Nandi County is pleased to host Open Government Partnership (OGP), a local government exchange and networking convention that is set to take place between 30th November – 3rd December 2021.
This comes forth with Nandi county’s appointment to join OGP in 2020 – following its commitment to integrating openness in governance and the efforts in building an informed citizenry.
The convention brings together delegates from the Counties of Nairobi, Elgeiyo Marakwet, Makueni, and Nandi, National government OGP representatives, Open Governance Institute (OGI), Mzalendo Trust, HIVOS, Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), NTA, and Development Gateway.
The county’s key commitment areas include public participation, citizen engagement, and open procurement. Rightful consideration of these core areas enhances transparency, accountability, and responsiveness.
Nandi County is keen on engaging and empowering citizens to directly influence and shape government plans and policies. It’s achieving this through the establishment of openness and citizen engagement platforms. These platforms include the toll-free County Call Centre (1548), digitization of government processes, and enactment of Nandi County public participation and Civic Education Act.
Among other guests to grace the event include representatives from the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ-Ombudsman), Senate, Kenya Space Agency, and Office of the Deputy President where OGP is domiciled.
