Community engagement and inclusion of marginalized groups is a key pillar of the Kenyan Constitution and Vision 2030. It is critical in localizing the SDGs at grassroots levels, promoting democracy, ownership and inclusivity in decision-making processes.

Through community awareness forums and vernacular radio stations AAE created awareness on SDGS;

• SDGs could help communities in achieving good leadership i.e having a good representation in the government,
• Having development projects anchored on the SDGs

Emphasis were;

• Seminars on development and public participations to be more enhanced
• Some projects not implemented due to lack of follow up and cases of corruption in some county administration
• Enhance transparency in the project implementation with full disclosure (proper communication and update to the community on the public participation events)
