Kenya Open Data Initiative
In July 2011, the Kenyan government launched Africa's first national open data initiative -- the Kenya Open Data Initiative (KODI). KODI aims to make public government data accessible to all Kenyans, and to encourage data-driven decision making in government.
The Kenyan government believes that by making data public via KODI, government transparency and accountability will improve.

Kenya: Women call for sex ban on country's men
AFP - (May 1st, 2009) Women's activist groups in Kenya have called for a seven-day sex ban on the country's men in an attempt to shock the political class into overcoming bitter feuds and working together.
"This is a national boycott to show that the women of this country have resolved to push for reforms," Rukia Subow of Maendeleo ya Wanawake of the G10 umbrella of Kenyan women's organisations said late Wednesday.
