A virtual dialogue that will bring together young people, civil society actors, and governance stakeholders to reflect on the state of devolution in Kenya. The session, themed “What Is Failing: Devolution or the Governors?”, will examine the gains and challenges of devolution since 2013, with a focus on accountability, corruption, public service delivery, and citizen participation. Participants will explore whether current governance failures stem from system gaps or leadership shortcomings, and propose solutions to strengthen transparency, fiscal openness, and public oversight. The event aims to promote informed civic engagement and youth participation in strengthening county governance.

15 Years of the Open Government Partnership

OGP Logo

Fifteen years ago, OGP launched with a simple but radical premise: that government should serve the people, not the other way around. Over fifteen years, OGP has become the foremost global forum for advancing transparency, accountability, and public participation in government.

In an era of democratic regression and geopolitical fragmentation, platforms that sustain targeted collaborations among likeminded states and between governments and civil society are strategically vital. OGP is one of the few to endure.

The next phase requires action across the partnership: Governments forming cross-border coalitions to address common priorities; political leaders integrating openness into core national agendas; donors and funders sustaining investment and enabling scale; civil society continuing to propose, push, monitor, and demand.

The question ahead is scale and commitment.
