The National Democratic Institute (NDI) deployed an international delegation to Kenya from April 3 - 7, 2017. The purpose of the mission was to assess preparations for Kenya's August 2017 elections. The consultations examined election preparations, assessed the political environment, and offered recommendations that Kenyan citizens, civil society, political parties, and the government can take to ensure the integrity and peacefulness of the electoral process. NDI will continue its observation with a mission on election day. NDI’s international pre-election assessment mission in Kenya is funded by a grant from the United States Agency for International Development.
