At Saraka, we believe in transparency, accessibility, and the power of information. Our mission is to provide comprehensive, up-to-date, and easy-to-navigate information on Kenyan government agencies, empowering citizens, researchers, businesses, and stakeholders with the knowledge they need to engage with the nation’s public institutions effectively.
Kenya’s government comprises a complex network of agencies, each playing a critical role in shaping policy, delivering public services, and enforcing laws. These agencies operate in diverse sectors such as health, education, finance, infrastructure, security, and social services, and their operations impact the daily lives of millions of Kenyans.
Understanding the roles and responsibilities of these bodies is essential for effective civic engagement, business operations, academic research, and policy advocacy.
Our Purpose
Our primary goal is to simplify access to information about Kenyan government agencies. We recognize that navigating the web of government organizations can be daunting, particularly for citizens who need to interact with these bodies for public services or inquiries.
Whether you are applying for a business permit, looking for healthcare services, or simply seeking information on how government policies are shaped and implemented, Saraka is here to serve as your one-stop reference.
By organizing the vast array of government entities into a clear and user-friendly database, we hope to make this information more accessible not only for everyday citizens but also for policymakers, academics, and international partners looking to engage with Kenyan institutions.
We aim to promote better communication between the government and its people, fostering a more informed and participatory society.
