1.0: Background:
The Committee of Experts (CoE) on the Constitutional Review is an independent body established under the provisions of the Constitution of Kenya Review Act 20081. (The Review Act).
The core work of the CoE is to analyze the existing draft constitutions, identify contentious issues, invite proposals from Kenyans on what they think their solutions are on those and then publicize a harmonized draft constitution to be presented to a national referendum by March 2010
In pursuance of Section 6, 23 and 35 (1) of the Review Act, the CoE is mandated to facilitate CE in order to stimulate public discussion and awareness on constitutional issues.
As it developed its CE Strategy, the CoE was cognizant of the fact that there is general cynicism and apathy among Kenyans about the constitution review process mainly because of the history of constitution making in Kenya, and failure of governance structures to foster peace, economic growth and social harmony.
In view of this, the CoE intends to develop a simplified interactive CE Curriculum that will demystify constitutional issues and facilitate understanding, appreciation and effective public participation in the current review process.
The curriculum is intended for use by the CoE, CSOs partnering with CoE in delivering CE, CE facilitators, CE provincial and constituency coordinators and other actors identified for civic education by the CoE.
To achieve this, the CoE is looking for the following consultants.
