This Civic Engagement Facilitator's Handbook for Purpose-Driven Civic Education is primary aimed for use by the farmers in Kisii and Nyamira Counties who will be trained as community civic educators in the two counties. The handbook can however be used by the general citizens. The proposed strategy is civic education and information sharing that is aligned with specific citizen engagement interventions or events with emphasis on the potential benefits for participating. It is expected that effective use of the handbook will result to meaningful involvement of the citizens in county policy and legislative processes, planning, budgeting and implementation of the approved development plans and budgets as well as monitoring and evaluation. Effective use of this handbook should contribute to improvement in the level and quality of citizen engagement in county governance. The combination of timely sharing of the information and civic education of the public on their rights and responsibilities should facilitate attitude and behavior change which is critical in promoting public participation in Kenya.

Intented Users: The Civic Engagement Facilitator's Handbook for purpose-driven civic education was primarily developed for use by farmers in Kisii and Nyamira counties who were trained as community civic educators. However, this handbook can be used by CSOs to train citizens, and it can serve as a reference for general citizens.
