    WELCOME TO THE NEW-LOOK KCDF

    Since 1997, we have been successul in working with com-

    munities to support them in their pursuit o community well

    being and prosperity. In this time, KCDF has supported a

    strong network o communities in all parts o Kenya.

    The communities that we support have worked hard to

    transorm their lives through programmes in areas such as

    Early Childhood Education, Girl-child development, educa-

    tion scholarships, Food Security, Youth Development, Arts &

    Culture, Water and Endowment Building.

    Building on the strong oundation o trust and stability, KCDF

    is Rebranding as part o its agenda to be more responsive

    to the times, to be more dynamic in its approach both in

    resource mobilisation as well as innovation in the implemen-

    tation o its programmes.

    This new KCDF brand is even more open and communica-

    tive on a global scale, harnessing the internet and other

    tools to be better accessible to the widest number o people

    possible.

    By rereshing its visual brand, KCDF is rearming its com-

    mitment to its vision that all Kenyan communities shall giveand work together in a prosperous nation. This vision di-

    rects our ocus to ensure that even as we implement the

    programmes that we have committed to, we shall oster co-

    hesiveness and cooperation in communities around Kenya

    in order to strengthen our ability to build a prosperous na-

    tion together.

    A short history

    KCDF is unique among local civil society organisations

    in Kenya as a pioneer national public oundation. Estab-

    lished in 1997, KCDF has a strong national outlook built

    over the last decade on a strong oundation o trust andcommunity-driven development approaches. The Founda-

    tion works through strategic and careully selected part-

    nerships throughout the country both at the national and

    community level.

    Institutionally, KCDF has developed solid grant-making

    policies and procedures and established itsel as a cred-

    ible actor in the development agenda. It has maintained

    11 years o unqualied audits by reputable rms and pro-vided unequalled capacity development accompaniment

    embedded with all its grants to enhance the capability o

    its partners or eciency, eectiveness and sustainability.

    KCDF has over the years worked with more than 300 part-

    ners on an annual basis throughout the country.

    The greatest innovation and endeavour or KCDF has been

    to collaborate with other like-minded organisations in all

    its areas o work and hence its approach o evaluating

    the experience and capacity o new partners. KCDF has

    provided more than Kshs. 225 million (US $3 million)

    to community based organisations towards programmes

    covering early childhood development, girl child develop-

    ment, support strategy by establishing an education schol-

    arships, ood security, youth development arts and culture,

    water and endowment building among others.

    The Foundation has also established its own sustain-

    ability by establishing an endowment und with support

    rom its well wishers and support-

    ers. In 2006 KCDFs eorts were

    recognized by the Ford Foundation

    with the award o a US $3 million

    towards her endowment on condi-tion that it raises US $1 million

    rom local sources. KCDF has also

    opened up its investment ramework

    to communities. A total o 19 com-

    munity groups are building unds

    using this ramework.

    KCDF is governed by a Board o

    Trustees that ensures the work done

    by the Organisation remains true

    to the vision o the Foundation. The

    Board o Trustees appoints a Board

    o Directors rom among people o

    integrity, rom various backgrounds

    who buy into the vision or mission

    o the Foundation and volunteer to

    serve. The Board o Directors pro-

    vides oversight and oversees imple-

    mentation o KCDF programmes

    through committees that make it

    easy or Board and Management

    consultation, along the major arms

    o KCDF work. Day to day manage-

    ment o the Foundation is led by

    who we Are

    Over a decade since it was established KCDF has ma-

    tured into a reputable organisation that is committed to

    creating sel-reliant Kenyan communities working together

    to advance a air and just society.

    Founded in 1997 and registered in Kenya as a publicoundation, KCDF makes grants to a variety o organised

    grassroots communities to enable them address their

    development priorities. This is achieved by supporting

    communities to harness and grow their own resources. To

    ensure eectiveness and impact, strengthening community

    leadership is at the core o KCDF work. This distinct ocus

    on ensuring sustainability in all initiatives necessitates the

    concurrent emphasis on mobilising local resources or

    investment, strengthening local institutions and building o

    sustainability endowment unds. The oundation thus works

    to re-orient communities to consider and use local resourc-

    es instead o depending on external or oreign resources.

    why we exist

    KCDF a abd a ac d-p Ka c.

    Founders o KCDF had seen many community initiativescollapse when external donor unding was withdrawn or

    when unding priorities shited. They noted that despite

    years o receiving donor aid or development, livelihoods

    in Arica were not improving. Instead the continent was

    becoming poorer and dependent on donor aid. One

    constant issue has been the spirit o harambeeor com-

    munity giving, o pulling together or development and in

    times o diculty, which has remained alive. Harambee

    dened development throughout almost hal a century o

    independent Kenyas history. Harambeeunds continued

    to support the development o thousands o community

    projects countrywide; these unds have seen hundreds o

    thousands o young men and women through institutions o

    higher education all over the world and seen communities

    through dicult periods o scarcity and amine. Despite

    reports o corruption and abuse o public unds, the resil-

    ience o communities through hard times have remained

    strong.

    Inspired by Kenyas harambee spirit and its strength in

    communities, the ounders set the vision o KCDF, and

    chose to adapt the Community Foundation Model - which

    originated rom the west - to local circumstances and

    needs. The basis o this model is to engage communities in

    working together towards improving their own communi-

    ties, so that they are able to take charge and lead their

    own development agenda, mobilise and invest the resourc-

    es to meet both present and uture development needs.Lessons rom the harambee movement dictated that the na-

    scent KCDF was ounded on strong legal and governance

    structures as a protection - both or

    the internal operations o the institu-

    tion as well as to support public

    condence in KCDF. The outcome

    was a complex governance structure

    that allowed KCDF to prove its cred-

    ibility and earn the trust o communi-ties as more and more individuals

    and groups invested their money

    with the Foundation.

    With over 50 per cent o the

    Kenyan population living below

    the poverty line, the need or new

    approaches to address poverty and

    the challenges o achieving social

    justice are urgent and hence the

    objectives o KCDF remain relevant

    and critical.

    struCture oF KCDFFrom the outset, KCDF was ounded on a strong legal and

    governance structure. This primary commitment to account-

    ability was designed to saeguard the public interest and

    overcome public mistrust o undraising eorts and institu-

    tions holding public money.

    Founders o KCDF saw immense opportunities in a num-

    ber o characteristics exhibited by communities in Kenya.

    These included the act that Kenyans are a very resilient

    society, struggling and working through challenges o

    inequity, drought, amine, scarcity o resources, high cost

    o living and poor governance. Kenyans have upheld

    the spirit o community giving, the harambeespirit as the

    basis on which many people have obtained higher educa-

    tion and now Kenyans in diaspora support their amilies

    back home. Many community projects based on shared

    resources have been built. There is a steady increase in

    the population o the young, educated, ambitious and

    creative population. This, together with the drive or reorm

    o governance institutions are maniestation o a society

    keen to choose its destiny. Kenyan communities have thus

    remained strong in their hope and desire to improve the

    welare and achievement o greater economic growth in

    the country.

    Over the 12 year learning process, evolving concerns

    have impacted the structure o KCDF which continues to

    be rened to ensure that the public investment with KCDF

    is secured even as the Organisation is streamlined or

    eciency and eectiveness. The Foundation is governed

    by a Board o Trustees that ensures the work done by the

    Foundation remains true to the vision o KCDF. The Board

    o Trustees appoints a Board o Directors rom among

    people o integrity rom various backgrounds who buy intothe vision o the Foundation and who volunteer to serve.

    The Board o Directors oversees implementation o the

    KCDF programmes through com-

    mittees that make it easy or Board

    and Management consultation

    along major arms o KCDF work.

    The Chie Executive Ocer is a

    non-voting member o the Board o

    tions Secretariat in Nairobi.

    KCDF aab c--d dp.The Foundation achieves this through the ollowing core

    unctions:

    Capacity building and grant-making that is, mak-

    ing nancial and technical inormation or other

    needed support available to communities.

    Resource mobilisation and endowment building.

    Promoting philanthropy and working to oster a

    positive legal and policy environment.

    Advocating or sound development policies and

    practices.

    These key pillars o our work are designed to lay the

    ground-work or sel-reliance, accountability and local

    grant-making or development within communities. Thecumulative outcome is a nationwide basis or accelerating

    development and scaling up poverty eradication eorts by

    dierent actors.

    1. CAPACITy bUILDING AND GRANTMAKING

    Through grant-making, KCDF makes money available to

    communities to address their development challenges on

    an on-going basis. Qualied grantees are identied rom

    among community organisations countrywide through acompetitive process. They are given access to nancial

    and technical resources to implement projects o their

    choice that impact positively on their development. Nearly

    US$ 3 million in grants has been made available to com-

    munities to support various community initiatives such as

    in education (including early childhood development and

    scholarships or needy children), youth development, arts

    and culture, ood security and girl child initiatives, asset

    development among others. Partner communities report

    that the opportunity to work with KCDF enables them to

    venture into new areas accompanied by a refection that

    ignites new energy to address their

    challenges.

    KCDF oers three types o services

    under grantmaking:

    Partnership grants: KCDF

    sources unds rom diverseunding partners who buy into

    the vision and mission o the

    Foundation and uses these unds

    to support communities. Funding

    partners range rom bilateral do-

    nors including the World Bank to

    private oundations like Bernard

    Vandleer Foundation, the Ford

    Foundation to corporate donors

    such as Saaricom.

    Disursement o endow-

    ment income: These are

    grants made annually or at other

    agreed intervals rom a portion

    o the income (yields) o com-

    munity unds that are managed

    by KCDF on behal o its und-

    builders and rom KCDFs ownendowment.

    Capacit uilding grants

    or asset deelopment or

    institution strengthening:

    These are grants given to com-

    munities to support processes or

    mobilising resources or assets

    towards building permanentsource o community unds or

    endowments, with KCDF or the

    WHAT WE DO

  • 8/9/2019 KCDF Strategic Plan 2009-2013

    sustainability o their prioritised projects. KCDF also

    provides capacity development support with its pro-

    grammes grants to ensure organisations implement pro-

    grammes and gain support in areas like governance,

    their nancial management systems as well as needed

    programming.

    2. RESOURCE MObILISATION AND ENDOWMENT

    bUILDING

    Access and control o resources is a prerequisite or sel-

    reliance at national and community level. Control o the

    resources or their own development allows communities

    to address those issues that most concern them - ree rom

    external conditionalities o unding.

    To answer this need, KCDF is growing an endowment

    und. The intention is to build signicant capital whose

    returns will enable KCDF to make grants to credible institu-

    tions working with partner communities, in perpetuity.

    Contributions to the KCDF endowment und to date have

    come rom institutional donors, individuals and through

    organised events.

    In addition, KCDF works with communities and other

    CSOs who share in its vision, to mobilize, accumulate

    and invest local resources or the uture. The KCDF invest-ment ramework is made available or such non-prots

    wishing to create long term unding or their work. KCDF

    invests these unds alongside its own with the long term

    goal o creating an endowment und that will be available

    in perpetuity and applied in set areas o work.

    3. PROMOTING PHILANTHROPy

    KCDF works to encourage the growth and promotion o or-

    ganised giving in Kenya. The goal is to move communitiesand the wider Kenyan public rom the mindset o depend-

    ing on external resources and to begin to und their own

    development. Creating structures

    which acilitate such giving is essen-

    tial or continuity and consistency.

    Concurrent to promoting local

    philanthropy, KCDF is also working

    with government and like-minded

    organisations in the area o philan-thropy to establish an appropriate

    policy and legal ramework or local

    philanthropy.

    4. ADvOCATING FOR SOUND

    DEvELOPMENT POLICIES AND

    PRACTICES

    Over the last 12 years, KCDF has

    accumulated a lot o knowledge

    and best practices rom supporting

    grassroots development eorts that

    positively impact poor communities.

    Documenting such learning and

    sharing it with other development

    actors has been ound to be a great

    way o ensuring diverse groups

    scale up eective approaches across

    Kenya.

    KCDF a a aa ada. TheFoundation makes conscious and deliberate eort to reach

    all areas o the country in scaling up development eorts,

    especially or the underserved. Both grant-making and

    asset development work are present in all regions o the

    tions that can be used to organize communities aroundissues that matter to them.

    ment policies. KCDF recognizes government as the

    lead development actor or the Kenyan people. This

    reality oers great opportunities to scale up appropri-

    ate development processes or wider impact. Working

    with others to infuence the national legal and policy

    ramework to encourage local philanthropy is another

    area where KCDF seeks to infuence the government,

    so that there can be more credible and reliable struc-

    tures through which people can give, thus entrenchingthe culture o giving.

    Non-profts like NGOs, community based organisa-

    tions, associations and others who work directly with

    communities to help them overcome poverty challenges

    are other key groups with whom KCDF works with.

    These are our partners on the ground. KCDF works

    with them to enhance their capacity to acilitate people-

    driven development. We also work with these partnersto identiy and build local assets and invest such unds

    in community endowments, increase social capital

    and widen opportunities or a

    variety o social investments that

    help communities create wealth.

    KCDF recognizes that eective

    and credible non prots are well

    placed to scale up poverty eradi-

    cation work among underservedcommunities.

    Faith ased organisations,

    FBOs hold immense responsibili-

    ties and roles at community level;

    they are trusted by communities

    and as such are important to the

    achievement o KCDFs goals

    and to development in Kenya in

    general. FBOs work with local

    communities to mobilise local

    resources and energy around

    spiritual and social value-based

    initiatives which in turn set the

    local community energy towards

    common interests such as local,

    social and economic develop-

    ment.

    Other oundations have also

    been close partners o KCDF.

    From its inception KCDF has

    related closely with oundations

    around the world to learn rom

    their best practices and adapt

    them to the Kenya context. KCDF

    receives the support o other

    oundations towards the en-trenchment o local philanthropy

    and to support the establishment

    and strengthening o KCDF as a Kenyan endowed

    oundation. The Ford Foundation has been an outstand-

    ing partner o KCDF since its inception and has pro-

    vided great learning opportunities or sta and board.

    Other partners include the Aga Khan Foundation and

    the Bernard Van Leer Foundation.

    The corporate sector partners with KCDF and other

    stakeholders in the philanthropy sector to encourage

    them to make their contribution to local communities

    and to get corporate givers to think o the long term

    development o communities and o Kenya.

    Consortia and networks such as EAAG, WINGS,

    COF, EFC, AGAG, IISP, AGN among others are rm

    partners o KCDF. These regional and international or-

    ganisations in the philanthropy sector continue to share

    lessons and experiences in philanthropy with KCDF,

    thus enabling it to promote local giving.

    Institutional donors who share the vision and mis-

    sion o KCDF collaborate with the Foundation to make

    Partnership Grants to communities to support dierent

    sectors o development.

    Indiiduals: KCDF engages individuals to createawareness o the possibilities made available by

    philanthropy and to encourage them to engage in the

    development o their country and community by contrib-

    uting resources through structured mechanisms. KCDF

    recognizes the immense potential that lies in harnessing

    individual gits and contributions o whatever size to

    enhance development eorts.

    Media are instrumental partners in inorming thepublic and play a broad role in disseminating the

    messages or development, rom awareness building,

    to communicating about best

    practice, mobilizing support or

    various local undraising eorts

    and highlighting the transorma-

    tion o communities that have

    changed their conditions by

    working together. KCDF thusrecognises the media as a key

    partner in creating awareness on

    philanthropy and the develop-

    ment agenda into which it ts in

    addition to making the work o

    the Foundation known and build-

    ing a public prole.

    KCDF a abd a aaa a d apa Ka c-. The pioneering work o KCDF as the rst commu-nity oundation in the country and the Region has taken

    place in the rapidly changing context o expanding strate-gic importance o Kenya in the Eastern Arica region. The

    past decade also witnessed Kenyan leadership in interna-

    tional diplomacy and peace-keeping and regional inte-

    gration. Kenya hosted peace-processes or Somalia and

    Sudan and played primary roles in the peace processes o

    other countries in the Great Lakes region and has shown

    strong support or the strategies or regional integration.

    The competitive geographical location o the country hascontinued to encourage Kenyas growth as a major transit

    centre and nancial and communication hub. At the na-

    tional level the Kenyan economy recorded modest growth

    ollowing a long period o stagnation. Ater 2006/07, the

    growth rate hit 6% p.a ater which it ell to below 3%. This

    growth has also paralleled the democratic transition and

    the reorm o the public sector to secure responsiveness

    and accountability in public institutions and to rebuild pub-

    lic condence. The character o the population has also

    changed dramatically as better educated youthul genera-

    tion emerges as orceul players in the national agenda,

    which should infuence KCDFs work in the uture.

    THE CONTExT

  • 8/9/2019 KCDF Strategic Plan 2009-2013

    19/44

    16

    Dening the current context are newly suracing issues.

    The violence that ollowed the general election o 2007

    disrupted many communities creating thousands o inter-

    nally displaced persons, dislocating the progress o whole

    communities and leaving residual tensions along political

    and ethnic lines. This has heightened recognition o the

    importance o the socio-cultural underpinnings on whichthe social abric o Kenya is dependent. Refections by the

    KCDF team ater the post election violence convinced us

    that it is not enough to build nancial assets or even good

    social inrastructure or communities, such as schools or

    health acilities. It is critical that we invest in building the

    social abric in communities as a rm basis o ensuring

    communities can look ater all their assets and value and

    appreciate each other, accept diversity and work to be

    more cohesive as a people. These are undamental to the

    survival o communities. KCDF will explore new opportuni-

    ties under this new strategic plan to support this broader

    denition o community assets in its work and promote

    peaceul coexistence o communities. Building cohesive-

    ness will be part and parcel o this work.

    On the other hand, many Kenyans responded in a big

    way through what has now come to be known as crisis

    philanthropy, oering to donate materials in kind, money

    and even land. This demonstrated that thousands o Ke-nyans are willing to help where structures and mechanisms

    or accountability are in place. A recent study by Ua-

    dhili, a local organisation that promotes corporate social

    responsibility (CSR), showed that a total o US $ 1 billion

    was raised locally in one year to help communities who

    were displaced or negatively aected by the post election

    violence.

    Beyond the crisis created by post election violence, thechallenges o improving livelihoods remain. Many com-

    munities continue to struggle to access education, drugs

    and healthcare acilities. Uncertain

    rainall and other impacts o climate

    change, ragmentation o agricul-

    tural land and growing demand or

    production places great pressures

    on communities

    KCDF recognised rom the outset

    that communities everywhere in

    Kenya including the most vulnerable

    and under-served populations have

    resources available to them. Ac-

    knowledging the existence o these

    resources together with the enduring

    resilience o populations every-

    where, KCDF programmes have

    made a mark in dozens o commu-

    nities across the country, working

    through their organised groups and

    organisations to identiy, add value,

    grow and manage those resources

    or their own socio-economic devel-

    opment.

    In this new strategic plan, KCDF

    will seek to harness the growing

    numbers o youth, their energy and

    intellectual capacity to galvanise

    community-based action or develop-

    ment priorities that not only attract

    them back to the community but also

    provide them with an opportunity to

    drive their own agenda. This is seen

    as a succession plan in key sec-

    tors o agriculture and agribusinesswhere older generations remain key

    players.

    KCDF a a -d pa d c- pp a a acc a a pdc,caba cad p d.Strategically this will be done by creatively harnessing

    resources, mobilizing energy around those resources, cre-

    ating positive competition between initiatives and regions,

    building networks between supply and demand sides in

    each sector and acilitating capacity building with catalyst

    unds. KCDF will seek to harness the ollowing specic

    opportunities.

    1. GROWING UNDERSTANDING AND APPRE-

    CIATION OF ENDOWMENT bUILDING AND

    LONG-TERM INvESTMENT

    Among Kenyans, a growing understanding o endow-

    ments, investments or the uture and sel-reliance is

    opening up space to reshape approaches or community

    development and local resource mobilisation. New com-

    munication technologies are making it easier than ever to

    allow Kenyans to contribute to development in their home

    areas and the country at large even those in Diaspora.

    The same readiness to contribute to the long term develop-

    ment o Kenya is evident in the private sector where there

    is growing interest in structured corporate social respon-

    sibility and philanthropy. There is

    increasing interest rom orward-

    looking companies seeking to nd

    eective ways o working with

    communities.

    2. GOvERNMENT OF KENyASTRATEGIES OF DEvOLvED

    FUNDING FOR DEvELOP-

    MENT

    Decentralised approaches to und-

    ing development by the Government

    o Kenya present an arena or KCDF

    work that was not previously avail-

    able. The Government o Kenya has

    expanded the number o devolved

    unds, thus giving communities a

    chance to be involved in managing

    unds at local level. Among these

    are HIV/AIDS unds, constituency

    bursary unds, local authority trans-

    er unds, roads maintenance unds

    and Constituency Development

    Funds. This has increased demand

    or better grassroots organising

    mechanisms to avoid devolved undsbeing misappropriated or returned

    to the central government when the

    nancial year is over. The work o

    KCDF with grassroots associations,

    CBOs and local NGOs among oth-

    ers, has provided useul experience

    which beneciary partners have

    been able to bring to the devolved

    unds processes. There is a strongcase or KCDF to proactively seek

    out opportunities to share the learn-

    ing gained over time with larger

    NEW OPPORTUNITIES

    21/44

    18

    audiences so that, ultimately, communities can use the

    unds being made available to them constructively or their

    development.

    3. ADvANCES TOWARDS REGIONAL

    INTEGRATION

    The increasing pace o regional integration requiresthat KCDF begin to take advantage o opportunities that

    regionalization oers. The regional integration o East A-

    rican countries has begun to harmonise economic policies

    including trade and tax regimes and to relax and even re-

    move travel restrictions on citizens. This presents an open-

    ing or regional philanthropy that KCDF will increasingly

    sieze in to ensure that it remains relevant in the transition.

    4. THE GLObAL FINANCIAL CRISIS AND

    POLITICAL TRANSITION

    While these trends will all have a direct bearing on

    KCDFs work, the environment in which KCDF will imple-

    ment the Strategic Plan 2009-2013 will be predominantly

    infuenced by the nancial crisis in global markets and

    the political transition in Kenya. Gloomy orecasts or the

    global economy are expected to colour most o 2009 and

    uncertainty in investment markets is predicted beyond.

    The eect o the global nancial meltdown are alreadybeing elt by all Kenyans through rising infation, reduc-

    ing demand or Kenyan exports, unemployment and a

    general slowing o growth o the economy. This presents

    unprecedented pressures on the nances o individuals,

    communities and corporates. Kenya remains characterised

    by unequal economic development creating economic

    disparities rom region to region and wide disparities in

    income even within specic geographies. This is paral-

    leled by dramatic climatic changes that have heavily andnegatively impacted on agricultural productivity - the main-

    stay o the Kenyan economy.

    The evolving structure o Kenyas

    rst coalition government also has

    implications or KCDF eorts to infu-

    ence legislation and policy aecting

    the philanthropy sector. The politicaltransition directly impacts interna-

    tional relations, relationships with

    donors and the private sector all

    o whom are key partners o KCDF

    alongside the general population.

    KCDF must also conront the en-

    during culture o mistrust o public

    giving resulting rom a history o cor-

    ruption and abuse o public unds

    and create resh opportunities or

    trusting one another anew.

    These political, economic, socio-cultural, technological and

    natural environment actors are just some o the infuences

    on our work as we look to the uture. This Strategic Plan

    sought to consolidate and build on the achievements, les-

    sons learned and the challenges o the past.

    Recognition o the changes taking place in the environ-ment prompted KCDF Trustees, Board and sta to refect

    on the enduring values o the Foundation in the present

    context while planning ahead. As a rst step towards the

    planning process an Organisational Learning Assessment,

    1997 to 2008 was undertaken to capture KCDFs experi-

    ences over the previous decade as a basis or inorming

    the next strategic phase. The Assessment conrmed the

    value o capacity building as an essential step in grant-

    making and enhancing the eectiveness and sustainabil-

    ity o community organisations. t kcda A- :

    Releance o the KCDF ision and mission: The

    Assessment re-conrmed the relevance o the vision o

    KCDF. It however pointed at the need to re-word it to

    make it consistent with the work o KCDF on the ground

    and to inspire condence.

    Goernance: The study reconrmed the need to

    retain a structure that assures the public o KCDFs cred-

    ibility as an organisation. This must go in tandem with

    harmonisation o the roles o the Board o Trustees and

    the Board o Directors to ensure greater eciency and

    smooth oversight, with the top decision making organ

    being the Trust. Harmonisation is expected to reduce

    operating costs in the long run, and reduce duplication,hence increasing eciency.

    KCDFs core usiness: The

    Assessment pointed to an urgent

    need to restructure the organisa-

    tion and realign its operations

    to prioritise not just grantmaking

    and capacity building, but also

    to strengthen internal capacityor local resource mobilisation as

    a major arm o the operations o

    the Foundation. Raising resourc-

    es locally is central to KCDFs

    mandate o promoting sustain-

    ability and positioning itsel or

    long term work with undeserved

    communities.

    Profling and communica-

    tion: The Assessment recon-

    rmed the need to invest in prol-

    ing the work o the Foundation

    through appropriate communica-

    tion channels as a key support

    or resource mobilisation.

    Knowledge management:

    There is an opportunity to insti-tutionalise learning approaches

    in KCDFs work, to capture and

    disseminate the invaluable les-

    sons and experience o KCDF as

    a unique organisation in this part

    o the world. This could provide

    opportunities to scale up good

    practice among more actors

    including the government.

    LEARNING FROM THE PAST

  • 8/9/2019 KCDF Strategic Plan 2009-2013

    23/44

    20

    Great strides have been made by KCDF over the past

    decade. Notwithstanding the unique constraints presented

    by the environment in which KCDF continues to operate,

    a number o important achievements have been realised

    and represent important landmarks in the attainment o the

    KCDF vision.

    o paca fcac ac a aa ada KCDF c pd a-ak ad adp k c a pc Ka an achieve-ment that ew can claim. Additionally, there is evidence

    coming out o supported work o eective community

    organising to address issues like education, agriculture,

    water, health as well as local resource mobilisation. In

    this regard, over US $ 3 million in grants has been made

    available to communities to support projects in diverse

    sectors including early childhood development, arts and

    culture, education, the girl child, youth development, HIV/

    AIDS, ood security and access to clean water. Some o

    these communities are now among the 19 communities

    that KCDF has managed to get on board with estab-

    lished community designated unds set up to address their

    preerred issues such as girl child, bursaries or needy

    children, ood security among others hence beginning the

    road to sustainability.

    Institutionally, KCDF has developed solid grant-making

    policies and procedures and established itsel as a cred-

    ible actor in the development arena. It has maintained 11

    years o unqualied audits by reputable rms. The KCDFEndowment Fund is well established and growing, putting

    the Foundation well on its way to the goal o building a

    US $12 million (Kshs. 900 million)

    endowment und by 2013 both

    rom local community und build-

    ers and rom its own institutional

    sustainability initiatives designated

    and undesignated unds. This key

    achievement was recognised byFord Foundation in 2006 when it o-

    ered KCDF US $ 3 million on condi-

    tion that it raises US $1 million. The

    campaign to ull this commitment is

    at an advanced stage. The Endow-

    ment Fund will provide resources

    with which KCDF will identiy and

    support high impact and innovative

    community programmes that are

    geared towards improving welare

    and strengthening community devel-

    opment structures.

    HIGHLIGHT ON KCDF

  • 8/9/2019 KCDF Strategic Plan 2009-2013

    24/44

    21

    The ndings o the Organisational Learning Assessment,

    1997 to 2008 shows KCDF aces persistent challenges

    that remain unanswered as well as newer issues emerg-

    ing rom the growth o the Foundation. Enduring concerns

    include:

    The need to expand the public prole o KCDF without

    tampering with the credible reputation KCDF alreadyenjoys within communities at large. This will support

    and enhance resource mobilisation eorts.

    Recognising that organised philanthropy is still a rela-

    tively new concept in Kenya and KCDF must work to

    create and infuence a policy environment that serves

    eorts to entrench philanthropy in development.

    KCDF must continue its eorts to build condence in

    philanthropy and encourage people to give and volun-

    teer their time.

    The challenge o sharing the tremendous experience

    gained by KCDF over the past 12 years is both a chal-

    lenge and also provides an opportunity o scaling up

    this successul model or development within the wider

    Kenyan community.

    emerging issues

    The KCDF Endowment Fund has

    been built on unds mobilized rom

    the public, corporate and interna-

    tional oundations. Growth o the

    Endowment Fund has highlighted

    the need to indemniy Trustees asthey carry responsibility or this

    public Trust.

    KCDF has grown as an institution

    and with it is the cost o running the

    Foundation along international stan-

    dards. Rationalisation o roles at all

    levels, rom the Board o Directors

    and Trustees, to sta, is necessary

    as an on-going concern. The role o

    the Board will increasingly and o

    necessity, move more to oversight

    and resource mobilisation, as the

    pressure to reach wider public audi-

    ences and institutions increases.

    As a pioneer in the area o philan-

    thropy, there is need or KCDF to

    implement strong knowledge man-

    agement systems as a means o con-

    sciously and continuously building

    and improving on KCDF practice.

    This knowledge can also serve as a

    resource or others entering the eld

    locally, regionally and globally.

    t pp c bd- a ca d-p, p ad aca.In view o the lack o access and knowledge or investment

    options especially among rural communities, KCDF willcontinue to use its investment ramework to benet other

    selected CSOs in need o such expertise, as a mechanism

    to enhance the sustainability o the work they support.

    Towards this goal, KCDF will:

    Facilitate the establishment o community driven sus-

    tainable social and economic development models in

    Kenya, including community endowments.

    Strengthen local institutions (current and prospective

    und builders) through which communities engage in

    identiying priority areas and implementing develop-

    ment initiatives.

    Infuence the policy ramework to improve use o de-

    volved unds, to ensure responsiveness to community

    needs and active participation o community members

    in decision making about issues aecting their uture.

    Since inception, KCDF has acquired a wealth o knowl-

    edge rom working with communities at dierent levels

    and enabling them to address the unique poverty chal-

    lenges they experience. There is a need or KCDF toproactively share its learning and knowledge or wider

    dissemination and to infuence the institutionalization o

    4eective development policies and

    practice by both government and

    other actors - including new ounda-

    tions. Among the opportunities that

    KCDF will harness are:

    Sharing knowledge o working

    with communities to infuence

    better utilisation o devolved

    unds or sustainable develop-

    ment.

    Sharing KCDF experiences in

    responsible grant making with

    actors responsible or govern-

    ment development unds target-

    ing youth, women, HIV/AIDS

    and others. Such actors include

    government, donors and other

    KCDF existing and potential

    partners.

    Dissemination o KCDF experi-

    ences in the development o

    governance structures or ac-

    countability at dierent levels.

    Infuencing emerging regional

    strengthening monitoring & evAluAtion (m&e)

    As A Cross Cutting theme

    The area o monitoring and evaluation has been identi-

    ed as a cross cutting area requiring strengthening.

    The degree o success o this Strategic Plan can only be

    measured by putting in place mechanisms to capture the

    dierence that is being made by KCDF programmes in itswork.

    In addition to the six strategic goals, the area o monitor-

    ing and evaluation is identied as critical to the mission

    o KCDF. There is a need to go beyond the current prac-

    tice o undertaking separate evaluations at the end o a

    programme lie. It is the intention o KCDF to strengthen

    the M&E unction, to make it an integral part o all KCDFs

    programming and operations.

    Recognising that data rom this process will provide a ba-

    sis or sharing and publicising the eectiveness o the work

    that KCDF does, both qualitative and quantitative mea-

    sures will be used to assess the both external and internal

    programmes and processes. This inormation will in turn

    be captured in creative communication about KCDF and

    used to demonstrate the impact o KCDFs interventions.

    Channels or communication will include the KCDF web-

    site, short videos and video clips, annual reports, creativeblogs and various publicity materials. Towards this end,

    KCDF will create opportunities or communities themselves

    to bring out their voices o change through making use

    o technology; Such as developing a community voices

    wwebsite and encouraging community blogging. The

    processes will ully involve grantees to motivate them to

    embrace M&E and show the dierence o their interven-

    tions in tackling development challenges. In this way KCDF

    will build local relevance and make a clear case or localpeople to support the work o the Foundation.

    ipa sacPa a a cca ac-. This includes the need or KCDF to continue atpresent levels o institutional unding as a minimum to

    be able to retain the critical in-house capacity to carry

    orward all the six strategic areas.

    It is also assumed that the social and political context both

    locally and globally will allow or stability in the nancial

    markets and growth o the economy i KCDF is to ull on

    its projected goals. KCDF goals are directly aected by

    currency fuctuations, changes in the investment markets

    both within and outside Kenya and infation which directly

    aects the earnings o members o partner community
