KcK addresses the problem of governments in East Africa not respecting their constitutions, which leads to gross human rights violations, marginalisation, oppression, civil strife and coups. As a think tank, KcK provides critical and up to date information to East Africans on constitutionalism, good governance and democratic development. For example, KcK's fact-finding missionsprovide information and give prominence to critical constitutional, governance and democratic issues peculiar to specific countries and the region.


Her Annual State of Constitutionalism Project that audits the constitutional and governance landscape in the region is a useful source of information on the progress, challenges and prospects in the area. KcK's work aims to empower East Africans to hold their governments answerable in order to influence the way they are governed so that there is ultimately a respectful relationship between the leaders and the led.

KNOW YOUR LAND RIGHTS

Outubro, 2015
Quênia

The promulgation of the Kenyan Constitution 2010 brought into place concerns about the urgency for land reform. Land reforms hold the key to solving some of Kenya’s greatest challenges such as landlessness, community cohesion, food security and sustainable development. Land reforms lie at the heart of the work of the National Land Commission (NLC) and Kituo cha Sheria and they are also at the heart of many Kenyan communities who live, work and rely on land. Information contained in the book goes a long way in educating these communities about their land rights.
