What We Do

Research conducted on Review of Solid waste Management and Sanitation in Nairobi County: Case Study Kibra Sub County. Some of the findings of the study is Solid waste management in Kibra Sub County has been organized in three different ways; individuals selected by the County, community groups (Community Based Organisations) and private companies. The individuals selected by county work mainly on the tarmac roads, the Community based organisations collect from different households at a fee of Kenya shillings 20, and private companies are sub contracted by the county government to collect garbage from holding points only. Despite the efforts to collect and dispose solid waste, Kibra Sub County still is not clean and residents remain exposed to diseases such as malaria, cholera and dysentery and air pollution. 

Research study on Local Government Property Tax Administration and Collaboration with Central Government was to evaluate how much local government collect from property tax, its collaboration with national government and identify the challenges and make recommendations.

In capacity development work done through Peer to Peer (P2P) Learning Initiatives among county governments focused on promoting exchange in knowledge, skills and information that would enable them to enhance their fiscal capacities and Own Source Revenues (OSRs). The Peer to Peer Learning process entailed formation of learning alliances that focused on performance contracts, automation and legal frameworks for county own source revenue mobilization and administration. The county officials formed collaborative multi-stakeholder groupings that held successive meetings to share information and exchange knowledge based on practice and experience.

Citizen engagement and advocacy work entails awareness creation of citizens in the counties on their rights and responsibilities. This work has focused mostly on budget analysis and budget advocacy and promotion of citizen and community organizations participation in budgeting processes.  The engagement is also sector specific in some areas such as Kibra Sub-County where the groups have focused on allocations in protection of environment and sanitation.
