The Report Card of Devolution

The Devolution Report Card provides a compelling and insightful evaluation of thirteen years of county governments in Kenya. Using objective, evidence-based report cards, the book explores the progress made, the challenges faced, and the gaps between promises and performance at the local level. Through real-life case studies from Nyamira and Kisii counties, it shows how leadership, accountability, and citizen engagement shape development outcomes.
More than just an analysis, this book is a call to citizens, leaders, and institutions to deepen their commitment to transparent governance. It emphasizes that meaningful change happens when people are informed, engaged, and ready to hold their leaders accountable. Ultimately, it invites every Kenyan to participate actively in shaping a more responsive and responsible devolution system for a better future.
