Is the IED affiliated to any political organization or a particular political movement?
The IED is not affiliated to any political organization or political movement. IED is a public, non-partisan, non-profit organization that is not afflicted to any political party, pressure group or religious body. The organization was established to promote and further democracy through civic and voter education. In addition, IED believes that by strengthening the democratic process in Kenya, the socio-economic conditions of the country will improve. The Institutes activities are implemented mainly through donor funding. This occasionally places IED in a difficult position because IEDs focus does not always coincide with donor interests. However, IED remains committed to the course of seeking new avenues of fund-raising to help enhance its resource base and thereby enable the Institute to carry out more of its intended work in the country,in the regions beyond and beyond.
