Justifying Meaningful Engagement And Inclusion Of Young People In Political Processes.

More transparency, better accountability, and greater responsiveness to the youth demographic are elements young Kenyans yearn for. The Kenyan government is beginning to respond to these demands. To encourage more civic engagement by younger citizens, the government is taking measures through the World Bank's Kenya Accountable Devolution Program (KADP) to incorporate public participatory budgeting into their budget decision-making process. The 2007 general elections highlighted Kenya's failure to engage its youth constituency effectively in political, governance, and electoral processes. Building trust between young people and democratic institutions is critical as young people make up a substantive part of the overall Kenyan population.

The Huduma Bill 2021 was in Parliament for its 2nd reading. The Huduma Bill proposed the largest set of changes to the legal framework governing Kenya’s identification system since before independence. If enacted, the Huduma Bill would become the single law anchoring birth and death registration, issuing identity cards, issuing passports, and governance of the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS). The draft legislation, system design, and all other decision points around the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS) must be considered very carefully, comprehensively, and transparently.

The Okoa Uchumi Campaign Citizen's Manifesto For Elections 2022 | Public Debt Accountability For Economic Justice.

The Okoa Uchumi Campaign is a civil society initiative committed to the goal of accountability in Kenya's public debt management. The dire state informs the campaign of debt management, which has been marred by opacity in decision making, mismanagement of debt expenditures, and flagrant violations of public finance requirements, which have contributed to the present economic crisis and a debt trap. The campaign is grounded in our constitutional responsibility to respect, uphold and defend the Constitution of Kenya.

Administration Costs Research Project | Breaking The Starvation Cycle.

The overhead myth that suggests that low overheads in nonprofits are a sign of efficiency has led to many donors underfunding the associated administration costs of their project grants and driven a vicious 'starvation cycle.' Through the Administration Costs Research Project, evidence gathered reveals how international donor funding covers the real administration costs of national NGOs. The Funders for Real Cost, Real Change (FRC), a collaborative of private foundations, commissioned this research and sought recommendations on how funders could provide adequate cost coverage and strengthen their grantees' financial health and resilience.
