Country Lead, Twaweza EA
“The collaboration between the Centre for Fiscal Affairs (CFA) and Twaweza East Africa has proven to be invaluable in advancing shared goals related to governance, accountability, and citizen empowerment. Through joint initiatives like the Okoa Uchumi Coalition and the design of surveys on citizen knowledge, attitudes, and perception, as well as collaborative efforts on the Finance Bills of 2023 and 2024, both organizations have effectively amplified citizen voices and advocated for fair taxation policies. These partnerships have been instrumental in protecting citizens from high taxation, safeguarding civic space, and promoting government accountability. The synergy between CFA's expertise in Public Finance Management and Twaweza's commitment to citizen agency has significantly contributed to fostering a more inclusive and responsive governance landscape in Kenya.”
