This is the Participant Manual for use in IBP’s Kenya County Budget Training. It is meant to be used along with the Facilitator Manual and the Annex of Key Documents. In addition, you will find an Annex of Background Documents for further reading in a number of areas. The materials are designed to increase the capacity of key oversight actors at local level, civil society and media, to play their part in the new governance structure in Kenya, with a focus on the county budget process.
