About the Digital SIP System

The primary focus of the School Improvement Program (SIP), implemented through the School Grants Intervention under both the Secondary Education Quality Improvement Project (SEEQIP) and the Kenya Primary Education Equity in Learning (KPEEL) Program, is to strengthen school learning conditions to enhance learning outcomes, increase enrollment and retention, and improve the effectiveness of delivering the Competency-Based Education.

Process Flow

The Approval Workflow

A structured multi-stage process ensures that every School Improvement Plan is reviewed, validated, funded, and implemented with clear accountability.

  1. SIP Preparation & Submission
    Head of Institution

    The Head of Institution prepares the School Improvement Plan using the digital system, uploads supporting documents, and submits it for approval.

  2. Review & Approval by SCDE
    Sub-County Director

    The Sub-County Director reviews the SIP for compliance with Ministry policies, assesses the budget, and either approves, rejects, or returns it for revision.

  3. Validation by County Director
    County Director (CDE)

    The County Director validates the SCDE approval, confirms compliance with school priorities, and either forwards or rejects the SIP.

  4. Authorization & Fund Disbursement
    Project Coordination Unit (PCU)

    The PCU/HQ reviews validated SIPs, authorizes fund release, and ensures funds are disbursed to the respective school accounts.

  5. Implementation & Reporting
    Head of Institution / School

    The school implements approved activities and submits detailed implementation and financial reports back into the system.
