Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>County governments are making steps in ensuring there\u2019s access to information related to the counties.<\/p>\n

Nandi County has also adopted the idea and a data desk was launched earlier this week. Nairobi County was the first county to adopt it.<\/p>\n

The initiative is a partnership between Nandi County Government, Open Institute and World Bank.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the launch, Nandi County Deputy Governor Yulita Mitei said the county hopes that the desk will help its residents.<\/p>\n

The desk will help statistical departments manage their data centrally and also provide better services.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hope is that the data desk functions will ultimately transition into a fully-fledged County Statistical Unit,\u201d Mitei said.<\/p>\n

Mitei added that in future, the unit will be backed with Official statistics and Citizen Generated Data.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlongside other innovative tools and methods through which departments can process data more regularly – for the benefit of the people of Nandi county,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Open Institute Executive Director Al Kags said the data desk will allow both insiders and outsiders to get information and data about the county.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn other countries, data desks provide such data which predominantly includes budgets to support public participation,\u201d Kags said.<\/p>\n

Other services provided include spatial data, population, sectoral performance, policy targets, business services and public services.<\/p>\n

The data desk will be the central point for collecting, cleaning, coordinating and uploading data on the OC platform, received from various stakeholders.<\/p>\n

For the private sector, published county priorities (in procurement plans for example) can help forecast potential opportunities.<\/p>\n

For other county departments or Service Delivery Units, the data desk can be an early warning system to review the achievements of set targets.<\/p>\n

To the County Assembly, the rate of budget absorption can be monitored as a benchmark for determining the efficiency and effectiveness of the counties on the utilization, implementation, formulation and execution of the county budget.<\/p>\n
