Frankline Muthomi
Frankline Muthomi is a Ph.D. candidate in Public Administration at Northern Illinois University. His research focuses on how individuals, groups, and communities can influence and change budgetary decisions in local governments. While there is a wide range of research on citizen participation, I tend to focus on participatory budgeting practices in Kenya’s local governments and the lessons they can provide US local governments.
