About the portal

A single record of how government serves.

Service Delivery Standards set out what a citizen should be able to expect from a public service. This portal is where the Ministry of Public Service records whether those standards are being met, vote by vote and sector by sector.

What is inspected

Nine service areas

Standards are published per sector. Each vote is inspected against the standards for the sectors it delivers.

  • Education
  • Health
  • Water and Environment
  • Lands, Housing and Urban Development
  • Works and Transport
  • Production and Marketing
  • Trade and Industry
  • Social Development
  • Public Administration and Management

How work is organised

Votes, departments and periods

The vote

The budget entity being inspected: a Ministry, Department or Agency, or a Local Government. Every officer, department and finding belongs to one.

The department

Sits inside a vote and answers for one sector, which is the level at which standards are actually assessed.

The period

Inspection rounds run inside a financial year, so findings can be compared against the same window in earlier years.

  1. Vote
  2. Region
  3. District
  4. County
  5. Sub-county
  6. Parish
  7. Village

A standard is set for a vote and followed all the way down. The location register is seeded to village level, so a finding can be pinned to the exact place it was recorded rather than to a district average.

Who uses it

Six roles

Accounts are issued by administrators, not self-registered. Each role sees only what it needs.

Field Inspector
Travels to service delivery points and records what was found there.
Vote Head

Vote Admin
Runs one vote: its officers and its departments.
HQ Admin
Maintains the national reference data and inspection calendar.
System Admin
Holds every permission, including roles and system settings.

Getting access

Ask your vote administrator

If you inspect, review or report on service delivery and have no account yet, your vote administrator can issue one. For anything the portal cannot answer, write to the Ministry of Public Service.
