Project
My Tax my Voice Project is an initiative that will mobilize the local and indigenous community members who are the tax payers through citizen grassroots forums to empower them with information about the devolved funds so that they can hold elected leaders, government officers and other duty holders accountable. This is aimed at ensuring proper utilization of the public devolved funds at the county level. The main objective of this project is to advance the interest of the youth and adults in the County government policies, legislations, budgets and prioritization of community projects processes and also to improve space for citizen participation.
