ABSTRACT
This paper focused on the impacts of big data and citizen feedback analytics on monitoring, evaluation, and the
performance of the public services in nairobi county, kenya. The study aims and objectives were directed by the
technology acceptance model (tam) and the degree to which it was intended to: (i) investigate the impact of big
data analytics on the evidence-based decision-making; (ii) determine the impact of citizen feedback analytics on
responsiveness and transparency; (iii) establish the role played by digital data integration in enhancing the overall
performance; and (iv) the combined effects of analytics. The research had an important impact on the
development of the field of digital governance and data-driven accountability in developing situations. The
background stated the increasing use of digital governance tools in kenya but continued to point out frequent
problems with integrating data, the use of feedback, and citizen trust. The problem statement highlighted that
despite the investments in digital systems, public institutions are not able to convert analytics into practical
performance insights. The descriptive and correlation design was embraced, which entailed 100 ict, m&e,
administrative, and citizen respondents. The data were collected and analyzed using structured questionnaires
and interviews and analyzed using spss (v.28) and nvivo (v.14). The theoretical model of the perceived
usefulness and ease of use in relation to technology adoption was supported by the empirical literature in kenya,
africa, and international literature. The results showed that both big data (r = 0.781) and analytics citizen
feedback (r = 0.744) had a significant positive impact on service performance. The joint predictors had a total
model explaining performance variance of 65.2 (r2 = 0.652). It was discussed that institutional readiness, digital
literacy and governance culture are the factors of adoption. The paper has come up with the conclusion that
analytics can improve transparency, responsiveness and efficiency. It suggested making digital analytics
institutionalized in m&e policy, enhancing capacity building, enforcing data privacy, and increase citizen
engagement portals as a means of making governance participatory.
Keywords: big data, citizen feedback, monitoring and evaluation, public service performance, technology

BACKGROUND
Big data and citizen feedback analytics has been integrated to form the core of contemporary governance
especially in the area of improving the performance of the public services, responsibility, and responsiveness of
its policies. Governments around the globe are becoming less reactive and more data-driven based on digital
data streams and real-time citizen sentiment to make evidence-based decisions (manoharan et al., 2022). Such
transformation helps the policymakers to make sense of citizen contact patterns, bottlenecks in service, and
respond more suitably. In kenya, e-governance and data analytics have provided new opportunities in enhancing
transparency and service delivery by county and national systems (kimemia, 2022).
It has been found that the use of big data in developing countries, including kenya, is on the rise although it is
limited by poor digital literacy levels and privacy issues (masinde et al., 2025). The current attempts to establish
a national data governance framework in kenya demonstrate growing awareness of the necessity to have secure

and inclusive data practices. Digitization of government services, whether it is through huduma centres or
through open-data portals, has increased efficiency but has not inspired even distribution of citizen feedback
mechanisms (nyongesa, 2023). According to ochieng (2025), feedback on beneficiaries is essential in
harmonizing the county level services with the expectation of the citizens and that contributes to the argument
that responsiveness is one of the main measures of the quality of governance.
Citizen-generated data initiatives have also been encouraged within the context of africa in order to enhance
monitoring of sustainable development goals (sdgs). The kenya national bureau of statistics (knbs) report and
paris21 (2023) illustrate the role played by community data in supplementing official statistics, which makes
them more inclusive and accountable. On the same note, nkomo and koma (2024) discovered that transparency
is enhanced in south africa when citizens engage in citizen-based monitoring done systematically by the
governments, where governments have institutionalized participation feedback mechanisms. The findings
correspond with effoduh (2024), who states that to promote trust and fair practices, the african states need to
entrench human-based and rights-based models in ai and data practices.
In comparative studies of africa, research shows that political will, infrastructure, and user-centered design are
the determinants of the effectiveness of digital feedback systems to enhance governance (researchgate, 2024).
Practical examples learned in asia, through its digital channels to manage citizen complaints, china has
demonstrated how institutionalized online feedback can have a direct effect on the responsiveness of local
government (li & zhang, 2024). Ye et al. (2023) introduced a citizen-feedback analysis framework which shows
that citizens’ satisfaction with the e-government services is mainly based on whether the governments respond
to the feedback and not just collecting it.
Big data and ai are also implemented in europe to advance participatory governance and enhance the decision-
making process in municipalities. Patterns in the open-data initiatives in the eu member states were identified
by lnenicka et al. (2023) which recommended the use of sustainability and interoperability as key success factors.
Digital tools have also been shown to enhance e-participation in the european union through such projects as ask
the public (sprenkamp & kosmidis, 2025). Similarly, vrabie (2025) demonstrated ai-supported image analysis in
support of municipal responsiveness, and lai and beh (2025) revealed that political efficacy is a significant factor
in influencing citizens to engage in the digital governance activities.
On the whole, big data and citizen feedback analytics will become a turning point in the monitoring of the work
of the state services. Still, the differences in regions are still present: european and asian governments show a
developed digital feedback ecosystem, but african situations are often characterized by institutional and
infrastructural limitations. According to wambua (2025), digital transformation is yet to be fruitful but with
unequal and citizen-wise consideration in kenya. The process of bridging these gaps will involve not just
technical investments, but also the policies that institutionalize the idea of feedback use, protect the privacy, and
develop the idea of data literacy. Well integrated, big data and citizen analytics can enhance the legitimacy of
governance, inclusiveness, and adaptive and evidence-based performance of the public service across the world.
Problem Statement
The growing use of digital technologies has changed the way of governance worldwide, but there is still no even
distribution of big data and citizen feedback analytics implementation in overall performance monitoring of the
performance of the public services. The services in kenya have been made more accessible through efforts like
the huduma centres, the county service portals and the e-governance platforms and the feedback mechanisms
remain disjointed and weakly institutionalized (nyongesa, 2023; kimemia, 2022). Government institutions
receive enormous volumes of administrative and citizen generated data, but these datasets are hardly ever
crunched systematically to guide immediate policy action or resource distribution. According to masinde,
mugambi, and muthee (2025) issues about data privacy, inadequate technical capacity, and poor policy settings
still limit effective application of the big data in the public administration.
On the same note, ochieng (2025) believes that counties are increasingly getting interest in beneficiary feedback,
but most cannot use systematic ways of translating the information into service improvements. Knbs and paris21
(2023) also note that citizen-generated data are not used to their full extent, although it has the potential to

supplement official statistics and enhance accountability in the delivery of the services. In africa, feedback
analytics cannot be operationalized due to existing infrastructural gaps, data silos, and ethical issues (effoduh,
2024; nkomo and koma, 2024).
Relative to this, other regions like europe and asia have shown greater adoption of data analytics by their systems
of governance. Research conducted by lnenicka et al. (2023) and ye et al. (2023) indicates that the responsiveness
and transparency of open data frameworks and real-time sentiment analytics of citizens have enhanced trust in
the institutions. Conversely, governments of africa such as kenya tend to use ad hoc, project-oriented initiatives
of data that lack institutionalization over time. As a result, the data availability and the data utility have a critical
gap, which compromises evidence-based governance. This gap has to be filled in order to realize effective,
transparent and citizen-focused systems of the public services in developing countries..
Objectives
To examine how digital data streams and citizen feedback mechanisms influence evidence-based decision-
making in public service delivery.
To assess the role of big data analytics and sentiment analysis in enhancing transparency, accountability, and
responsiveness within government institutions.
To evaluate regional differences in the adoption and effectiveness of data-driven citizen feedback systems across
Kenya, Africa, Europe, and Asia.
Significance of the Study
The research was important as it contributed to the level of knowledge on the improvement of transparency,
accountability, and responsiveness in the delivery of services to citizens using big data and citizen feedback
analytics. It presented the empirical evidence on how the digital data streams reinforced the evidence-based
decision-making process and the implementation of the policies in Kenya and other African settings. The
findings provided information to the policymakers, ICT agencies and the county governments on the strategy of
institutionalizing feedback mechanisms and performance monitoring based on data. On the academic front, the
study contributed to the body of existing knowledge about digital governance, and on the practical front, it
provided the recommendations on the incorporation of analytics into service assessment frameworks to advance
the concept of citizen-centered governance.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Theoretical Review
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)
I have used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) suggested by Davis (1989) as the theoretical basis of the
study. It describes how users get to accept and use new technologies relying on two key perceptions, namely,
perceived usefulness (PU) degree to which an individual views that a system will lead to better performance,
and perceived ease of use (PEOU) degree to which a person views that it will be simple to use the technology.
Within the framework of governance in the public sector, TAM has been extensively used to explain the way in
which public sector employees, institutions, and citizens embrace digital innovations like e-government, big data
analytics, and AI-based feedback systems.
According to the recent literature TAM has been restated to be relevant to public service innovation. Nguyen
and Nguyen (2023) applied the model to evaluate factors in public trust in e-government and determined that
perceived usefulness and ease of use had a strong influence on citizen participation and satisfaction. Equally, a
study on e-government adoption conducted in Kenya in 2025 incorporated TAM and Social Systems Theory,
and their results showed that technology acceptance has a positive impact on service efficiency and citizen
participation in county governments (Effects of e-Government Adoption, 2025). These results highlight the

Page 1276
predictive power of TAM to understand the process of citizen and institutional adoption of the emerging
technologies to improve the accountability and service performance.
Researchers across the globe have also extended TAM to other constructs that are applicable in digital
governance. An example is that TAM was used with dimensions of system quality in Validation of an Integrated
IS Success Model (2022) to measure e-government satisfaction, whereas Unlocking e-Government Adoption
(2024) concluded that perceived utility and ease of use remain the most significant predictors of technology
adoption among public agencies. In Africa, research articles such as The Effect of Awareness on Big Data
Adoption Readiness in Public Sector Auditing in Tanzania (2024) showed that the awareness levels and
perceived usefulness have a direct relationship with the adoption readiness in a data-driven decision making
situation.
TAM also describes management and behavioral preparedness to artificial intelligence and big data in
government agencies. The Technology Adoption in Government Management (2025) study concluded that the
TAM variables were largely able to account for the difference in adoption intentions, whereas the Determinants
of Public Sector Managers intent to adopt Artificial Intelligence Systems (2024) study found the performance
expectancy, in line with the perceived usefulness, to be the primary driver of adoption. Equally, Technology
Adoption Framework for Supreme Audit Institutions (2025) affirmed that TAM combination with organizational
variables enhances forecasting performance in explaining the use of technology by the populace.
TAM in this study offers both behavioral and cognitive perspective to evaluate the perception of big data and
feedback analytics among government officers and people in Kenya to monitor their public services. It assumes
that these systems are adopted when they are seen as useful and convenient, which results in enhanced data-
driven performance management and responsive governance.
Empirical Review
International Innovations Monitoring and Evaluations Systems.
Several global innovations enhancing evidence-based governance are currently involved in the incorporation of
big data, artificial intelligence (AI) and citizen analytics into Monitoring and Evaluations (M&E) systems. In
developed economies, these technologies have transformed M&E into real-time, predictive and participatory
systems; instead of the traditional periodic evaluations. The work by Ongena, Watanabe, and Choi (2023)
revealed that the performance of a government that has high capability with big data analytics has a better
performance due to the responsiveness of decision-making processes. Likewise, the study by Berman,
Gustafsson, and Holmberg (2024) has shown that the Swedish government implemented credible AI systems to
assess employment services in the country to guarantee accountability and transparency in automated
monitoring.
AI and open-data ecosystems are used in Europe to broaden the field of evaluation beyond the standard reporting.
As OECD (2025a, 2025b) pointed out, AI is finding application in the design, delivery, and policy appraisal of
public services, to identify inefficiencies and predict the results of services. In the European Union,
sustainability, interoperability, and inclusivity are prioritized in studies as being part of AI-based M&E
frameworks (Nascimento et al., 2025). This was strengthened by Fischer-Abaigar et al. who created AI-based
decision-making toolkits to combine social, economic, and behavioral data to make governance more responsive
(2023).
In comparison to North America and certain regions of Asia, M&E systems have developed by incorporation of
predictive analytics and citizen data streams. According to Overton and Smith (2022), big data analytics
enhanced the responsiveness and accountability of the U.S. public agencies, by converting the administrative
data into useful insights. According to Yukhno (2022), the same has been discovered in Asian governments
wherein the implementation of big data governance frameworks enhanced transparency and performance
benchmarking. Akuni Augustine (2025) discussed the ethical issues of predictive analytics in M&E, stating that
AI increases accuracy and efficiency, but introduces the problems of bias, privacy, and data protection.

Conversely, the developing areas are still far behind in AI implementation in M&E systems. Egala and Nartey
(2025) noted that technical capacity and institutional rigidity tend to restrict innovation in digital governance in
emerging economies. However, international experience indicates that convergence is being felt towards a
hybrid model that incorporates machine intelligence with citizen produced information to evaluate in real-time.
These comparative advances emphasise a paradigm shift in the world: no longer stagnant, report-based
assessment, but vibrant, data-based, and participatory M&E ecosystems that enhance transparency and
accountability and enhance trust in the world.
Developing Countries Applications.
In the developing world, big data, AI and citizen analytics use to monitor and evaluate (M&E) has provided
some prospective benefits but has also shown structural limitations. These applications are more experimental,
local and unevenly institutionalized, in comparison with the more mature systems in the developed countries.
Chao et al. (2023) demonstrated the use of big data in making decisions about public health- using
epidemiological, mobility, and service use data to make decisions about interventions. Similarly, Otorkpa,
Nweke, and Afolabi (2025) studied the digital health M&E in African contexts and found that mobile health
(mHealth) systems produce data streams that can be used to improve monitoring, but the connection to central
governance systems is weak. These papers are indicative of the fact that developing countries tend to begin with
sectoral pilots, and then extend to cross-sector structures of governance.
A study by Kulal, Kim, and Wang (2024) explored the efficacy of municipal services in urban areas of
developing countries conducted on the AI front showing that AI applications (e.g., predictive scheduling,
anomaly detection) offer chances to optimize the allocation of resources, although the quality of the data and the
influence of algorithms are problematic. Azzahro, Rahman, and Nugroho (2025) investigated the perception of
AI in government services by citizens and concluded that acceptance of AI was strongly linked to the lack of
trust, the perceived fairness, and the history of interactions the social legitimacy of the technology is just as
important as the technical capacity.
Citizen analytics can also include: Smager and Lee (2025) examined the example of how developing context
institutions apply AI to citizen input (complaints, suggestions) to rank their response priority.
In their case, Zhang and Nie (2025) performed field experiments in a developing country environment to
determine the effectiveness of AI-based chatbots in enhancing citizen-government interaction and
responsiveness, and their findings indicate better satisfaction than conventional platforms, albeit, with digital
access limitations.
Relatively, these studies reveal that developing nations are more inclined towards modular, pilot-based and
sector-specific applications (e.g., health, municipal services) as opposed to full scale integrated systems. The
lagging areas are integration, interoperability and governance capacity. An example of Kenya can also be
considered as illustrative, since Masinde, Mugambi, and Muthee (2025) examined the problem of big data and
privacy in Kenya and found that, although the adoption of data is increasing, the threat of weak regulatory
frameworks and public awareness prevents its effective use. This is consistent with general trends: technology
promises to be of benefit yet governance, infrastructure and barriers to trust do not allow full implementation.
Combined, the literature presents a comparative view: developed nations are moving towards integrated, real
time, cross sector M&E systems, whereas developing countries tend to be interested in proof-of-concept pilots.
These pilots are not so successful due to the sophistication of the algorithm but rather because of human factors-
data governance, institutional capacity, trust of the citizens and policies that enable it.
Kenyan / Nairobi County Situation.
Over the past few years, Kenya has moved faster in turning to data-driven provision of its public services yet the
use is still unevenly spread across the counties. According to comparative studies, innovation and structural
barriers on the application of big data, AI, and citizen feedback analytics in Nairobi and other devolved units
will be identified.

Anguche, Kimani, and Ndururi (2024) discovered that the e-government systems in the Nairobi county enhanced
efficiency in the administration but experienced challenges in incorporating citizen feedback in the decision
process. On the same note, Oyoo (2025) noted that digital revenue systems increased effectiveness in the
financial administration of counties but needed a more robust data management infrastructure. Masinde,
Mugambi, and Muthee (2025) furthered that the emerging data ecosystem in Kenya continues to wrestle with
privacy security and a lack of public awareness - matters that hamper citizen confidence in analytics-based
governance.
Proactive institutional responses are represented by government initiatives. The Kenya National Digital Master
Plan (2022-2032) provided the pathway to the usage of big data in the public administration, and the Public
Service Delivery Innovation Baseline Survey (2025) reported the initial successful cases of digitalization but
also mentioned a lack of capacity to perform the performance analytics. KNBS citizen-generated data initiatives
have shown that participatory monitoring could be used to supplement official statistics, but it has not been
integrated into M&E systems.
On the sectoral level Kagwanja et al. (2024) documented that Kenya had better feedback mechanisms in its
health system but they were not used well because of poor data linkages. Myota, Marivate, and Abdulmumin
(2024) discussed multilingual sentiment among Kenyan transport users demonstrating how big data could be
useful in informing people about how their perceptions of the available services could be used to reform urban
services. Mondini et al. (2024), in turn, created the Uchaguzi-2022 data, based on the citizen election reports so
as to track the accountability of transparency--an example of how the real-time feedback can enhance the
democracy.
The development in Nairobi, in comparison to the larger trends in the country, is relatively representative: a high
potential to be innovative but a limited range of governance and infrastructure. Although Kenya is the leader in
the region in terms of open-data and digital governance, its M&E systems remain based on disjointed datasets
and pilot projects. To fill this gap, institutionalizing citizen analytics in county and national evaluation systems
should be employed so that there is continuous improvement in services based on evidence.
Research Gaps
Despite a large body of research on digital transformation and adoption of technology in the context of
governance by the people, there are still research gaps in the literature on how the big data and citizen feedback
analytics can directly affect monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the performance of public services, especially
in developing economies such as Kenya. The literature of the studies on the topic in the majority of the world
(Nguyen and Nguyen, 2023; Unlocking e-Government Adoption, 2024) focused on the general e-government
adoption, disregarding the operationalization of data analytics tools and the insights of the citizen in the day-to-
day monitoring of the services.
Africa Research on awareness and willingness to adopt digital has been conducted in the region (The Effect of
Awareness on Big Data Adoption Readiness in Tanzania, 2024), but very little research has been conducted to
identify how these technologies can improve or enhance service quality or accountability outcomes. The existing
literature on Kenya focuses on e-governance and data infrastructure (Masinde et al., 2025; Anguche et al., 2024)
but seldom addresses the institutionalization of citizen sentiment, data-driven feedback, and real-time analytics
on the county and national-level performance frameworks.
This paper then seals this gap by empirically exploring the role of big data and citizen feedback analytics in
performance monitoring and responsiveness in the Kenyan public sector, where empirical studies are still scarce,
disjointed and mostly descriptive as opposed to analytical.
METHODOLOGY
This chapter offered the research design, the population and sampling methods, the data collection method, the
data analysis method, and the ethical considerations that were used in conducting the research on Big Data and
Citizen Feedback Analytics in Monitoring Public Service Performance. The research was conducted using a
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION (IJRSI)
ISSN No. 2321-2705 | DOI: 10.51244/IJRSI |Volume XII Issue X October 2025
Page 1279
rigorous and evidence-based methodology that was informed by the latest literature of digital governance and
technology acceptance.
Research Design
The research design used in the study was descriptive and correlational research design, which was suitable in
the analysis of the relationship between big data analytics, citizen feedback mechanism and public service
performance. This design enabled the researcher to acquire quantitative and qualitative data to obtain the
perceptions, usage patterns, and the level of institutional adoption of the analytics tools by the public officers
and citizens. Nguyen and Nguyen (2023) and Unlocking e-Government Adoption (2024) indicate that descriptive
designs will be useful in the investigation of the effect of perceived usefulness and ease of use on technology
acceptance in e-government systems. As well, Technology Adoption in Government Management (2025) and
Masinde et al. (2025) asserted that correlational designs play a crucial role in determining the strength of the
relationships between adoption variables in digital governance research.
The design hence enabled systematic evaluation of how the government and citizens of Kenya used the big data
and feedback analytics to enhance monitoring, evaluation and performance management across counties.
Population and Sampling
The population targeted was the public administrators, ICT officers, M&E officers and service users in Nairobi
City County as it has the highest levels of digital innovation and policy relevance. The research aimed at about
1,000 people, out of which, a sample size of 100 respondents was obtained using stratified random sampling.
Stratification was used to guarantee that the different departments of the county were represented and
randomization contributed to the reduction of bias and also enhanced external validity.
This methodology was similar to those applied by Anguche, Kimani, and Ndururi (2024) in the e-government
analysis in Nairobi and by Oyoo (2025) in studying the use of ICT in revenue systems. In The Effect of
Awareness on Big Data Adoption Readiness in Tanzania (2024) and Technology Adoption Framework for
Supreme Audit Institutions (2025), both of which place importance on representativeness in research on the
adoption of technology in the public sector, similar sampling reasoning was used.
The sample was large enough to have the statistical power to test the relationships between the big data usage,
analytics of citizen feedback, and the service performance outcomes.

METHOD OF DATA COLLECTION
There were the structured questionnaires and key informant interviews, which were used to collect data. The
quantitative data on the perceptions of respondents of the big data tools, citizen feedback mechanisms, and their
effects on the performance of the services was obtained through the questionnaires, and the qualitative data on
the experience of the institutions and policy-related issues were gathered in the interviews.

The methodology was in line with the recommendation of nguyen and nguyen (2023) and effects of e-
government adoption (2025): mixed-methods approaches to research the issue of technology acceptance in
governmental organizations. Moreover, the article by validation of an integrated is success model (2022) and
unlocking e-government adoption (2024) showed that the combination of structured and open-ended scales
provided a more versatile insight into the degree of perceived usefulness, ease of use, and system satisfaction.
Prior to data collection, ten officers were piloted to ensure the clarity/reliability. Policy documents, including
the kenya national digital master plan (2022-2032) and the public service delivery innovation baseline survey
(2025) were also incorporated to provide context to the study by incorporating secondary data.
Face-to-face and electronic data were gathered through secure online forms to increase inclusivity and accuracy
to gather primary data. This method indicated the international best practices in the field of digital governance
(masinde et al., 2025; technology adoption in government management, 2025), which guaranteed reliability and
validity to the data-gathering procedure.
Data Analysis
Quantitative data were cleaned, coded and analyzed in statistical package of social sciences (spss) version 28,
and nvivo 14, respectively. Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) were used to describe the
characteristics of the respondents and inferential statistics (correlation and regression) tested the hypothesized
relationships between the big data analytics, citizen feedback and the performance of the public services.
This analytical model aligned with the previous studies that employed tam constructs in the context of
governance ( validation of an integrated is success model, 2022; predicting the acceptance of e-government,
2022). Regression modeling in this paper reflected similar methods in the effect of awareness on big data
adoption readiness in tanzania (2024) and technology adoption framework for supreme audit institutions (2025),
which measured the impact of perceived usefulness and ease of use on the use of technology.
The qualitative data were processed using content coding which was used to find emerging themes regarding
system usability, feedback responsiveness as well as the use of data. The triangulation of the two datasets
provided strong interpretation, reliability, and policy relevance of the findings.
Ethical Considerations
There were ethical standards that were strictly followed during the study. Relevant county authorities and
institutional review boards were consulted to provide permission in carrying out the research. The purpose of
the study was explained to the participants, they were assured of the confidentiality of the information, and they
were told that the study was voluntary and they could pull out at any point. Information was anonymized and
kept in a secure place according to kenya data protection act (2019) and global ethical standards.
Such a solution followed the principles of ethics that nguyen and nguyen (2023) and masinde et al. (2025) have
described as essential in technology-driven research: both of them have included the importance of privacy and
data management. On the same note, technology adoption in government management (2025) and effects of e-
government adoption (2025) also highlighted that ethical compliance is beneficial to improve data integrity and
trust of the participants in digital governance research.
The researcher was objective, transparent and showed respect to all the participants, which upheld both academic
and professional ethical standards of the study.

DISCUSSION AND FINDINGS.
The chapter provides the results of the study on the big data and citizen feedback analytics in monitoring public
service performance which are analyzed. The results are structured based on demographics, objectives of the
study and statistical analysis. Finding were interpreted with reference to empirical evidence and technology
acceptance model (tam) based on which the study was given.
Demographic Characteristics of Respondents
The participants included in the study included 100 participants who were sampled in the ict and monitoring and
evaluation departments, as well as administrative departments of nairobi city county and the representatives of
the citizens. The findings showed that the gender was evenly represented with 56 percent male and 44 percent
female. Regarding age, 42 percent were between 30-39, 36 percent between 40-49 and 22 percent older than 50
years. In terms of professional positions, 30% of them were ict officers, 25% m&e officers, 20% administrators,
and 25% citizen representatives. This variety gave both the service providers and users the representation, which
contributed to the increased generalizability.

FINDINGS BY OBJECTIVE
Influence of Big Data Analytics on Evidence-Based Decision-Making in Public Service Performance.
The results showed that 78 percent of the respondents said that big data analytics enhanced the accuracy of
monitoring and timeliness of decisions. The result of the regression analysis indicated that there was a strong
positive correlation between big data analytics and performance measures (r = 0.781, p < 0.01). These findings
are in line with those of Nguyen and Nguyen (2023) and Ongena et al. (2023) who inferred that the perceived
usefulness of analytics enhances the quality of the decision. The findings support the fundamental hypotheses of

Citizen Feedback Analytics on Responsiveness and Transparency in Governance.
Most respondents (82) thought the feedback systems enhanced accountability and responsiveness. The results of
the correlation analysis (r = 0.744, p < 0.01) showed that citizen feedback analytics and transparency outcomes
are strongly associated. These results can be related to Smager and Lee (2025) and Zhang and Nie (2025), who
discovered that AI-based citizen analytics led to a higher level of engagement. In TAM, high perceived
usefulness of feedback systems is a reason behind more adoption among citizens and administrators.

Digital Data Integration in Strengthening Monitoring and Evaluation
Approximately 75 percent of the respondents affirmed that data integration was done digitally and made M&E
reporting easier and less duplicated. The correlation scores (r = 0.702, p < 0.01) showed that there is a strong
correlation between integration and M&E efficiency. The results are similar to those of Otorkpa et al. (2025)
and Hossin (2023), who reported some of the same enhancements in the digital health systems of developing
countries. This can be interpreted in terms of TAM, that is, the easier the data systems are to use and
interoperable, the more the institutions are likely to adopt the systems and improve their performance results.

Statistical Analysis
Correlation Analysis (100 Words)
The Pearson correlation analysis was used to measure the direction and strength of relationships between
variables. Findings showed that there were positive significant correlations between big data analytics (r =
0.781), citizen feedback analytics (r = 0.744) and public service performance, all of them at the significance
threshold of p = 0.01. These results justify the empirical results of Ye et al. (2023) and Ochieng (2025) who
reported comparable relations between technology-based participation and the results of governance. These
strong correlations imply that efficiency, responsiveness, and accountability in the framework of the delivery of
public services is encouraged in the context of the integration of digital systems.

Model Summary
The regression model provided a summary of the combined effect of big data on performance and citizen
feedback. The R = 0.808 was a strong multiple correlation, and R2 = 0.652 was strong that is, the predictors
accounted 65.2 percent of service performance. These details are reminiscent of Lnenicka et al. (2023) and
Vrabie (2025) that also discovered equal explanatory power of AI and data analytics in the models of the public
sector. The level of significance (p < 0.001) of the model confirmed its strength that, indeed, there is a significant
predictive value of integrated analytics on performance improvement in the digital governance setting of Kenya.

ANOVA
ANOVA test was done to test overall model significance. The outcomes (F = 71.24, p < 0.001) proved that the
combination of big data and feedback analytics statistically significantly affected the performance of the public
service. This correlates with the work by Berman et al. (2024) and Egala and Nartey (2025) who found out that
AI and data-driven interventions can considerably increase efficiency and accountability. The high F-value
indicates that digital analytics do significantly affect the variance in the indicators of the performance, and
empirical data and the theoretical assumption of TAM that technology is useful in enhancing the results in
operations are both supported.

Coefficients (100 Words)
The regression coefficients showed that the two predictors, that is, big data analytics (b = 0.432, p < 0.001) and
citizen feedback analytics (b = 0.384, p < 0.001) had significant positive influences on the performance of the
public services. The standardized coefficients mean that the performance of one unit higher in either of the
predictors raises the performance by about 0.4 units, all other factors remaining the same. These results are in
line with Akuni Augustine (2025) and Nguyen and Nguyen (2023) who established that perceived usefulness
and the ease of use are a strong predictor of adoption and efficiency. The model substantiates the assumption of
TAM that the benefits of technologies are explained by the fact that they are perceived by users as manageable
and beneficial.

Statistical Findings Interpretation.
The findings are all indicative of the fact that big data analytics and citizen feedback analytics have a profound
impact on the performance of the nairobi county on the issue of the public service. The positive correlations and
the high regression results prove that digital analytics improve decision accuracy, transparency, and
responsiveness-the results that are not different in masinde et al. (2025), anguche et al. (2024), and nguyen and
nguyen (2023). These results are empirically consistent with the evidence of the global community (ongena et
al., 2023; ye et al., 2023) associating the analytics capacity with the quality of governance.
In theory, the findings confirm the technology acceptance model that demonstrates that as systems are considered
useful and easy to operate, adoption goes up and performance is enhanced. The public service in kenya therefore
indicates the behavioral premise of tam, whereby the use of data will not be effective only due to the capacity of
the system, but also due to the acceptance of the system and its perceived value to the user. The results suggest
that transparency, accountability, and citizen-oriented governance can be reinforced greatly upon
institutionalizing the analytics-driven m&e systems.
DISCUSSION
This chapter analyses the study findings with reference to the objectives formulated, literature at hand and the
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). It further relates the findings to previous studies in Africa and otherwise,
and ends with implications on governance and monitoring frameworks and practices.
5.1 Results Discussion with Relation to Objectives.
The research problem was to discuss the role of Big Data and Citizen Feedback Analytics in Monitoring and
Evaluation (M&E) and service performance in Nairobi County. The results indicate a significant positive
relationship between digital analytics, engagement of citizens and efficiency of the public sector. In particular,
big data analytics (r = 0.781) and citizen feedback analytics (r = 0.744) have a significant positive effect on better
service performance. The findings highlight the need to use data-driven systems in contemporary governance.
Objective One: The big data analytics were used to promote evidence-based decision-making to improve the
accuracy of performance reporting and the time lag. This is consistent with Nguyen and Nguyen (2023) who
emphasized the role of perceived usefulness when adopting a technology.
Objective Two: The citizen feedback analytics increased the level of transparency and responsiveness through
the increased communication between the citizens and the administrators. Smager and Lee (2025) have
supported this and concluded that sentiment analysis within feedback systems enhances increased interaction.
Goal Three: Digital integration, due to the improved reporting systems, minimized duplication and linked
performance metrics among departments. Otorkpa et al. (2025) and Hossin (2023) were experiencing similar
results when it comes to digital health and policy evaluation systems.
Objective Four: The model of big data and feedback analytics explained 65.2% of the variance in service
performance (R2 = 0.652), which supports the assumption of the TAM that usage of technology based on the
idea of usefulness drives organizational improvement.
5.2 Objections to Compare with Other Studies.
The Nairobi County results are in line with the current trends of developing regions. Such digital governance
initiatives have been the result of the National Digital Transformation Strategy (2023-2027) in Uganda. As
Mugerwa and Namusoke (2024) observed, e-citizen platforms helped increase transparency, although they had
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION (IJRSI)
ISSN No. 2321-2705 | DOI: 10.51244/IJRSI |Volume XII Issue X October 2025
Page 1285
certain difficulties associated with user data literacy. Similarly, Uganda, so is the case in Nairobi, adoption
occurred based on the perceived usefulness and trust in digital systems, which validates the predictive validity
of the TAM.
The results in Kenya are reflective of the trends in other regions. Poor infrastructure and privacy challenges are
some of the problems that affect digital systems that have so much potential in East Africa. Indicatively, Oyoo
(2025) observed that in Kenya, ICT-based revenue administration models improved transparency, but did not
have firm regulatory systems.
Countries that have well-established digital systems, including Sweden and China, have already adopted AI and
real-time feedback loops to enhance governance in the world. Nonetheless, the practice of digital governance
has been encouraging in Kenya but it is at the stage of transitioning to data-driven systems as opposed to manual.
5.3 Governance and M&E Implications.
The research must have a massive impact on governance and M&E in Kenya and the rest of the world. Digital
analytics must be regarded as a foundation of good governance, which will give feedback in real time, increase
transparency, and reduce bureaucratic delays. According to the idea offered by Nguyen and Nguyen (2023),
evidence-based decision-making contributes to the increase of accountability, which is crucial in enhancing the
public service delivery.
The digital integration in M&E has been found to make it easier to collect and report data on time and track
performance, which are mentioned by Otorkpa et al. (2025). Big data leveraged with feedback analytics are
synergistic and lead to adaptive management, which allows improved decision-making.
Institutionally, new technologies need training and user support to adopt new technologies. The compliance with
the Data Protection Act (2019) is a significant measure that could help to establish the trust of people in digital
systems of governance. Also, the incorporation of analytics dashboards in performance contracts will result in
higher accountability and responsiveness at all levels of governance.
5.4 Theoretical Contribution
This paper builds on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by extending it to the analytics and citizen
feedback systems in the public sector of developing nations. The results support the idea that the perceived
usefulness and convenience of use are the major factors that determine the use of digital systems. The new
dimensions presented in the research include privacy, interoperability and trust and these aspects were not
comprehensively reflected in the original TAM model. This research opens a path to further studies that might
examine the behavioral attitudes that motivate the adoption of digital in the governance environment.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
This chapter briefly outlines the main findings and offers practical and research-grounded guidelines in
improving the incorporation of big data and citizen feedback analytics in the monitoring of the public services.
6.1 Key Findings
It was established that big data analytics (r = 0.781) and citizen feedback analytics (r = 0.744) have a significant
positive impact on the decision-making process, responsiveness, and transparency in the Nairobi County. The
regression analysis identified that a combination of these analytics explained 65.2 percent of the difference in
the service performance (R2 = 0.652). The findings are in agreement with the past research and confirm the
relevance of data-driven governance in enhancing the performance of the public sector.
6.2 Recommendations for Policy
Digitally Analytical Frameworks: big data and citizen feedback analytics should be institutionalized at the
national and county government as a component of policy formulation and M&E infrastructure.
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH AND SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION (IJRSI)
ISSN No. 2321-2705 | DOI: 10.51244/IJRSI |Volume XII Issue X October 2025
Page 1286
Information Protection: Enhance the procedures of applying the Data Protection Act (2019) to provide ethical
data usage, privacy and security.
Capacity Development: The development of data literacy and analytical skills requires continuous training of
ICT and M&E officers.
Inter County Cooperation: Promote knowledge transfer and countywide data gathering and data collection
frameworks.
6.3 Practical Recommendations
Citizen Engagement Portals: Provide multilingual and real-time feedback services, which are easy to use and
feature sentiment analysis powered by AI.
Performance Dashboards: Introduce analytics dashboard to link the service measures with the citizen response
to enhance the decision-making process.
M&E automation: Automate M&E tools to minimize redundancy and promote the transparency of project
reporting.
Collaborative Ecosystem: Stimulate partnership between government, academic institutions and businesses to
create predictive analytics models to measure citizen satisfaction and performance monitoring.
6.4 Future Research Directions
The next study should be dedicated to the longitudinal effects of the big data and citizen feedback analytics on
the performance of the public services. Besides, the behavioral dimensions including trust, digital literacy, and
cultural attitudes will be studied; thus, giving more understanding of technology acceptance. Comparison of the
digital adoption in the countries of East Africa will also provide regional insights.
