Kakamega County is marking one year since joining the OGP Local Cohort, and the momentum is stronger than ever.

From open budgets to public participation, climate action, and access to information, the county has pledged ambitious reforms through its OGP Action Plan (2024–2027).

This December, Network For Research & Governance, Mzalendo, Open Government Partnership (OGP) Kenya and the County Government of Kakamega and Twaweza are convening stakeholders for the Sauti za Wananchi report on Participation, Democracy & Trust, alongside celebrating progress and reflecting on Kakamega’s OGP journey.

Citizen-generated data will anchor the conversations, ensuring citizens’ voices, lived realities, and evidence guide the county’s next phase of open governance.

This year’s 16 Days of Activism is a reminder: Digital spaces must protect, not silence.

Break barriers. Build digital safe spaces.
