Kenya: Group Chatting
Since 2010, Kenya took the route of devolved governance which has since been offering governance of the country at two levels; the national and county governments. Devolution has brought services and governance closer to the people but the people still know very little about it. We are taking advantage of the Devolved set up of Counties as our Main Organizing system of our Group Chatting for the people to educate themselves. We will then use the existing Youth, Women and People Living with Disabilities Groups, to start on-line discussions through the web.
