These are much more numerous than the other categories.The actual number of NPOs could be well above this figure becausethere is no systematic way of obtaining data on youth groups and selfhelpgroups. Some of the districts have not been providing headoffices with accurate data on annual registration of these groups.Furthermore, there are many groups that are operating without registrationunder any of the legal and administrative regimes. Thesegroups, however, fit the criteria of NPOs in many respects. The figures,therefore, are indicative of what is going on, but do not tell the wholestory on the size of the sector. They are, nonetheless, used here to givean idea about the direction of growth of the sector.1 Data for 2000 and 2001 is missing because of gaps in the records of different governmentdepartments. Moreover, no ministries have any data on organisations that ceased to exist.Chapter 2 Growth of The Non-Profit Sector in Kenya 5
