What is the National Forum for Equity and Development (NFD)?

NFD is a people-centered movement committed to advancing equity, justice, and sustainable development in Kenya. It seeks to rebuild public trust, empower citizens, and make governance more accountable to all.

NFD is not a traditional political party — it is a civic-driven movement. Our goal is to nurture participatory democracy, influence public policy, and promote citizen-led governance.

NFD emerged from Kenya’s ongoing struggle with inequality, corruption, and exclusion. It is rooted in the belief that citizens must reclaim their power to shape public policy and development priorities.
