One of the functions of the Council of Governors under Section 19 of the Intergovernmental Relations (IGRA) 2012 is to share information on the performance of Counties in execution of their functions with the objective of learning and promotion of best practices. In this regard, the Council established Maarifa Centre in 2017 as a knowledge sharing and learning platform to facilitate and co-ordinate sharing of lessons and experiences from all the 47 Counties.In the same light, one of the pillars of COG Strategic Plan 2017-2022 is Knowledge Driven Performance. The Council will achieve knowledge driven performance through a number of strategies, which include promoting peer learning among Counties.Over the past 4 years since the commencement of the devolved system of governance in 2013, Counties have made substantial progress in delivering investments and services to their citizens including agriculture, primary health care, pre-primary education, urban services, county roads and public works. In the process, Counties have come up with innovative solutions, overcome implementation barriers and instituted new ways to deliver services to Kenyas citizens. The learning forum was premised on the fact that these experiences are valuable, should be captured and shared so that Counties can benefit from each others experiences and solutions.
