Amkeni Wakenya – Civil Society Democratic Governance Facility
Amkeni Wakenya is a UNDP led Facility set up to promote democratic governance in Kenya. The name Amkeni Wakenya is inspired by the second stanza of the National Anthem that calls upon all Kenyans to actively participate in nation building.
Amkeni Wakenya primarily works through Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in recognition of the significant role that they play in ensuring that the aspirations of Kenyans are taken into consideration in the democratization process. Amkeni Wakenya supports and strengthens the role of citizens in the deepening of democracy, human rights, access to justice and governance reforms in Kenya.

Amkeni Wakenya's Engagement In Constitution Review Process

As an organisation that seeks to strengthen democratic governance, Amkeni Wakenya will undertake several activities in support of the Constitutional Review Process.
