CEDC Kenya

We’ve joined our partners, @bajeti_hub& @OpenBudgets, for the Kenya Open Budget Survey Debt Accountability Module Webinar—engaging on key issues around debt transparency & oversight in Kenya. Great space for learning, reflection, & strengthening our work on accountability.

#day3 of the PDF is opening critical conversations on Kenya’s fiscal future. Leaders, civil society, and citizens are exploring public debt, revenue choices, and protection of essential services—and how these fiscal decisions shape everyday realities for Kenyans. #FormNiDialogue

the Road to 2027 to today’s dialogues on youth influence, technology, and civic engagement — one thing is clear: As we head into Day 3, the real question remains: Are we ready to turn dialogue into action? #PDF2026 #FormNiDialogue #RoadTo2027 #uraiatrust

Day 2 of #PDF2026 wrapped but the questions remain. 🇰🇪 Earlier today at Uhuru Park, citizens, youth leaders, and policymakers gathered once again to debate ideas shaping Kenya’s democratic future. From yesterday’s Uraia Trust Uchaguzi Conversation: Power, Participation

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐🎊 The energy at Uhuru Park was unmatchable as creativity, curiosity, and powerful reflections filled the air as more Kenyans stepped into our "𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐲" exhibition. From revisiting the governance struggles of the 80s till the present as well as visualizing a future rooted in integrity. We look forward to welcoming you tomorrow for an interactive session on political financing dubbed 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐱? where we will unpack how money shapes political choices and what this means as Kenya approaches the 2027 elections. 🕒: Time: p.m. – p.m. 📍: Venue: 𝐔𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐮 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤, 𝐆𝐮𝐦𝐳𝐨 𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄!! #pdf2026 | #FormNiDialogue | #cometubonge | #PoliticalFinance @CMDKenya @thePDFestival @IEBCKenya @katibainstitute @Pawa254 @UraiaTrust @itsamaddworld

Day 2 of the People PDF 2026 spotlighted youth leadership during the #FromIdeastoYouthInfluence session led by Manifesto Yetu. Young people reflected on how the Youth Manifesto can shape policy conversations and influence Kenya’s political agenda 2027 elections. #FormNiDialogue

Dialogue between leaders and citizens is essential for a thriving democracy. At the PDF 2026 day 2, political leaders joined citizens, youth & CSOs in open conversations on governance, elections& the road to 2027. #FormNiDialogue #PDF2026 #CitizenDialogue #Democracy

Day 1 of the 8th Edition of the @thePDFestival is officially in the books! 🇰🇪 We transformed Uhuru Park into a powerhouse of conversation, proving that dialogue is the true path to a sustainable future. Relive the energy and the faces that made the opening day a hit🧵

Day 1 at the People Dialogue Festival 2026 is done 🇰🇪✨ At a time when democratic values are being tested, spaces for open dialogue like this matter more than ever. Kenya stands at a pivotal moment, and conversations that bring citizens, leaders, and institutions together are key to shaping a more accountable and inclusive future. We’re excited to be part of the conversation and to connect with everyone attending. Pass by our tent and say hi! We’ll be here through Friday, and you can also catch us during our panel discussions over the next few days. If you missed us today, come through tomorrow, we’d love to see you. 👀 #PDF2026 #FormNiDialogue

Glad to be part of these crucial conversations.

The session further provided a platform to co-create innovative civic engagement strategies, anchored in partnership between election management bodies, civil society organizations, youth-led movements, academia, and political actors. Through keynote reflections, panel discussions, interactive feedback, and a rapid commitment round, stakeholders articulated reform priorities and the need for time-bound institutional actions. As Kenya moves closer to 2027, the message from the festival was clear. Electoral integrity will depend not only on institutional reform, but on restoring public trust, strengthening inclusion, and ensuring that citizens, particularly young people, see their voice and vote as meaningful instruments in shaping the country’s democratic future. #FomNiDialogue #cometubonge #PDF2026 #HakiNaUongoziBora
