This initiative has the full support from the highest levels of leadership at both national and county levels of government. Most of the counties have already expressed their readiness to participate in the county reviews that will be pitched at the level of the Governors.

A key output of today’s engagement will be a roadmap outlining dates
within which the reviews will be conducted.
