Re: Media invitation to the launch of a baseline survey report on select Kenyan communities

Ndugu Okiya,

Your list of invited dignitaries is skewed and unfair. How come you (or your team) didn't invite Hom MPs for Coast region (Chagamwe & Likoni constituencies) and  Kisumu region (Kisumu Rural & Ugenya constituencies) while you've notable invited those from Starehe and Makadara contingencies or did they decline invitations?

Chris.

This was part of Africa-wide scoping visits to engage stakeholders on social accountability. The purpose of the Kenya scoping visits were:

(i) To identify and discuss on the key development issues (of community's  choice) for monitoring in the communities;

(ii) To explore and identify community platforms and structures that can be used for monitoring;

(iii) To raise awareness on monitoring among the community champions as well as communities at large; 

(iv) To explore what communities require for successful monitoring.

Kenya Public Funds Monitoring Network in conjunction with the African Monitor (a Cape Town, South Africa, based pan African continental organization that works with partners throughout Africa on how development commitments (aid and national budgets) are impacting on the grassroots communities).
