Integrated Development Network (IDN-Kenya) is an international NGO formed in 2016 and registered by the NGOs Co-ordination Board in the Republic of Kenya. The organization was formed through joint indigenous intellectual efforts with the help of the local appealing force on the ground.
Integrated Development Network (IDN-Kenya) is an independent, not for profit making organization that focuses on; research and monitoring on governance, security, peace, cohesion, youth empowerment, anti-radicalization, anti-violent extremism and ethics issues in both the public and private sectors so as to address the emerging structural challenges in Kenya and the region. The overall objective of our programme activities is: to promote the implementation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010; strengthen anti-corruption efforts and good governance through collective efforts with like-minded social partners both locally and internationally. Our reports, policy briefs and overall work add value by stimulating policy discussions and reform processes for the mutual benefit of citizens, stakeholders, country and region.
“The formation of IDN was prompted by sad effects of the disputed 2007 general election and its subsequent violent post election crisis that resulted in social-economic setbacks.

Though Kenya was able to secure a new constitution in 2010, and though the 2013 general election was by and large peaceful it was also very tense particularly due to the petition lodged by the CORD coalition against the results of the presidential elections. The year 2016 /17 witnessed violent protests around the question of the IEBC”
“In the history of Africa, the 2017 Presidential Election was the first where the Supreme Court nullified the results. A repeat of the Presidential election polarised the entire Nation, leading to unprecedented demos and counter demos, economic boycotts and sabotage.
