The impact of the Kenya National civic education programme on democratic attitudes, knowledge, values, and behavior

Abstract

"This report presents the findings of the Kenya Civic Education Impact Study, sponsored by USAID/Kenya, which assesses the effectiveness of the Kenya National Civic Education Programme (NCEP) in promoting democratic values, awareness, knowledge, and political engagement among ordinary Kenyan citizens. The Impact Study represents a critical aspect of the NCEP’s overall monitoring and evaluation effort. Other aspects of the monitoring and evaluation, organized under the auspices of the Technical Assistance Team of Price Waterhouse Cooper in Nairobi, focus on the organization of the NCEP program, its success in implementing workshops and other activities, the effects of the program on the CSOs involved and on Kenyan civil society in general. The Impact Study sponsored by USAID, however, represents the sole mechanism for assessing the effect of the program on the individuals who have been exposed to NCEP activities.
