The study was conducted in two urban slums and a rural settlement. Findings show there is a mismatch between the data citizens demand and the data the Kenya portal and other intermediaries have provided. Most people go to local information intermediaries instead of government data portals. Crucial to success and sustainability is attention to local contexts when designing and implementing open data initiatives.application/pdfenOPEN DATA FOR DEVELOPMENTOD4DOPEN GOVERNMENTINTERMEDIARIESMARGINALIZATIONINFORMAL SETTLEMENTSACCESS TO INFORMATIONCIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTSICT SECTORPOLITICAL WILLRIGHT TO INFORMATIONOPEN DATAKENYASOUTH OF SAHARACase Study
