Assignment Report: Fiduciary Risk Assessment (FRA) of Kenya Education Sector Support Programme (KESSP)

Abstract

The overall fiduciary risk in the Kenya Education Sector Support Programme (KESSP) was found to be High. The risks assessments were based on a combination of two previous Public Expenditure Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessments in 2006 & 2008; Education Sector-specific financial management assessments; and professional judgement.

The assessment reviewed public financial management accountability (PFMA) at the national level central processes before examining the Education Sector-specific issues. DFID's approach recommends that an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of PFM systems be based on the PEFA methodology, which evaluates 28 high-level PFM indicators, grouped into six broad categories based on the budget cycle.
