Constituency Development Fund (CDF) is one of the ingenious innovations of the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) Government of Kenya. Unlike other development funds that filter from the central government through larger and more layers of administrative organs and bureaucracies, funds under this program go directly to local levels and thus provide people at the grassroots the opportunity to make expenditure decisions that maximize their welfare consistent with the theoretical predictions of decentralization theory.

To ensure that a specific portion of the Government annual ordinary revenue is devoted to the constituencies for purpose of development and in particular in the fight against poverty at the constituency level.

What are the terms of office of the CDC members?.
The terms of office is two years and eligible for reappointment for one further term of two years.

Who monitors the CDF projects?
The Wananchi, the Locational Development Committees, Constituencies Development Committee, the District Project Committees, the Constituencies Fund committees, the National Management Committee, the Departmental heads the and all the stakeholders.

Which projects can be funded by CDF?
Community based projects, which ensure that the prospective benefits are available to a widespread cross-section of the inhabitants of a particular area.

Who audits the CDF expenditures?
The Internal Auditors from the Fund and external auditors from the controller and auditor general.
