County managers, government agencies, and vendors of revenue information systems will converge at the conference to discuss solutions for county revenue collection.
Safaricom is a proud sponsor of the two-day Own Source Revenue (OSR) Growth Conference 2024, scheduled to take place from June 19th to 20th at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies.
The conference, themed “OSR Growth Strategies for Counties,” aims to tackle the pressing challenge of ineffective revenue collection and management by counties. Focusing on optimisation and efficiency through automation, the event will feature key partners and participants, including the Commission of Revenue Allocation, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, the County Pension Fund, and the Council of Governors.
As a technology partner committed to fostering the digitisation and growth of counties, Safaricom will highlight its innovative solutions and continuous efforts to democratise access to services for Kenyan citizens, ultimately improving their lives. The Integrated County Revenue Management System (ICRMS) is designed to automate and streamline revenue collection and management, ensuring efficiency and optimisation.
“Safaricom is dedicated to supporting counties in achieving effective revenue management through our cutting-edge technology solutions,” said Cynthia Kropac, Chief Enterprise Business Officer, Safaricom, “Our sponsorship of the OSR Growth Conference underscores our commitment to innovation and our role as a catalyst for progress in the public sector. We are proud to contribute to the growth and development of Kenyan counties by providing tools that enhance transparency, accountability, and revenue generation.”
The ICRMS has already been successfully implemented in Kisumu County, where it has transformed the revenue collection process, resulting in significant improvements in management and efficiency. This case study will be showcased at the conference, demonstrating the tangible benefits of adopting automated systems for revenue management.
Safaricom is poised to leverage this platform to engage with key stakeholders, including county and national government officials, industry experts, entrepreneurs, development partners, and representatives from various sectors. Through our participation, we aim to reaffirm our position as a leader in the technology space and a trusted partner in the public sector.
