| Izvleček: | The chapters of this volume represent a significant output of the Strategies
and Analysis for Growth and Access (SAGA) project, a USAID-funded cooperative
agreement directed by Cornell and Clark Atlanta Universities. SAGA
brings together policy makers, researchers and other experts with an interest in
African development. SAGA’s goals are to conduct high-quality, policy- relevant
research, and to increase African capacity to produce such research on key
issues affecting economic growth and welfare in Africa. While SAGA’s geographical
coverage spans several countries in western, southern and eastern
Africa and its research cuts across issues of health, education, vulnerability
and empowerment, this book highlights the insights generated from research
carried out by a range of collaborators in Kenya. Specifically, this volume collects
research looking into the effect that decentralization, in its various forms,
plays in stimulating rural development, empowering individuals and groups,
and improving rural well-being. The institutional correlates of successful and
unsuccessful decentralization efforts are also studied.
The volume could not have reached fruition were it not for the dedication
and contribution of the authors and co-authors of the chapters included herein.
We extend our deep gratitude and appreciation for their hard work and commitment
to this endeavour. Several other SAGA–Kenya researchers produced
rigorous and insightful research around the parallel theme of ‘reducing risk
in rural Kenya’. They too were valued members of the SAGA–Kenya team.
We are indebted to them and sincerely thank and recognize Joseph Karugia,
Paswel Marenya, Hezron Nyangito, Rose Nyikal, Walter Odhiambo and Willis
Oluoch-Kosura for their efforts. |
