Nairobi — Over 300 delegates from across Africa converge in Nairobi today for a three-day international conference aimed at enhancing efficiency in the public sector.
The biennial Knowledge Management Africa conference, coming at a time when Kenya is basking in glory after scooping the United Nations Public Service Award, aims to enhance governance and service delivery through the use of knowledge as a fundamental resource in development.
According to Dr G. Odera-Outa, a research and communication advisor at the Ministry of Planning and National Development, the conference will be hosted by the ministry in a joint partnership with the Development Bank of South Africa (DBSA) and the University of Witwatersrand.
"It is bringing together policy makers, development and financial institutions, professionals of all shades, academics and anyone with an interest in how policy influences development," Dr Odera-Outa said in an interview in his Treasury Building office.
