This document includes studies about public participation in Kenya. Since elections are infrequent events, other mechanisms of accountability have been designed to hold elected officials (and staff) accountable, which fall into the broad rubric of citizen engagement. These mechanisms include citizen feedback for services (report cards and audits), participatory budgeting and planning, citizen's access to information, among others. Three case-studies were proposed that look at how citizen's participation is working on the ground at the county level, focusing on the challenges that affect meaningful citizen engagement. Two of the studies focus on how citizens engage in the infrastructure and health sectors, and the third examines how information is shared and how a particular context, in turn, affects whether citizen engage or not.
