Jennifer N. Brass studies how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and governments interact in developing countries, especially in the delivery of public services like health and education. Much of her work focuses on Sub-Saharan Africa, using Kenya as a detailed case study to examine how NGOs relate to the state, affect governance, and shape democratic participation. Her research also touches on broader themes in development theory and civil society.
