The official launch of the Training Needs Assessment (TNA) Guidelines for Public Service 2025 took place at the Kenya School of Government (KSG), marking a major step toward strengthening human capital development across the public service.

The Guidelines introduce a standardized and credible framework for conducting institution-wide training needs assessments, ensuring that training interventions are targeted, strategic, and aligned with real performance gaps rather than assumptions.

The framework further embeds monitoring, evaluation, reporting to the Public Service Commission, and periodic reviews, ensuring that training programs remain responsive to evolving public service needs, emerging skills gaps, and national performance priorities

In her keynote address, Principal Secretary, State Department of Public Service and Human Capital Development Dr. Jane Kere Imbunya challenged stakeholders to see human capital development as the engine that will drive Kenya’s transformation.

Dr. Tom Wanyama, KSG Senior Director Finance and Administration (SDFA) delivered remarks on behalf of the Director General, recalling the long-standing association between the State Department of Public Service and the School. He went on to reaffirm the institution’s role as the home of capacity development for the public service.

KSG will support implementation of the Guidelines together with the State Department and all public institutions, as  it continues to review its programs to ensure they respond to emerging training needs and  build a competent, and adaptive public workforce.
