The Democracy and Human Rights program is supported by the Embassy of Sweden through Diakonia Kenya Country Office. The second phase started in July 2018 and is expected to end in December 2022. This project is implemented by CFF in partnership with PEN. The overall program result is increased respect for human rights, and gender equality and strengthened democratic governance at the national and local levels. The program has two outcomes namely:
- Strengthened accountability and independence of governance structures and institutions at the local and national level
- Inclusive, cohesive, and accountable society through increased citizen engagement in the governance process.
