As the global order shifts, Africa needs its strongest voices at decision-making tables. Kenya must fully lobby for Professor Nkatha Murungi, nominated to represent East Africa on the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. #Lobby @KenyaEmbAddis

Minimum Wage and Age remain most contentious amongst governments, trade unions, employers and vulnerable families with limited social protection, making it difficult to agree on ratify the ILO Convention on Domestic Workers and Conditions of Work.

Ratifying ILO Convention 189 must speak to the realities of child domestic workers, otherwise it remains a diplomatic facade. https://t.co/w9ZACNOkKS

@SDGsKenyaForum @agengocarole @syevuo @EU_YSBKenya @EUinKenya @FemnetProg @Laxmana_Kiptoo @ngoboardkenya @VSOKenya This is an urgent agenda, especially in the face of cuts in ODA. We need to local and public financing such as for initiatives that benefit children. Operationalizing the PBO Act clauses on financing local NGOs will complement the Children Act 2022 provision on Child Welfare Fund

[Coalition for Sustainable Development @SDGsKenyaForum]

📜 Enacted in 2013, the PBO Act offers a solid legal framework for CSOs in Kenya.

But over 10 years later, it remains unimplemented, restricting:

❌ Legal recognition
❌ Access to funding
❌ Civic engagement

[Coalition for Sustainable Development @SDGsKenyaForum]

@FemnetProg @VSOKenya 1️⃣ . Who are the key actors?

From regulators and government ministries to CSOs, donors, and communities, each stakeholder plays a crucial role in actualizing the PBO Act.
