Pasha Information Project II

With funding support from Forum Syd under Wajibu Wetu II, seeks to have right holders increasing demand for duty bearers’ responsiveness in 7 sub-counties in Kisumu County for an enabling environment for public participation at county and national government levels for a period of 18 months from 1^st January 2019 to 30^th August 2020. While all the County Governments have their County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) in place with clear objectives; implementation plan with clear outcomes; provisions for monitoring and evaluation; and clear reporting mechanisms, as provided for under section 108 of the County Governments Act, 2012, Kisumu County is yet to fully comply with Section 109 that has provisions on sectoral plans. Inclusion of the specific issues and needs that concern the youthful population can be best demonstrated in the various sectoral plans. Gaps in the planning documents affect the preparation of budget documents and ultimately contribute to minimal resource allocation to priority needs for the youth. The projects approach is to empower and build capacities of 35 youth groups with the relevant skills to actively engage communities and leaders to participate in legislative processes, public planning, budgeting, implementation and monitoring county government performance. The project will be characterized by the use of arts and a youth model assembly as a form of civic engagement to spark civic participation in addition to the utilization of media engagement events and dissemination of project information education and communication materials. During Wajibu Wetu phase 1, KPY through Pasha “Information” Project I, learnt the essence of supporting inclusive and accountable governance processes. This project therefore seeks to mobilize youths for meaningful engagement in dialogues with various administrative and legislative leadership that will shape positive engagement.
