Public Sector Resource Mobilisation Workshop 2026

About the workshop

Closing the gap between mobilising resources and accounting for them

Public institutions across Kenya and the region face mounting fiscal pressure — and most that have invested in resource mobilisation now confront a second-generation challenge.

Institutions mobilise resources without systems to monitor whether those resources deliver value, and without the skills to communicate results credibly to donors, oversight bodies, or the public. Mobilising funds is only half the mandate — demonstrating, measuring, and communicating the results is what sustains and grows an institution's funding base.

The Public Sector Resource Mobilisation Workshop (PSRMW) is KAFP's flagship conference for public sector RM practitioners. This 2nd Edition is a standalone conference, fully accessible whether you're attending for the first time or returning to deepen your practice.
