Negotiating Social Policies in Kenya Mariana S Negotiating Social Kenya in Policies Negotiating This book examines the nature of Kenyan state-society relations through the prisms of two social policies: free primary education and HIV/AIDS prevention and care. It asks: what roles have the enactment of social policies and aid within decision-making arenas played in the con- figuration of the contemporary Kenyan state?; and how have ethnicities and local redistribu- tion of re-sources shaped negotiations within the implementation arenas? It is argued that Ke- nya’s political competition for resources, together with donor-led reforms, eroded government social provision thereby strengthening other means of redistribution that are ethnicity-based. Mariana Cifuentes Montoya is a social researcher from Mexico. She has worked with a range of different organizations in France, Brazil, Kenya and Mexico, including research institutes, government bodies and international organizations. In 2004, she moved to Kenya to work on a participatory governance research project, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, in a poor urban settlement of Nairobi. This experience encouraged her to undertake long-term research on the state-society relations in Kenya. In November 2007 she was admitted to the doctorate programme at the International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam. Mariana is currently living in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea working on access to social services in different ethnic communities. She has an MPhil in Development Studies from the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex (UK, 2000-2002) and a BA in Econo- mics from the University of The Americas (Mexico, 1994-1999).

Doornbos v For Jonathan Acknowledgements Many people come to mind when I think about my last four years at ISS. I would like to thank Jan and Els van Ravens for introducing me to ISS and making my time in the Netherlands special. I thank my supervisory team, whom despite my hesitations and doubts, were able to successfully guide me through to completion. Jim Björkman has been a wonderful promotor. He read through my various manuscripts and tirelessly cor- rected them with his green pen; while also leaving interesting newspaper and magazine articles in my pigeon hole. Jos Mooij has been a great su- pervisor, with a critical mind that was always challenging my assumptions and encouraging me to think further. Martin Doornbos joined my super- visory team in mid-2010. Martin was always there when I needed him, and this was quite often, and therefore, I am greatly indebted to him for all the conversations we had. His insights, as well as his kindness, will accompany me throughout my professional career. In all, it has been a great pleasure working with Jim, Jos and Martin. During the fieldwork phase, Othieno Nyanjom, my field supervisor, provided extended support in Kenya and has now become a friend whom I call often to discuss Kenyan politics. Also, the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis provided institutional support during my field work. In Kenya, many people made the fieldwork phase possible. I would like to thank you all, especially Danson Kibandiko who kindly offered his artwork for the cover of the thesis. I have made many special friends during my time at ISS. Both Linda McPhee and Almas Mahmud were wonderful teachers whom both be- came good friends. Sandy Kamerling and Dieneke van der Waal made the butterfly bar an island of camaraderie within the academic rigour of ISS. Ank van den Berg and Susan Spaa made miracles happen in order for me to get the required visa on time. Renée de Louw always had her door open for me. I met Wicky Meynen, a wonderful woman and friend, Acknowledgements vii thanks to ISS. Paula Bownas provided advice about many different mat- ters, especially at times of need. She has become a dear friend and I am very sad to say good bye to her. Joy Misa is a special member of my ISS family. She is a great artist who has inspired me with her creativity and beautiful voice. I will always remember her performances. I would also like to thank John Sinjorgo, Robin Koers and Sylvia Cat- termole at ISS for their invaluable support during my time at ISS. ILIAD staff was always ready to help. Also, the long opening hours of the li- brary make the life of an obsessed-reading PhD student much easier. I would like to thank my fellow PhD students, especially Akimi, Donald, Pedro, Deniz, Leonardo, Gloria, Bilisuma, Shyamika, Suzanne, Ricardo, Atshuchi, Kai, Rafaela, Tamara, Stephania, Alberto, Renate and Reko among many other more, who have made my time at ISS so spe- cial. Either laughing or complaining together at lunch in the cafeteria will always make me smile. Among the PhD students there are two women whom became very close friends, and I am in indebted to them both. Shuchi Karim fed me with many stories from Bangladesh as well as with her aromatic curries. I have learnt a great deal from her and feel very proud of calling her my friend. Similarly Ariane Corradi added many pos- itive things to my life. She inspired me with her hard work as well as making me appreciate the beauty of Dutch beer. I owe her good memo- ries despite my constant stress of deadlines. These friendships have greatly enriched my life and I am very grateful for them. I would like to express special thanks to my parents, two sisters and my grandparents who encouraged me to study and to believe in myself. Their support motivated me to keep going despite the unconventional choices I have made. I am thankful for their unconditional love. Finally, I am indebted to my husband Jonathan Caseley. He has always given good advice, read through innumerable documents and given his point of view. Throughout these last years we have come closer together showing me how lucky I am to share my life with him.
