The Kenyan Constituency Development Fund (CDF) was introduced in 2003 during the Kibaki presidency.
The fund was designed to support constituency-level, grass-root development projects.[1] It was aimed to achieve equitable distribution of development resources across regions and to control imbalances in regional development brought about by partisan politics.[2] It targeted all constituency-level development projects, particularly those aiming to combat poverty at the grassroots.[3] The CDF program has facilitated the putting up of new water, health and education facilities in all parts of the country, including remote areas that were usually overlooked during funds allocation in national budgets.[4][5]
