  "summary": "The Nairobi County Government has launched an end-term evaluation of its 2025/2026 Performance Contracts to strengthen accountability and ensure public resources provide tangible benefits to residents. Spearheaded by the Directorate of Performance Management under the Office of the County Secretary, the assessment will review all county departments and sectors to verify reported achievements, identify implementation challenges, and determine if departments met their performance targets and commitments.\n\nAccording to Capital FM Kenya, the evaluation is being coordinated by Festus Macharia and deputy coordinator James Njeru. The team aims to examine the effectiveness of public resource utilization by focusing on measurable results and evidence-based accountability. James Njeru stated that the county is shifting from reporting promises to measuring real-world impact for residents.\n\nFourteen core sectors have already been evaluated, including Digital Economy, Urban Planning, Disaster Management, Mobility and Works, and Health. Capital FM Kenya reports that the evaluation team is expected to proceed to the Finance and Economic Planning Affairs Sector as the process nears completion.",
