Community Based Organizations (CBOs) Umder Kenya Company Law

Community based organizations are administered in Kenya by the Department of Social Services under the Ministry of Culture and Social Services.The civic organizations ordinarily registered under this option consist of community groups operating in fairly limited administrative areas such as locations and divisions within the district.The majority of such organizations are self-help groups that are involved in commercial or developmental activities for the benefit of a community in a geographical area.Such organizations operate in a relatively ad-hoc manner and do not have a constitution or any rules that govern them.enewal of the registration is required to be made annually, although the District Social Development office rarely enforces this requirement.Whereas CBOs are not registered as societies under the Societies Act, where the activities of a particular CBO is deemed by the Registrar of Societies to be of a nature requiring that it be registered as a society, then he may, by notice, require that the CBO concerned apply for registration as a society under the Act.
