This study was carried out in March 2017 and used a descriptive research design. The study used quantitative and then qualitative data to draw conclusions. Stratified sampling was used to arrive at a sample of 100 respondents. The causal-effect relationship was determined through use of regression test. The study found that IFMIS had a significant effect on Supply Chain Effectiveness. The effectiveness of the IFMIS could be improved by upgrading control system to protect documents from being attacked by viruses or getting lost, including stronger fraud detection, reporting and a wide application and use of e-purchasing in all county departments.
