In plain language
What this programme is for
The Parish Development Model is a Government service-delivery model centred at parish level. It brings planning, production, infrastructure, financial inclusion, social services and other development functions closer to households.
Parish-level socioeconomic transformation and financial inclusion pathway.
Possible support
What the programme may provide
- Parish-level planning and service coordination
- Production, value-chain and enterprise support pathways
- Financial inclusion through authorised PDM structures where programme rules are met
Who it may serve
Relevance & eligibility context
Households and citizens reached through PDM structures, with specific rules applying to the Financial Inclusion pillar and other interventions.
Important: Eligibility and enterprise rules remain governed by PDM authorities.
How to approach the route
A programme should show you the next steps, not leave you with only a name.
Start with the parish / PDM structures responsible for the household or enterprise.
Confirm which PDM pillar or service is actually relevant to the need.
For financial inclusion, follow the authorised PDM SACCO / programme process and current criteria.
Keep application, approval, disbursement and outcome separate in VORA follow-up.
Before you act
What still needs checking
PDM is broader than a cash payment. Do not describe the whole model as a grant or promise a Parish Revolving Fund payment.
Coverage / implementation: National parish-centred model; the applicable service and local process still need to be confirmed.
Responsible route
Where to start
VORA identifies inclusion/capability evidence and can support referral; VORA does not duplicate PDMIS.
Government system / workflow: PDMIS / authorised PDM structures
VORA's role
Explain the route. Connect the person. Record the follow-up.
VORA provides an inclusion-intelligence lens around PDM; Government programme records remain authoritative.
