The International Civil Society's Influence on the Rule of Law: a Case Study of the International Center for Transitional Justice in the Implementation of the Kenyan 2010 Constitution

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which International Civil Society Organizations influenced the Kenyan Constitution 2010 implementation. The survey's main questions were: what influence did the ICTJ have in the implementation of Kenya's 2010 constitution? What difficulties did the ICTJ face during the implementation of the 2010 constitution? One of the hypotheses was that the ICTJ did a lot of engagement with public on policy reviews in the implementation of Kenya's 2010 constitution. The study used a mixed method approach to data collection, using both a questionnaire and interview guides to gather information. The information gathered was analyzed using graphics and content analysis, which were then combined and explained in the form of script narration. According to the study, the ICTJ and its affiliates should encourage a citizen-driven process rather than an elite-driven process in constitutional implementation.
