While the action will work with the executive to rollout out performance management frameworks, significant focus will be strengthening technical capacity of the legislature (county assemblies) to approve performance management plans and provide oversight on the performance management reports. This approach, working from the legislature, aims at enabling them to proactively hold the executive to account at all levels of PEM process during service delivery through performance management lenses. To consolidate interventions through a harmonised approach, there is need to work with all the agencies supporting performance management to finalise roll out the framework at both levels of government.
