Voter Education: Curriculum Methodologies
“Voter Education: Curriculum Methodologies,” published in 1999, is a booklet that explains the role of the Electoral Commission of Kenya in voter education. The Electoral Commision was focused on revamping the electoral process in Kenya and enhancing civic participation in the increasingly pluralistic Kenyan political process. This was particularly important as Kenya had been under virtual one party rule from 1969 until the early 1990s.

Daraja Update
This November 1997 issue of “Daraja” touches on the struggle to achieve civic elections in Kenya and promoting democracy and good governance in Africa. The lead article focuses on the effort to enhance civic education and elections in the midst of executive governmental power that is not in favor of promoting political participation or expanding democracy.

The challenges presented by the article to developing democracy in Africa are overcoming violence, sound democracy development managment, enhancing the role of civil society, mainstreaming women into politics, increasing the capacity of African institutions that allow for democracy development and developing an ownership of democratic reforms in order to bring about demcoracy that fits the region and culture that it will be governing.
