Abstract
The Kenya Government has implemented the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) since the year 2005 as its sole accounting system. The main purpose of this study was to assess the challenges facing the effective implementation of the IFMIS in the county governments of Kenya. The study specifically focused in establishing the extent to which technological infrastructure and human capital development affects effective implementation of the IFMIS in the county governments of Kenya with a special focus in Nairobi County. This study used descriptive research design. The study was conducted in Nairobi County where it targeted 48 Nairobi county government employees who use IFMIS. The findings established that technological infrastructure affected the IFMIS implementation process moderately whereas human capital development affected the IFMIS implementation process greatly. The findings further established that general rating of level of technological infrastructure capacity and human capital development carried out in the county and was generally low. The study therefore recommended that Government and private institutions should ensure availability of the required up to date technological infrastructure to ensure smooth implementation of technological based innovations. Organizations should invest heavily in capacity building so as to ensure their employees are well equipped with the required skills in order to perform effectively.
