On April 7, 2025, the Eldoret National Polytechnic became the focal point of a significant national event as it welcomed a high-level delegation from the Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary, the State Department for Internal Security and National Administration, and focal officers representing various Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
This strategic engagement formed part of a government-wide monitoring and evaluation initiative aimed at reviewing the progress of priority development programmes and flagship projects under implementation across the country. The projects under evaluation have been selected based on their alignment with key national frameworks, including the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), the Fourth Medium-Term Plan, National Development Implementation Committee (NDIC) priorities, and the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).
The visit to Eldoret National Polytechnic underscores the government’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and results-driven governance. By carrying out periodic reviews, the government ensures that critical projects deliver on their intended objectives and positively impact the lives of Kenyans.
During the visit, the delegation engaged with institutional leadership, inspected ongoing projects, and gathered feedback on challenges affecting the implementation process. Key issues such as funding gaps, interagency coordination, timelines, and capacity constraints were highlighted, with stakeholders collaboratively working to identify realistic, actionable solutions.
The overarching goal of this verification exercise is to strengthen the delivery of public services by addressing bottlenecks early, enhancing inter-ministerial cooperation, and ensuring that government investments yield maximum impact. This approach is critical to accelerating Kenya’s economic transformation and meeting national development goals.
In addition to showcasing the Eldoret National Polytechnic’s role in supporting technical and vocational training, the visit also reinforced the institution’s importance in Kenya’s broader education and skills development agenda. The Polytechnic continues to produce skilled graduates who are essential to driving innovation and growth in key sectors of the economy.
As a hub of learning and innovation in the North Rift region, Eldoret National Polytechnic is honored to support the government’s development priorities. The institution remains committed to excellence, collaboration, and contributing meaningfully to the socio-economic transformation of Kenya.
This visit serves as a reminder of the power of partnerships between institutions of learning and government agencies in shaping a stronger, more resilient future for all Kenyans.
