Building Accountable Governance in Busia County.
At Dhamira Moja, we believe that genuine development begins with empowered citizens and accountable institutions. Our governance programs strengthen the social contract between communities and their leaders, creating spaces for meaningful participation, ensuring transparency in public affairs, and building collective capacity to drive community-led development.
