The committee will be fully funded and facilitated by both parties.

The ten commitments under the MoU that the committee will oversee include:

According to the statement, the committee will submit progress reports every two months to the Principals and quarterly updates to a joint UDA–ODM Parliamentary Group. The Parliamentary Group is expected to hold its first meeting on August 18, 2025.

A final, comprehensive report will be published on March 7, 2026, to mark one year since the signing of the MoU.
