GOVERNANCE

This program is anchored on the principals of good governance. It is strategic to the delivery of our vision because it is designed to provide citizens with the tools, skills and information necessary to promote good governance in the lowest units of decentralization. It is also progressive and properly aligned with the CoK that seeks to advance good governance through the devolution.

DEMOCRACY

This program is important to our work because we operate in a democratic country where citizens constitutionally hold sovereign power. They delegate that power to elected representatives through an elaborate election process. As such, we believe that if citizens are well aware of the power they hold and have an understanding on how proper application of that power can translate to improvements in their quality of life, they can make better decisions during elections. The expected outcome of this program is quality political leadership where elected leaders are responsive to citizen needs as envisioned Chapter 6 of the CoK. To contribute to this outcome, CTL is implementing interventions around four key components namely:

CTL educates citizens on legal provisions that guide elections including political parties Act 2012 and Election Act 2012. Voter Education is structured to increase citizen awareness on importance of participating in elections, electoral cycle, elective positions and corresponding roles, voting process, qaulities of good leadership and electoral offenses.

CTL helps citizens to exercise sovereign power and use provisions of chapter 6 in the CoK to identify good leaders. As such, CTL builds capacity of citizens to use social vetting as a tool for determining the suitability of aspirants to hold elective position. CTL will work with citizens to design social vetting tools and support them to form social vetting committees. The process will also grant aspirants an opportunity to respond to issues raised by citizens.

CTL advocates for inclusion of youth and women in political party structures. CTL is also working with political party structures and other stakeholders to promote citizen participation in political parties and fairness in party nominations at County Level.

CTL builds the capacity of citizens to monitor performance of their elected officials on the three main issues; i) Delivery of commitments made in their manifestos, ii) Quality of representation iii) participation in legislative debates.
