Issues of governance, tax and accountability can be technical, complex and seem disconnected from the day-to-day issues faced by Kenyans. NTA has conducted research and provided information to all Kenyans through its Citizen Report Cards (CRCs), scoping studies, public forums and through the media which have presented issues of how devolved funds are being used and their impact on development in constituencies in a user-friendly, simple, and accessible manner. NTA has dismantled the technicalities of governance and tax processes and increased citizen awareness on these issues. NTA provides information in simplified language which has contributed to an increasingly informed and rights-aware citizenry. It is envisaged these CRCs will form the foundation on which to build access to objective, evidence-based information for the average citizen.

• Citizens Report Cards (CRCs) have been produced for 46 constituencies and 14 local authorities.
• Public launches of CRCs created an overwhelming demand for NTA activities from citizens, political leaders and government departmental officers.
• CRCs have been produced on CDF, LATF, rural roads, registration services, health services and the education sector.
• A Schools Report Card for parents to assess quality of education in public primary schools was piloted.
• 2 Baseline Scoping studies have been produced on public security services and citizens perceptions of public accountability and potential for public action.
• Post-budget analysis report on the National Budget for the financial year 2009/2010 was produced. The report broke down the budget to show what the budget means for the ordinary citizen.
