He described the GDU as a bridge between leadership and residents, tackling challenges and delivering solutions. Ereng highlighted key achievements, including enhanced service efficiency, effective crisis management, and improved collaboration between advisors and delivery teams.
Legal Frameworks and Advisory Roles

Peter Mudogo commended the session, stating, “Advisory councils play a critical role in providing strategic guidance to county governments. This session has been insightful and will greatly influence our approach in Bungoma.”
Cross-County Collaboration in Action
