A database of NGOs in Kenya is available for download. You can search all NGOs to district level and by program area (e.g. water, health, education).
The database (.mdb) and list of NGOs (.xls) is available at www.vanessaliston.com/docs.
An improved, (better written!) version of the database is coming online in the next week or two. That will also more current information on NGOs in Kenya.
I am very interested to hear from researchers interested in collaborating on papers on this data.
The Directory of Development Organizations website also provides a list of NGOs as a .pdf file both worldwide and in Kenya. See http://www.devdir.org/
