The 2007 general elections highlighted Kenya's failure to engage its youth constituency effectively in political, governance, and electoral processes.

Through the Administration Costs Research Project, evidence gathered reveals how international donor funding covers the real administration costs of national NGOs. The Funders for Real Cost, Real Change (FRC), a collaborative of private foundations, commissioned this research and sought recommendations on how funders could provide adequate cost coverage and strengthen their grantees' financial health and resilience.
