Governance & Advocacy Programs
GOVERNANCE

Building accountable systems, empowering citizens, strengthening democracy

OUR GOVERNANCE WORK

Good governance requires participatory, equitable, inclusive processes engaging young and old, rich and poor, abled and disabled. It demands rule of law, accountability, transparency, effectiveness, and efficiency. K&TRC‘s governance programs strengthen democratic participation: ELBAG (Economic Literacy, Budget, Accountability and Governance) methodology training citizens to engage budgets, NERV tools for civic monitoring, PVA voter education, 18th Birthday Bash activating new voters, women’s participation advocacy, electoral violence prevention, and SBCC/IEC materials promoting patriotic citizenship. Our approach builds citizens who know their rights, understand government processes, and actively shape their governance.
