About us

Our History

The Coast Regional Budget Hub is among the four hubs: The Nairobi Eastern and Central (NEC) Hub, The Rift Valley Hub, and the Lake Region Hub, established by Bajeti Hub, formerly International Budget Partnership Kenya. Since 2015, Bajeti Hub has trained a pool of over 100 Budget facilitators in the 47 Counties. In 2021, to synergize and increase the collective action of the trained Budget facilitators, the facilitators within the same region were joined to form a platform called the Regional Budget Hubs, hosted by County-Based Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) within their respective areas. The hubs serve as focal platforms that unite regional voices facing similar socio-economic challenges, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing.

The Coast Regional Budget Hub, from its inception in April 2021 until 2023, was hosted by Local Empowerment for Good Governance (LENGGO), based in Mombasa, Kenya.

Our Vision

A leading platform for participatory budgeting, ensuring equitable resource allocation and improved public services across the coastal region

Our Mission

Empowering communities through inclusive and transparent budgetary processes that drive sustainable regional development

What we do

The Coast Regional Hub builds communities’ collective capacity to engage effectively and mobilizes participation in the budget-making processes at the county, regional, and national levels. The CRBH achieves this through continuous capacity building of budget champions and communities in budget processes, research, and budget analysis for evidence-based advocacy engagement and network building with stakeholders. The Hub has over 15 budget facilitators and over 300 budget champions across the Coast.

Since 2021, our key focus has been thematic and sector-focused. Thematically, CRBH interventions have been on Access to budget Information and Transparency, citizen-government engagements, Equity and budget inclusion, Budget implementation and service delivery, and water, health, and education.
