📍STANDING IN SOLIDARITY WITH DAVID KATANA

On Thursday, 12th November 2026, Youth4 Integrity Building stood in solidarity with David Katana Juma, a human rights and environmental defender from Mnarani, Kilifi County, at the Kilifi Law Courts. David’s case is deeply connected to a wider question about the protection of community land, public resources and the right of citizens to speak up when they believe these are under threat.

He has since been sentenced to one year of non-custodial service, with an eight-month probation period.

We respect the rule of law and the judicial process. However, we must continue asking an important question: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘶𝘱 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦? Defending community rights, questioning the use of public resources and advocating for environmental justice should never be grounds for intimidation. We stand in solidarity with David Katana. The protection of human rights defenders must be reflected not only in our laws, but also in how we safeguard the space for people to exercise their rights.

Public interest deserves a voice. Those who defend it deserve protection.

📍The 2026 Africa Anti-Corruption Dialogue | Taking the integrity conversation beyond borders.

@ForIntegrityOrg (YIB) participated in the 2026 Africa Anti-Corruption Dialogue organized by @AUABC_ , held under the theme “The Scaling Up of Integrity and Anti-Corruption Actions Across Africa.”

The dialogue provided an important platform for engaging with perspectives, experiences and approaches to strengthening integrity and advancing anti-corruption efforts across the continent. Beyond engaging with the discussions, we used the platform to raise important questions about transparency, access to information and institutional accountability, drawing attention to ongoing developments in Kenya, including the delayed public release of the IMF Governance and Anti-Corruption Diagnostic Report.

We also contributed to the forward-looking conversations by submitting a proposed theme for the 2027 Dialogue: “𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘖𝘶𝘵: 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘪-𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢.” Our proposed theme recognizes that the fight against corruption depends not only on strong laws and institutions but also on protecting the people who expose wrongdoing, challenge impunity and demand accountability.

For YIB, continental dialogues must be more than spaces for exchanging commitments. They should create opportunities to challenge existing approaches, amplify community experiences and influence practical action. We remain committed to advancing integrity, citizen participation and accountability, from our communities in Kilifi to the wider African continent.

📍SOLIDARITY WITH PETER KOMORA

Today, @ForIntegrityOrg stood in solidarity with Peter Komora at the Kilifi Law Courts.

Those who defend community land rights, environmental justice and human dignity should never have to face their struggles in isolation. We respect the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary. Equally, we believe that justice must never be used to intimidate, discourage or silence legitimate human rights advocacy. The protection of human rights defenders is not a favour; it is an obligation under our constitutional and international human rights commitments.

We stand with Peter Komora and all those who continue to defend community rights and the public interest.

The courage to defend rights must never be met with fear.

💻 Beyond the Notes: Are We Preparing Young People for the Real Digital World?

At @ForIntegrityOrg (YIB), we believe digital skills development must go beyond teaching young people how to operate technology. It must also prepare them to critically navigate, question and responsibly participate in the digital world.

This week, our Executive Director Ms. @Damarisaswa took time with our #ChanukaNaDigiSkills Cluster_9 learners to revisit key concepts, not to test how much they could memorize, but to understand how deeply they understand and could apply what they had learned. The conversations went deeper into two particularly important areas: 𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘍𝘢𝘤𝘵-𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭-𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨. We explored how misinformation, disinformation and malinformation are created, manipulated and amplified; how to interrogate information, verify claims using available fact-checking tools, and avoid becoming conduits for harmful narratives. We also examined how digital platforms influence our perceptions, behaviours and well-being, including social media pressure, curated lifestyles, unhealthy comparisons, cyberbullying, online harassment, privacy and digital safety.

One question guided much of our reflection:
𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆, 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆, 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒚 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆, 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒆, 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒎, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆?

Through practical scenarios, critical reflection and the spirit of #Ubuntu, we challenged learners to recognize that our digital actions have real-world consequences. Because we don’t just want young people who know how to use technology. We want young people who can distinguish truth from manipulation, protect their digital well-being, challenge harmful narratives and use technology to advance positive change. We believe, that is what meaningful digital empowerment should look like.

📍 YOUTH DEVOLUTION FESTIVAL 2026 | Youth participation, democratic governance and peaceful elections.

@ForIntegrityOrg (YIB) was represent at the Youth Devolution Festival 2026, held on 29–30 October in Kilifi County, under the theme “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘒𝘦𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘞𝘦 𝘞𝘢𝘯𝘵: 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.” The conversations highlighted an important question: 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬?

Beyond exercising their right to vote, young people must have the knowledge, opportunities and platforms to engage in public affairs, influence decisions and participate in leadership and governance. The discussions also reinforced the importance of integrity, transparency, accountability and responsible political participation in building public trust and sustaining peaceful democratic processes. Trust is earned, not imposed. Leadership must be grounded in integrity, accountability, transparency and respect for the people. As young people, we have a responsibility to champion peaceful civic participation, demand responsible leadership and promote issue-based politics over personality-driven politics. At YIB, we believe that meaningful civic participation requires informed, active and empowered citizens. Our democratic responsibilities do not begin and end on election day. The Kenya we want must be shaped by the voices, choices and active participation of its young people.

📍 Data Protection in the Civic Space | Session 4 of 5

We recently rejoined fellow civil society organizations in Kilifi County for another session of the Data Protection in the Civic Space programme, implemented by @amnesty - Kenya in partnership with @maono_space and #DPO360. Unlike the earlier sessions, this gathering offered an opportunity to revisit key lessons, reflect on progress, and check how participating organizations have been implementing what they learned about privacy, responsible data handling, and compliance with Kenya’s Data Protection Act, 2019.

At @ForIntegrityOrg (YIB), we are proud that our commitment to turning learning into action has translated into a tangible milestone. We were among four organizations out of all participating CSOs commended for completing the required compliance steps, including successfully registering with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC). The recognition came with an additional branded polo shirt, alongside the certificate of participation awarded to everyone. For us, protecting information is part of practising integrity, strengthening accountability, and safeguarding the trust of the communities we serve.

We appreciate Amnesty International - Kenya, Maono Space, DPO360, and our fellow participating organizations for this valuable learning journey.

📍 Investment, integrity and inclusive development: Reflections from Day Two of #WIF2026

Doha, Qatar | 25–27 October 2026

How do we turn investment into sustainable development?

At the World Investment Forum 2026, several developments stood out to us at @ForIntegrityOrg (YIB).

1. Modernising investment rules

UNCTAD launched its Guiding Principles for International Investment Agreements Reform and announced technical assistance to help developing countries improve investment facilitation, transparency and procedures.

The lesson? Investment commitments need effective institutions and practical reforms to deliver results.

2. Advancing women’s entrepreneurship

The 2026 UNCTAD Empretec Women in Business Awards celebrated women entrepreneurs across leadership, sustainability, innovation and technology. Uganda’s Sandra Letio of Pelere Group Limited was recognised for building an agribusiness working with over 5,000 smallholder farmers.

This is a reminder of the potential of locally rooted enterprises to strengthen livelihoods and expand economic opportunities.

3. Investing in the digital economy

The United Nations Investment Promotion Awards recognised agencies and a special economic zone for attracting investment in the digital economy. For YIB, this reinforces the importance of ensuring that digital transformation translates into accessible opportunities for young people and underserved communities.

What does this mean for Kenya?

Our work in integrity building, civic engagement and community accountability reminds us that development depends not only on resources, but also on transparent decisions, accountable institutions and meaningful public participation.

At #WIF2026, we are learning, exchanging ideas and initiating connections that we hope will grow into practical collaborations supporting inclusive, accountable and community-led development.

Investment should be measured not only by the capital it attracts, but by the opportunities it creates, the institutions it strengthens and the lives it improves.

📍 Igniting Integrity, One Choice at a Time | #ChanukaNaDigiSkills

Corruption is rarely sustained by one act alone. It can thrive through everyday compromises, unchecked power, silence, weak accountability, and systems that allow wrongdoing to go unchallenged.

𝐒𝐨, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐚 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲?

During our #Integrity_Session with Cluster 9, we went beyond defining integrity. We challenged assumptions, examined real-life examples of corruption from grassroots communities to global systems, and explored how our choices can enable corruption or help prevent it.

At the heart of the conversation was our integrity formula:

𝐈 = 𝐚(𝐀 + 𝐂 + 𝐄) − 𝐜

Answerability. Competence. Ethical behaviour. Strengthened by anti-corruption mechanisms.

We connected these principles to responsible AI use, ethical decision-making, and Ubuntu, the recognition that our humanity is bound up with that of others.

This work matters. As the global anti-corruption community focuses on igniting integrity and exposing the links between corruption and crime, young people must be equipped not only to recognise wrongdoing, but to question, challenge, and help change the conditions that allow it to persist.

That is part of advancing #SDG_16: peaceful, just and inclusive societies, supported by effective, accountable institutions.

📍 Happy Africa Human Rights Day! 🇰🇪

Human rights must be more than promises on paper. They must be felt in our communities, reflected in public decisions, and protected in people’s everyday lives.

As we commemorate the adoption of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, let’s remember that dignity, justice, development, and a healthy environment are rights to be upheld not privileges to be granted.

From the heroes who fought for Kenya’s freedom to the everyday heroes who inspire us, stand by us, and make a difference in our communities, every shujaa has a story worth celebrating.

This Mashujaa Day, we asked some of our staff and beneficiaries: 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘶𝘫𝘢𝘢, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘺? Their stories remind us that heroism is not only found in our history books, but also in the people who shape our lives, uplift our communities, and give us hope for a better Kenya.

It’s been another productive week for our #ChanukaNaDigiSkills Cluster 9 learners! From exploring Microsoft Publisher to working with Microsoft Access, our learners have been putting theory into practice by designing, organizing information, solving problems, and sharpening their digital capabilities. Because knowing what a tool does is one thing. Having the confidence to use it independently is where the real transformation begins.

📌 More practice. More challenges. More progress.

📍From community realities to continental policy: Advancing water justice and accountability.

@ForIntegrityOrg (YIB) was represented at the @AU_ECOSOCC E-Symposium on Water and Sanitation, contributing perspectives from Kilifi County, Kenya, through our Kilifi Women for Water Justice Initiative. During the discussions, we raised important questions about accountability in water investments, the role of community-generated data in informing water budgets and service delivery, and the need to ensure that women and young people can see how their contributions influence decisions.

One message resonated throughout the symposium: water security is not achieved simply by building infrastructure. It requires sustainable financing, effective governance, community participation and accountability for the services people actually receive. As discussions move towards consolidating practical policy recommendations, we hope that the experiences of communities, particularly women and young people who face barriers to reliable water access, will remain central to the process.

📍Kilifi Women for Water Justice Initiative (#KW4WJ) | Women’s Healing Circles

Water insecurity doesn’t just leave taps dry; it can leave women emotionally exhausted, overwhelmed and unheard. Through our #WaterWithIntegrity campaign and the Women’s Monthly Healing Circles, we are creating safe, supportive spaces where women can share their experiences, find strength in one another, and navigate the emotional and social burdens of water insecurity. Because water justice is about more than access to water. It is about women’s dignity, wellbeing and the right to be heard.

When women come together, healing becomes collective, solidarity grows, and voices become stronger.

📌 Implemented in Ganze and Magarini sub-counties, Kilifi County, by @ForIntegrityOrg (YIB) with support from #WaterJusticeFund by @wateraidnl, in collaboration with community members, relevant @KilifiCountyGov departments, @KIMAWASCO, @MawascoLtd, and other stakeholders.
