Project management must be embedded more firmly within public sector policy and decision-making frameworks if Kenya is to strengthen government delivery and achieve sustainable development impact.
Speaking during the Government and Public Sector Industry Project Management Conference 2026, which started on Thursday in Nairobi, Head of Government Delivery (HGD) Dr Sitati Olando emphasised the strategic role of project management in translating national priorities into measurable outcomes, calling for stronger collaboration, greater professional influence in policymaking, and more structured approaches to public sector implementation.
“Project management must occupy a stronger place in the public space. If we are to influence policy and deliver meaningful impact, we must be at the decision-making table,” said Olando.
