CRECO – Constitution and Reform Education Consortium

CRECO Trust is a network of 23 civil society organizations in Kenya. These organizations belong to the broad human rights, governance and democracy category of NGOs founded in 1998. It is a culmination of a networking history dating as far back as 1992 with the exponential increase in NGOs involved in governance.

Focus of CRECO with regards to Good Governance in Kenya

CRECO envisions a just society and provides non partisan contribution and leadership in the human rights, constitutionalism, democratization and governance processes in Kenya. They promote respect and protection of human rights. They enhance civic engagement and provision of technical support to member CSOs. CRECO enjoys a unique position being one of the very few civil society organizations with strategic niche in democratization and civic engagement in Kenya.

The approval of the new Constitution in the August 4, 2010 referendum was a milestone in CRECO’s quest for constitutionalism and good governance in Kenya. The organisation has a five year Strategic Plan (2016-2020) which outlines development approach and priority programme areas in promoting implementation of the new constitution through advocacy, civic engagement, CSOs coordination and institutional strengthening.
