Details

In the recent power wrangles between the Senate and the Members of the Kenya Parliament, the citizens are left in a state of confusion as to which authority they have to listen to between the Constitution 2010 and the National Assembly. Citizens are called upon to monitor and evaluate their elected leaders but the public position is being over ridden by the activities in the two levels of representation. The citizen should first establish their roles and how to engage each other in enforcing their civic duties.

By looking at a range of non-profit organizations, foundations, faith-based organizations, community groups and corporations, participants will discuss best practices for volunteer recruitment, retention and management. Participants will examine how volunteers of all backgrounds and ages, especially young people, are inspired to help foster a culture of service and civic responsibility. The forum will also look at the growth of social entrepreneurship in the county and the impact of technology, particularly social networking in developing new avenues for civic engagement and participation.
