Governance

Kenyan CSOs realized that there was a need to inspire and nurture a culture of continuous improvement to deliver superior value to the relevant constituencies. The civil society leaders were convinced that high standards of practice and performance could enable CSOs achieve greater relevance, recognition, and results, and enhance their sustainability. Their efforts led to the ground-breaking Kenya Civil Society Competence and Sustainability Programme (KCS-CSP). KCS-CSP carried out extensive consultations with a broad cross-section of Kenyan civil society and developed a the Civil Society Standards, a Code of Practice and a Self-Assessment Tool.
