The Authority has achieved a “Very Good” rating in the FY 2024/2025 Performance Contract Evaluation, marking a notable improvement from the “Good” score attained in FY 2023/2024.
This milestone reflects the Authority’s continued commitment to service delivery, accountability, and performance excellence in water harvesting and storage development across the country.
At the close of the exercise, the Authority’s Chairperson Dr. Jane Mwikali received the evaluated Performance Contract (PC) results from the Public Service Performance Management and Monitoring Unit, recognizing the improvement. Saying the performance was impressive and urged all teams to adhere to the tenets of service delivery, accountability and performance excellence.
“The dynamic results are a pointer to the steadfastness of the Board, commitment of the management and hardworking spirit by the staff. The spirit of team work exhibited and result-oriented performance could be the long awaited and anticipated transformative journey for the Authority.” Dr. Mwikali.
This comes after the evaluation exercise that was undertaken on 12th November 2025 by the Public Service Performance Management Unit (PSPMU) from the Prime Cabinet Secretary’s office.
The exercise was overseen by the Chairperson of the Board Dr. Jane Mwikali, Director Benjamin Mwololo; Chairperson of the Strategy, Technical, Risk and Business Development Committee and the Ag. Chief Executive Officer Eng. Julius K. Mugun at the Authority’s headquarters in Nairobi.
Dr. Mwikali reiterated that under her leadership, she will ensure alignment with the Government of Kenya’s commitment to accountability and results-based management noting that performance is not only about the numbers but the impact of the projects developed and delivered.
“NWHSA shall continue to strengthen institutional performance for sustainable water resource management and national development. I expect an EXCELLENT score for the institution as the team has always been determined to deliver on-set performance targets.” Dr. Mwikali.
She said that PC is a measuring tool where we gauge the Authority’s performance through various set targets which must be achieved within set timelines to improve service delivery especially in the discharge of the Authority’s mandate.
The evaluators led by Mr. Macharia and Melody Nyongesa encouraged the management noting that all they were supposed to do was performance moderation based on scores given during self-evaluation, as this was an evidence-based exercise.
Also present were the institution’s PC Management Committee, Departmental and Divisional Heads to either provide evidences or guide the process.
