Section 3.
Évaluation initiale
des engagements

1 Engagement :

Participation publique et engagement civique

1.1 L'engagement est-il vérifiable ?

Oui

Expliquez brièvement votre réponse :

The Public Participation commitment is verifiable because it is supported by an existing Public Participation Policy that provides a framework for structured engagement between the County Government and citizens. The commitment identifies clear activities related to strengthening citizen engagement, improving participation mechanisms, and creating opportunities for citizens and stakeholders to contribute to county decision-making processes.

Progress can be measured through identifiable deliverables such as the implementation of public participation activities, number of engagement forums conducted, stakeholder participation records, feedback mechanisms established, and reports documenting citizen inputs and government responses.

1.2 Le langage/les activités d'engagement justifient-ils clairement pertinence aux valeurs OGP?

Oui

Expliquez brièvement votre réponse :

The Public Participation commitment is directly aligned with OGP values because it strengthens citizen participation, transparency and accountability in county decision-making processes. Through implementation of the Public Participation Policy, the County Government seeks to create structured mechanisms that enable citizens and stakeholders to participate in the formulation, implementation and monitoring of county programmes, policies and budgets.

The commitment promotes open government by ensuring that citizens have opportunities to provide input, engage with public institutions and influence decisions that affect them. It also improves accountability by creating mechanisms for government to receive, consider and respond to public feedback.

1.3 Veuillez sélectionner une option qui décrit le mieux l'engagement :

une poursuite de la pratique en cours conformément aux législation, politiques ou exigences.

Expliquez brièvement votre réponse :

The Public Participation commitment builds on existing constitutional and legal requirements in Kenya that require public participation in governance and decision-making processes. The County already has a Public Participation Policy and established mechanisms for engaging citizens in county processes.

The OGP commitment strengthens and improves these existing practices by introducing a more structured, transparent and accountable approach to citizen engagement, including improving grassroots participation, stakeholder involvement and feedback mechanisms. Rather than creating an entirely new practice, the commitment seeks to enhance and institutionalize existing public participation processes to make them more meaningful and inclusive.

1.4 Veuillez sélectionner une option qui décrit le mieux l'engagement :

entraînera un changement des règles, pratiques ou politiques qui régissent un domaine politique, le secteur public et/ou les relations entre les citoyens et est contraignante ou institutionnalisée dans l'ensemble du gouvernement ou d'une ou plusieurs institutions spécifiques.

1.5 Y a-t-il des changements recommandés à la conception de l'engagement pour aider à améliorer sa mise en œuvre ?

To strengthen implementation of the Public Participation commitment, there is a need to address resource constraints and behavioural challenges that may affect meaningful engagement. Adequate resources should be provided to support consistent grassroots participation, especially at ward and community levels.

One foreseeable challenge is the risk of participation becoming transactional, where some citizens may expect incentives or allowances rather than engaging based on civic responsibility and interest in influencing decision-making. On the government side, institutional rigidity among some officers may limit responsiveness to citizen inputs and reduce the effectiveness of participatory processes.

To mitigate these challenges, the County should strengthen civic l'éducation , promote awareness of the purpose and value of public participation, improve feedback mechanisms, and build the capacity of government officers to embrace inclusive and responsive governance practices.
