Education should be one of the most heavily funded sectors because it shapes the brain-power and future of our society.For many children in underprivileged communities, a school meal is the only meal they get all day.Our children deserve better!@KeTreasury 💔

[Citizen TV Kenya @citizentvkenya]

No more school feeding:

Uproar over withdrawal of school feeding funds. Treasury scrapped Ksh.4.9b allocation for program

Education PS Belio Kipsang pleads with MPs to restore financing. More than 4 million learners depend on school feeding program

Young people across Kenya are being called upon to take a more active role in shaping the country’s democratic future—a message echoed during the Global Democracy Coalition Africa Forum on March 28, featured on @KBCChannel1 News.

With youth representing the largest demographic in Kenya, speakers underscored the urgent need to equip them with the knowledge, tools, and platforms to influence policy and governance meaningfully.

@owillice, Executive Director of @TheYouthCafe, highlighted how democracy is deeply connected to wider issues like climate change, environmental justice, and human rights.

@mayvnne, also representing @TheYouthCafe, stressed that understanding the root causes of democratic decline is essential: “If you don't shape your future, someone will shape it for you.”

Elisenda Balleste Buxo, Coordinator of the @GloDemCoalition, encouraged young leaders to remain solution-oriented: “Keep fighting, be respectful, and bring solutions to the table.”

Kevin Waigwa from @NuruTrustKenya painted a hopeful vision of a society grounded in freedom, peace, and the nurturing of talent.

And @Kennedy_sankara of the @nyckenyasec reminded us all that the fight against corruption must go beyond words—it requires real accountability.

The forum served as a powerful reminder that democracy requires active participation, not passive observation. It thrives when young people are informed, engaged, and empowered.

I had the privilege of attending the GDC Africa Regional Forum organized by @TheYouthCafe @GloDemCoalition on 28th March 2025. It was an insightful space. Here is the link to my published article on my key takeaways from the event: https://t.co/bPhUdzLmxl

🌍 World Café Group Discussions – #GDCForum2025

Key discussions on governance, civic engagement, environmental justice, and youth activism brought critical insights:

✅ Challenges: Limited funding, shrinking civic space, and weak institutions hinder democracy.
✅ Solutions: Use technology for engagement, strengthen grassroots movements, and promote youth-driven accountability.
✅ Environmental Justice: Africa needs stronger representation, local solutions, and policy action at the community level.
✅ Sustaining Activism: Moving beyond protests through electoral participation and institutional reforms.

Amb. Michael Mutisi on Strengthening Democracy at #GDCForum2025

"Democracy is not about abolition but about creating spaces for diverse people and promoting peace and stability." – Amb. Michael Mutisi, Deputy Director, Multilateral Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs

🔹 How Can the Ministry Support Democracy?

✅ Strengthening global governance to safeguard democracy for future generations.
✅ Ensuring Kenyan policies hold weight internationally while maintaining local governance integrity.
✅ Public review of human rights policies to overcome governance challenges.

🔥 Key Measures for a Thriving Democracy:

🔹 Respect for the rule of law as a foundation for governance.
🔹 Kenyan foreign policy must champion global frameworks like the Paris Agreement for climate action.
🔹 Fighting corruption to ensure democracy benefits all, not just the wealthy.
🔹 Formalizing the UN Human Rights Office in Nairobi to strengthen human rights governance.
🔹 Governments must prioritize accountability and institutional reforms by increasing budgets for democratic governance.
