4) The NTC performs a final evaluation in order to reach consensus among the various stakeholders and ensure coherence with the Programme's objective. The approved proposals are then submitted to the Steering Committee (SC) for approval;

5) The SC approves the financing of projects.

Projects are assigned for implementation to private as well as public institutions through an open and competitive market selection based on Kenyan procurement procedures.
