The creation of the Constituencies Development Fund through the Constituencies Development Fund Act of 2003 was a noble gesture towards equitable distribution of resources and steering development from below. The Act vests upon the members of parliament power to manage the fund through the constituency development committee. However the Act gives members of parliament direct access to state resources to further their own interests thereby undermining efficiency in resource use. The book reveals that low level of political institutionalization is favored by the political elite in Kenya as it creates an enabling environment for wealth accumulation through corruption. Loopholes in the Act establishing the kitty has seen Constituencies Development Fund emerge as a new platform for political patronage The fund is a tool for mobilizing support at the grass root level through initiation of development projects in exchange for votes. The book is meant for students pursuing Political Science and Development studies both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and scholars interested in research on the performance and challenges of decentralization of development resources in Kenya.

Recent efforts in national planning in Kenya have sought to identify development priorities through consultations. The Government of Kenya, in its effort to eradicate poverty and to promote pro-poor growth, established the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) under the Constituencies Development Fund Act of December 2003. This study sought to investigate whether the CDF has improved the livelihoods and welfare of women and girls in the Kenyan society and whether women are being enabled to participate more visibly in the local development processes. The objectives of this study were: To investigate the needs and priorities of males and females with regard to CDF projects as perceived by them; To establish the differences that may exist between the sexes in terms of awareness of the CDF and in terms of participation in CDF management, in project identification and implementation and in other decision-making processes that determine how these funds are invested; To evaluate the distributive impact of the CDF projects in the health and education sectors; To investigate the factors or challenges for the achievement of greater parity and for the attainment of CDF objectives; and to put forward policy recommendations.
