1. Background

The Kenya Alliance of Resident Associations (KARA), established in 2000, is the apex umbrella body representing the collective voice of resident associations in Kenya. For 25 years, KARA has championed citizen participation, good governance, sustainable urban development, and improved service delivery across Kenya’s neighborhoods. Through robust advocacy, policy dialogue, and partnerships with national and county governments, KARA has become a trusted voice in urban governance, promoting safer, cleaner, and more inclusive cities. Its footprint spans over 400 registered resident associations and partnerships with numerous civil society, development, and private sector organizations.
