The five year programme aims to build sustained citizen/CSO demand for accountability from government service providers and devolved fund managers leading to better quality services for all Kenyans. The project also aims to strengthen the Kenya National Taxpayers Association (NTA) so that it is better able to advocate on behalf of citizens.  Its remit is to independently monitor the provision of government services and the management of devolved funds. These findings are then used to mobilise citizen demand for accountability from the same government service providers and devolved fund managers.
