Technical Assistance for Government Debt & Infrastructure Finance - Kenya IFT

The goals of this project are to build the Kenyan National Treasury's (KNT's) capacity to oversee and manage state owned enterprises (SOE) investment in critical infrastructure projects, and to attract higher quality investment in the nascent Kenyan public private partnership (PPP) market in support of the country's continued economic growth and development.

Project components will focus on: 1) developing an analytical stress test tool to monitor the financial performance of Kenyan SOEs; 2) transitioning the Public Investment and Portfolio Management Office (PIPM)from outdated, manual analysis of SOE default risk to automated, data-driven analysis through an information management system; 3) building capacity at the PPP Unit to develop high-quality, bankable PPP projects; and 4) promoting investment into the Kenyan PPP market through investor education and outreach.
