Abstract: Citizen participation is widely recognised as a key strategy for improving governance by increasing the efficiency of public service delivery, government responsiveness to local needs, and accountability for public expenditure. This study, aims at providing an understanding of the extent of citizens’ participation in the agriculture sector. Household’s decision to participate greatly influenced by their experience in participation in development meetings in the past. The study, therefore, recommends that the county governments should create a greater awareness of the development programmes and projects and support community-based organisations in civic education to enhance awareness besides the already existing channels of communication.
