This case study explains the way in which a civil society organization (CSO) can influence policy formulation processes. It examines the process through which the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) influenced policies on energy, the industrialization process and environmental law in Kenya. KAM was a partner in the policies and legislation formulation in conjunction with the Government of Kenya and other CSOs such as the Federation of Kenya Employers, international and local non-governmental organisations such as Energy for Sustainable Development, the African Centre for Technology Studies, and others.
