BeNCH Offenders Study by Michael Soper.
Needs assessment was commissioned by the BeNCH group.
The context of the needs assessment is the significant changes being made to offender rehabilitation services
The broad conclusion is that newly commissioned services will need to take account of the unique profile of offenders and offending within the BeNCH area.
Close cooperation between the new Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC), National Probation Service (NPS), Police and Crime Commissioners and with Community Safety Partnerships who have an understanding of their own ‘patch’ would be the ideal way to achieve this.

Ghanaians Evaluations of Public Service Delivery Afrobarometer
In this second release of Afrobarometer Round 6 survey results in Ghana, the citizens assess Government performance in the delivery of public services. For this and many check out this presentation which was delivered on November 13, 2014
Part of the Social Norms and Accountable Governance (SNAG) project by the Africa Programme at Chatham House, which seeks context-specific solutions to address collective action problems like corruption, through an evidence-based understanding of the drivers that sustain these problems. https://www.chathamhouse.org/about/structure/africa-programme/social-norms-and-accountable-governance
The republic of Kenya comprises of eight (8) provinces now forty-seven counties. The country is located in East Africa and shares land borders with the Republics of Somalia in the East, Uganda in the West, Tanzania in the South and Ethiopia and Sudan (now South Sudan) in the North. The three largest and most influential ethnic groups in Kenya are the kikuyu, Luhya, and Kalenjins. In terms of religion Kenya is roughly split into 80% Christians while the rest are Muslims.
In Kenya, general elections are carried out every after five years where a head of state the President and The National Assembly representatives are elected. They are elected by the people. The national Assembly has about 220 members representing respective constituencies.
In the Local Governments they have the chairman and the Counselor. The counselors are all elected by the people of the state in the respective wards.
That is to say, in any given general elections, Kenyans vote for the president, the members of the National Assembly and the counselors.
Most African Electoral bodies IEBC not an exception right from their inception to date, even with latest advancements in technology, still use a primitive paper based methods during voting; this system is characterized by manual form filling to chose leaders and transfer of the information from manual data capture forms to computerized datasheets, this has led to an excessive number of mistakes making their way into the final vote counts hence leading to confusion at the time of announcing the results. The main advantage of paper-based systems is that ballot papers are easily human auditable. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages for instance the need to print ballot papers is a slow, expensive, inflexible, environmentally hostile process, visual impairments, or literacy limitations and also last minute changes to the voter register are difficult to accommodate among others.
