The project hopes to see an increased (and more responsive) public expenditure to address the needs of those living at the margins of society, by promoting their sustained and active in decision-making processes by empowering communities to engage directly with the duty bearers, interrogating key public expenditure documents, and make recommendations to influence allocation and utilization of public funds to address their needs. The project objectives are:
# To strengthen inclusive tax collection, procedures and systems safeguarding the concerns of People living with Disabilities and Women facing exploitation, abuse and/violence in Nairobi and Kisumu Counties by April 2022.
# To increase allocation and utilization of publicfunds towards the priorities of PWDs and women facing exploitation, abuse and/violence in Nairobi and Kisumu Counties by April 2022.
# To enhance the participation and visibility of 1,189 PWDs and 2,000 women facingexploitation, abuse and/violence in decision making process at the National and Sub-national level by April 2022.
Meaningful change will be achieved if marginalized people is empowered to participate in the governance processes, increase the strength oftheir voice in the taxation dialogues, express their needs and push for inclusive taxation and public expenditure allocations so that no policy should be decided by any representative withouttheir full participation as they are the ones who are being affected. Only then shall government be responsive, prioritise inclusion and diversity in service delivery provision.
