6.5.3 Cascaded Strategic Planning, Work Planning and
Budgeting
With the Judiciary now much more visible as an actor in the
national budget dialogue, concomitant effort is required
to ensure that any increased resources raised are taken to
where they are most needed – in court stations where justice is
delivered. Bearing this in mind, a process is ongoing to develop
strategic plans at devolved level (see Chapter 5 for details),
and then translate these into annual work plans and budgets.
Through this inclusive, participatory and (for the Judiciary)
innovative process, strategic plans are being finalised for all
court stations in Kenya, while work plans for the current 2012/12
financial year, and the forthcoming 2013/14 financial year have
already been developed.
By the end of this cascading process, all court stations, as well
as directorates, executive and registrar offices, and envisaged
regional structures will all possess medium-term and short-term
plans as a vital tool for implementing the Judiciary Transformation
Framework, while planning and budgeting capacity will have
been developed across the country.
6.5.4 Partnership with the World Bank on the Judicial
Performance Improvement Project
This project was initially launched in 2007 but did not make
any substantial progress due to variety of circumstances.
Since February 2012, significant Judiciary time has been spent
preparing a new JPIP project, which will provide the support in
court administration and case management, training and staff
development, and project management to the tune of US$120
million. Final negotiations on the project were completed at the
end of September 2012, and the project is expected to formally
commence in early 2013.
6.5.5 Partnership with the United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP) on Establishment of a Multi-Donor Basket
Fund to support the Judiciary Transformation Framework
