
and effectiveness of the devolved system increased through intra-government
engagement and cooperation.
Though AHADI is primarily a DRG project focused on improving the
governance of Kenya’s new decentralized, system, it is also designed to have
substantial impact on other sectors, as well.
AHADI
therefore takes a sectorial approach in achieving its overall governance
objectives. These sectors include but are not limited to good governance,
resilience and economic growth, education, health and WASH.
