Kenya, 8 January 2026 – Kenya is taking a big step toward modernizing how it manages debt and donor funds by introducing new digital systems designed to make public finances more transparent and accountable.
Treasury Principal Secretary Dr Chris Kiptoo announced on Thursday that the National Treasury is accelerating the adoption of technology across its departments to reduce bureaucratic delays and enhance monitoring of public funds.
During a briefing at the Public Debt Management Office (PDMO), Dr Kiptoo introduced two digital platforms set to drive the transformation: the Development Partners Management Information System (DPMIS) and the Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS).
“The DPMIS will help us track and coordinate resources from our development partners more efficiently,” Dr. Kiptoo said. He added that the system was developed in-house by the Treasury’s Resource Mobilization Department, showing Kenya’s growing ability to build its own digital solutions.
For years, tracking donor-funded projects and reporting on external debt has been a challenge due to scattered and inconsistent data. The new systems aim to bring all this information together in one place, allowing for real-time updates on how funds are spent. This ensures that loans and grants from international partners are used exactly for their intended projects.
