Vacancies: Finance 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).
AHADI is designed to support Kenya’s vision and agenda for achieving the promise of devolution.
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;
- Targeted counties provide higher quality services through improved governance
- Improved representation of citizen interests and oversight of targeted county government performance
- 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.
