  1. The Delivery Unit

The Department of Delivery Unit was formed by H.E, the Governor through his executive powers and wisdom in his second term in office in August 2018. The purpose is to track delivery of services of Mandera County Government by working collaboratively with all departments to fast-track the implementation of key/ high priority projects and all other government services. One of the mandates of the Delivery Unit is to provide monthly/quarterly/ annual reports on programs & services and their value for money. The unit keeps the Governor informed on timely and regular basis on progress of county plans and programs.The Unit independently evaluates progress and reports results to the Governor. Some of the other functions of the Governor’s Delivery Unit include acting as a watchdog and assuring quality while giving advisory services where necessary. The Delivery unit acts as the eyes and ears of the governor. We carry out internal audit covering performance appraisal rather than finances. We emphasize on non-financial reports and timely implementation of projects and plans. The Delivery unit appraises plans and reports formulated by the Economic Planning Department. We also undertake independent evaluation, verify, investigate and serve as a “response unit” to avoid risks.

LEADERSHIP AND STAFFING

The delivery unit is directly under the Governor office and is housed in the same compound of H.E, the Governor. His Excellency, Governor Ali Ibrahim Roba, through his wisdom appointed a 7-member Delivery Unit, headed by Mr. Ahmed Ali Madey, Deputized by Mr. Hassan Hussein Mohamed, 2 Assistant Deputies, Mrs. Zahara Bashir and Mr. Dakane Mohamed and the following 3 coordinators;
