Co-design.  This should be the approach for most if not all government projects especially in Kenya where most projects greatly lack Stakeholder participation. The idea should always be to know the problem from the beneficially and Co design a solution with them included. Alot of critics on the standard gauge railway  #sgr could have been avoided that way.   But then,  for major national projects,  how do you chose the representative Stakeholder sample and how do you ensure information trickles down to most if not all beneficiaries?

In Kenya there are a lot of networks which could be used to address stakeholders, such as KEWASNET, Kenya Water and Sanitation Network or HENNET, the Health NGO Network, for more wider public health engagement. HENNET stimulates the linkage between the Ministry of Health, Private Sector and the NGO's.

Given the scarcity of capital and willingness of the local stakeholders/ beneficiaries, it is always possible to design the project/ process/ construction so that operation and maintenance is cost-effective and capital costs is also optimised. A lot of times, project design and hence capex itself is too high just because of wrong assumptions made in selection of technology and materials..
