Among the resolutions was the requirement for county governments to develop a framework on Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE), and seek advice from SRC on an affordable package for the management of the function.

The communique also called upon county governments to draw resources from their own revenues to support ECDE.

Further, the resolutions urged SRC to undertake an assessment of health workers with a view to facilitating Collective Bargaining Agreement/Negotiations.

IGRTC, as the secretariat of the Summit, shall oversee the implementation of Summit resolutions, jointly with the national and country governments, and other public service institutions.

Also present was H.E. Rigathi Gachagua, Deputy President, H.E. Musalia Mudavadi, Prime Cabinet Secretary, 47 county governors, among other invited guests from public service institutions.

The Summit is a consultative forum that brings together the national and county governments, as established under Section 8 of the Intergovernmental Relations Act, 2012. As part of its mandate, IGRTC continues to facilitate consultations between the two levels of government through the Summit.
