Devolution presents a powerful opportunity for inclusive development, responsive governance, and local empowerment. At Profiscal Systems Consultants (PFSC), we provide comprehensive advisory services to support the design, implementation, and strengthening of devolved system governance structures that promote efficiency, transparency, and equity across counties.

We work closely with governments, development partners, and civil society to help realize the full promise of devolution through well-functioning institutional and intergovernmental frameworks.

Our Core Support Areas:

✅ Institutional Framework Design and Review

We assist counties in developing and reviewing their governance structures, including organizational designs, departmental mandates, and functional assignments. Our focus is on clarity, accountability, and alignment with constitutional and statutory requirements.

✅ Intergovernmental Relations and Coordination

PFSC supports the design of frameworks and platforms for effective vertical and horizontal coordination between national and county governments. This includes guidance on intergovernmental forums, joint service delivery mechanisms, and dispute resolution protocols.

✅ Policy and Legislative Development

We advise on the development and harmonization of policies, bills, and regulations that guide governance at the county level. Our services ensure legal consistency with the Constitution of Kenya 2010, the Intergovernmental Relations Act, and other enabling laws.

✅ Public Participation and Social Accountability Mechanisms

We design systems to ensure that citizen voices are heard in governance processes. This includes the establishment of public forums, participatory planning tools, and grievance redress mechanisms that empower communities to co-govern.

✅ Human Resource and Organizational Capacity Development

PFSC supports counties in building effective public service structures, including job evaluations, performance management systems, and staff development programs. We emphasize professionalism, integrity, and service delivery excellence.

✅ Oversight and Institutional Accountability Systems

We help strengthen internal audit units, public accounts committees, county assemblies, and ethics offices to provide robust oversight and checks and balances in devolved governance.
