  • Increasing Citizen Demand for Good Government in Kenya⇤
    Increasing Citizen Demand for Good Government in Kenya⇤ Kelly Zhang Stanford University May 2012 Abstract In developing democracies, those living in poverty often have the numerical strength to demand government responsiveness but often do not do so. How can information campaigns prompt these citizens to take action? This pilot field experiment explores how variation in the content of an information campaign can impact political behavior in villages. The first intervention provides a report card detailing politician spending in constituency development projects, to see if villagers respond to unaccounted for money in locally visible projects. The second intervention couples the report card with a public participation flyer, to see if information about legal rights and decision-making processes is necessary for citizens to use the report card to take action. Political knowledge and attitudes appear una↵ected by the materials, and the report card itself appears insufficient to impact behavior. Only when the report card is provided with information about public participation is there an increase in the local monitoring of public goods. Willingness to monitor local development projects managed by the politician appears to vary with social access to public leaders. The findings suggest that information campaigns can potentially prompt citizens with political connections to engage in monitoring a politician’s performance in local development projects, even outside of election years. ⇤Acknowledgments: I would like to thank David Laitin, Jeremy Weinstein, and Pascaline Dupas for their patience in providing feedback on multiple iterations of this paper. Special thanks also go to Shanto Iyengar, Ted Miguel, Mo Fiorina, Kennedy Opalo, Willa Friedman, Eric Kramon, Jessica Gottlieb, Gianmarco Leon, Katherine Casey, Risa Kitagawa, and Melina Platas for many insightful comments and suggestions along the way.
