KENAS Sets Bold Path with 2025/26 Performance Contract: Driving Quality, Impact, and Growth
Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS) has successfully finalized its Performance Contract (PC) for the Financial Year 2025/2026, reinforcing its role as a key enabler in the country’s national development and industrial transformation agenda.
The contract signing marks a critical milestone in aligning KENAS’s strategic direction with Kenya’s Vision 2030 and Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).
Strategic Leadership Behind the Milestone
This key exercise was spearheaded by the KENAS Board Chair, Mr. ngeny Biwott, Director Lydia Munialo, and CEO Dr. Walter Ongeti, alongside the senior management team. They engaged with officials from the State Department for Industry (SDI) led by Industrialization Secretary, Prof. Erastus Gatebe, and Ministerial Performance Contract Coordinator, Ms. Everlyn Anupi.
Their joint commitment reflects a shared vision: to deliver high-impact, results-driven services that anchor Kenya’s competitiveness in local and global markets.
Performance Contract: More Than a Form
At KENAS, the Performance Contract is not a routine compliance document. It is a powerful results-based tool that:
- Enhances accountability and transparency
- Drives efficiency in service delivery
- Measures institutional performance and sectoral impact
By leveraging this contract, KENAS strengthens its capacity to support conformity assessment bodies (CABs), expand accreditation reach, and improve trust in quality infrastructure systems across the region.
Our Focus for FY 2025/26
As KENAS enters the new financial year, its focus is firmly set on delivering value through:
✅ Advancing Kenya’s National Quality Infrastructure (NQI)
✅ Strengthening international recognition of accredited services
✅ Supporting sectors such as industrialization, health, environment, ICT, and climate resilience
✅ Deepening stakeholder engagement and innovation in accreditation services
Looking Ahead with Purpose
This Performance Contract symbolizes KENAS’s unwavering commitment to excellence. It defines not just what we aim to achieve, but how we intend to do it—with integrity, strategic intent, and measurable outcomes.
“Commitment. Strategy. Impact.”
KENAS is ready to shape the future of accreditation in Kenya and the region.
