PROMOTING FISCAL TRANSPARENCY
At the Nairobi Eastern Central Regional Budget Hub (NEC Hub), we are incredibly proud to celebrate the exemplary civic leadership demonstrated during Laikipia County’s 2026 County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) and Debt Management Strategy Paper (DMSP) public participation forums.
A special commendation to Mary Mureithi (Laikipia Budget Facilitator) and Kiongozi Wagutu (Laikipia Senior Budget Champion), who, together with our dedicated budget champions, submitted a high-level and comprehensive memorandum.
Laikipia has officially formed a Primary Health Care (PHC) Coalition, convened by Pathways Policy Institute (PPI) with support from the Health NGOs Network (HENNET).
The Laikipia Health Service (LHS) PHC Coalition brings together civil society organizations, community representatives, and the County Health Management Team to strengthen community-centered health systems. It focuses on promoting accountability, equity, and sustainable financing for PHC.
A key priority for the Coalition is advancing budget advocacy for PHC as a strategy to increase funding for essential health services. Through evidence-based engagement, the Coalition will work to ensure that community health needs are well represented in county budgets and that resources are directed toward strengthening primary health care delivery.
This initiative aligns with Kenya’s Primary Health Care agenda and the broader goal of achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC), reinforcing PPI’s commitment to inclusive, citizen-driven health policy dialogue.

Budget Cycle Refresher for JASIRI Champions
The JASIRI Champions gathered in Laikipia for a hands-on training aimed at helping young people understand county budgets and use creative tools for advocacy.
They broke down the four stages of the budget cycle: formulation, approval, implementation and audit. They learned how to read documents like the CIDP, ADP and Programme-Based Budgets. They worked through a mock exercise where they allocated resources between health, roads and youth programmes.
In parallel, they used art, role-play and storytelling to explore how advocacy can happen through murals, skits and peer conversations.
A visit to the Laikipia County Assembly gave them firsthand experience in how the legislature works and how youth can engage in public participation spaces.
By the end of the session, participants said they felt equipped to ask the right questions, track how public funds are spent and demand accountability in their wards.
