NCPD Inaugurates National Research and Evaluation Technical Working Committee.

The National Council for Population and Development today inaugurated the National Research and Evaluation Technical Working Committee, marking a significant milestone in strengthening coordination of population and development research and evaluation initiatives in Kenya.
The committee, officially commissioned by the Acting Director General, Ms. Lucy Kimondo, during a ceremony held at the Chiromo Conference Centre, is expected to play a central role in advancing evidence-based planning and decision-making on population and development issues across the country.
Among its key responsibilities, the committee will enhance coordination of P&D research and evaluation activities, review the National Population and Development Research Agenda, identify and prioritize emerging research needs, promote collaboration among stakeholders, and strengthen institutional capacity for research and evaluation.
The multi-sectoral committee brings together representatives from government ministries, departments and agencies, civil society organizations, development partners, faith-based organizations, academia, and research institutions. This broad membership is expected to foster greater collaboration, knowledge sharing, and alignment of research efforts to support Kenya's development priorities.
Speaking during the inauguration, Ms. @lkimondo1 underscored the importance of research and evaluation in informing policies and programmes that address the country's evolving population dynamics and development challenges. She noted that strengthened coordination among stakeholders would contribute to the generation and utilization of quality evidence for sustainable development.
The committee will operate under the stewardship of NCPD and is expected to convene annual review meetings to assess progress, share findings, and provide strategic guidance on population and development research and evaluation initiatives nationwide.
