EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Grants Assessment Committee (GAC) Report captures the process of assessment of CSO concepts and proposals for the 1st Call for Proposals whose theme was “Deepening human rights centered and transformative governance in Kenya”.

This Report summarises the processes, proceedings, conclusions and recommendations of the Amkeni Wakenya Grants Assessment Committee that considered concepts and proposals submitted by CSOs based or working in three counties of Kwale, Turkana and Kitui proposing to work on either of the two thematic areas of devolution and human rights and access to justice.

It makes recommendations to the Projects Approval Committee on CSOs to be funded under this first round of grant making.

Overall, the Call 1 Call for Proposals received a fairly good response as it focused on only 3 counties. A total of 46 proposals from CSOs were submitted for consideration. These CSOs included community-based organisations, self-help groups, faith-based organisations, and non-governmental organisations based within the three targeted counties of Kwale, Kitui and Turkana. While 30 projects met the set minimum score due to limited resources 22 projects have been recommended to the project steering committee for consideration for capacity assessment and award of grants. This number is higher than the indicative number of grants for the call which is 14 as some recommended projects may be eliminated for other reasons other than merit which was the main considerations at the Grant assessment stage.

The Grants Assessment Committee

The Grants Assessment Committee comprised of the following staff of UN who were under the guidance of the Amkeni Wakenya Programme Manager:

1. Nardos Hagos _ Programme Analyst UNMC 2. Zainab Ali – Programme Officer UNDP 3. Scholastica Marenya - Programme Specialist Amkeni Wakenya

Efforts were made to include assessors from other agencies but most were unavailable during this period

BACKGROUND

The Civil Society Democratic Governance Facility (Amkeni Wakenya) is a flagship civil society strengthening project of UNDP established in 2008 with the principal aim of providing coordinated technical and financial support to civil society organizations (CSOs) working on democratic governance in Kenya. Through a three pronged innovative approach of grant making, capacity building and Learning and knowledge management, the programme promotes civic engagement in governance’s process to cover not only urban based Non-Governmental Organizations but also nascent Community- Based Organizations across the country From 2015, a new Phase 2015- 2018 Amkeni Wakenya Project has been designed, to builds on and consolidate the gains made under Phase 1 by deepening focus on the previous four strategic areas of: Access to Justice and Human Rights; Promoting People Centered- devolution and local governance; Promoting an enabling environment for CSOs and responding to emerging governance issues. Towards this, Amkeni Wakenya rolled out a call for proposal from interested civil society organizations to participate in the project themed “Deepening Human Rights-Centered and transformative Governance” targeting 3 counties of Turkana, Kitui and Kwale. The main focus areas for the projects were:

a) Promoting Access to Justice and Realization of Human Rights.

b) Promoting People Centered- devolution and local governance

On the theme Promoting Access to Justice and Realization of Human Rights the Call targeted 6 projects

from 3 counties of Kitui, Kwale and Turkana. Each project would be awarded $ 80,000 for two years.

The devolution theme focused on enhancing access to empowerment opportunities for youth and

women in the counties of Kwale and Turkana. The project aims to award 8 projects a grant of $ 25 ,000

each for a period of 6 months

The call was published in the 2 dailies: The Standard Newspaper and Daily Nation of the 3rd June 2016

with a deadline of 30th June 2016.Three publication information forums were conducted in the targeted

counties to further clarify the Call for proposals and generate public interest.

Findings:

Overall the full proposal submitted were a good representation of the geographic scope of the counties (see attached List) and addressed most of the key concerns highlighted in Amkeni scoping mission findings in the targeted counties. However, the response especially for devolution category was rather low. This is would have been because the guidelines had emphasised on youth and women led or focussed NGOs which were not many in the targeted counties. This notwithstanding, the recommended groups from the two counties submitted quality proposals that would ensure inclusion of all regions in the counties

The quality of proposal was good with most proposals having coherent project design clearly linking activities to outputs and outcomes. The budgets were realistic and demonstrated value for money with most proposal adhering to the 15% guideline for administrative costs

The proposal also demonstrated satisfactory levels of sustainability mechanisms moving beyond awareness creation to evidence based policy advocacy for policies and creation of local structures that will survive beyond the project period

The Logical frameworks will however need to be strengthened and SMART indicators developed to measure qualitative level results. In addition, there is need to assist the CSOs in knowledge management as this was assessed as partially good.

The CSOs financial and management capacity was good with most organisation providing qualified audit reports, clear examples of previous project and qualified staff. There is however need for further verification of these capacities through capacity assessment exercise conducted by the PMU before finally contracting of CSOs.

Amkeni Wakenya has a capacity building approach that will be used to strengthen organisational and financial management skills of CSOs that are weak and other risks that may arise.
