The Agile and Harmonized Assistance for Devolved Institutions (AHADI) under the auspices of USAID (USAID / AHADIKenya) is implementing a Legislative Strengthening Program in support of the Nairobi City County Assembly.
The Program invites applications from highly motivated young Kenyans interested in participating in its Junior Legislative Fellows Programme.
The programme, which in 2015/2016 will run within the context of the new devolved constitutional dispensation, is a unique opportunity for university graduates interested in a legislative and public service career to link their theoretical knowledge with the actual work of legislation and public policy formulation.
During the 9-month programme, Junior Fellows will be exposed to Kenya’s legislative environment under the devolved system and have an opportunity to work with elected representatives as well as build their leadership skills.
Junior Fellows work closely with Assembly committees and technical departments, such as, the Research, Procedural and Budget Office of the Nairobi County Assembly.
