About Us

The Center for Enhancing Democracy and Good Governance is a Non-Governmental Organization headquartered in Nakuru County. The mandate of CEDGG is empowering vulnerable and marginalized groups (VMGs) through training, advocacy, networking and linkages in areas of human and constitutional rights, cultural heritage and equitable distribution of resources.

CEDGG was founded in 1995 in the then Baringo District. It was first formed as a Community Based Organization to advocate for socio-economic rights of the marginalised groups and ethnic minorities in Baringo and Koibatek districts. However, with time, due to the greater needs of the bigger Rift Valley region and opportunities for driving a change and accountability agenda, it expanded its work to other districts. CEDGG implements programs in the counties of Nakuru, Baringo, Laikipia, Elgeyo Marakwet, Isiolo, Turkana, Samburu,West Pokot, Kericho and Narok.

Our sectoral priorities are water, health, agriculture, social protection, education (especiallyearly childhood and vocational training), public finance management and climate change.

The core problem that we seek to address in society is the low capacity of the marginalised and vulnerable groups to engage with and participate in the decision-making processes.- Paul Masese, Executive Director, CEDGG
