Turning promises into progress.
The Government Delivery Unit coordinates, tracks and communicates the delivery of Kenya's national development priorities — driven by data, grounded in evidence, and centered on citizens.
From a promise to proof, in four steps
GDU follows every national priority project from commitment to completion. The figures below are live: they come from the Delivery Information System and GDU's published field reports.
Monitor
Every project is recorded in the Delivery Information System with its agency, location, budget, timeline and stage, and kept up to date as work moves.
