New incentive for multiparty democracy in Kenya

undefinedLast Friday, on a cold and cloudy morning, an estimated half million Kenyans witnessed and celebrated the promulgation of a brand new Constitution in an impressive show of unity at Uhuru (freedom) park in central Nairobi. A procession of political leaders, judges, military leaders and civil servants all took new oaths and pledged their allegiance - no longer to the President, but to the new constitution. Under this new constitution, all sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with this constitution. As Prime Minister Raila Odinga at the ceremony stated: "government shall be accountable to the people of Kenya". Read the article

EPD at European Foundation Week

undefinedThe European Partnership for Democracy (EPD) participated on the 1st of June in the panel discussion "Providing Experience on Democracy and Good Governance" during last week's (31 May-4 June) European Foundation Week. Although foundations are key players in supporting economic, cultural and social projects, their public profile is rather limited. For this reason, the European Foundation Centre (EFC) offered with the first-ever Foundation Week a platform where EU policymakers, NGOs, multilateral organizations, foundations and the general public could discuss the work of foundations in a series of seminars and debates, covering topics such as arts and culture, environment, health, international relations and development, philanthropic capacity building, research and education as well as socio-economic development.
