Request for Expression of Interest
1. Introduction
The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA Kenya) is a Public Policy Think-tank that seeks to promote pluralism of ideas through open, active and informed public debates on key policy issues and to propose feasible policy alternatives. Supported by the European Union, the IEA Kenya is implementing a project on increasing transparency in management of public funds in response to the COVID-19 emergency. The project aims to strengthen the capacities of CSOs and community accountability mechanisms to monitor, influence and participate in auditing of public spending during the COVID-19 crisis and to strengthen the capacity of county governments to publicize public funds allocation and utilization.
The IEA Kenya seeks to identify suitable Civil Society Organization (CSO) partners based in Nakuru, Nandi and Mombasa counties to partner in the implementation of this project. The goal of this partnership is to strengthen the ability of the county-based CSOs to understand, interpret and advocate on key issues highlighted in the annual reports of the Auditor General, as well as the Special Audits related to utilization of COVID-19 Funds. We invite interested CSOs based and working in any one of the three counties to submit an Expression of Interest in response to this Call and the stated objectives.
