About us

The Centre for Enhancing Democracy and Good Governance (CEDGG) is a civil society organization headquartered in Nakuru County and works for the empowerment of vulnerable and marginalized groups (VMGs) through training, advocacy, networking and linkages in the areas of human rights, protection of cultural heritage and equitable distribution of resources.

ABOUT CEDGG

Centre for Enhancing Democracy and Good Governance (CEDGG) is a non-political advocacy civil society organisation that works to empower vulnerable and marginalized citizens to claim their rights in local development and governance processes.

History

The Centre for Enhancing Democracy and Good Governance (CEDGG) was founded in 1995 by Mr. Charles Kamuren and other human rights defenders from the Endorois community in 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.

Operations

We have a strong programme presence in seven counties in the former Rift Valley region namely: Nakuru, Baringo, Kericho, Laikipia, Elgeyo Marakwet, West Pokot and Turkana.

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 around the constitutional reform agenda and the development process in general.
