From policy analysis to coordinated action: KECOSCE convened a multi-stakeholder coordination forum in Kilifi County, bringing together Technical Working Group members, CSOs, the County Gender Department, the County Commissioner’s Office and national government gender officers to validate findings on county policies, CIDPs and budgets against KNAP III (2025–2029).

Stakeholders provided input and a committee was established to align the validated findings with the newly localized County WPS Action Plan, strengthening coordination and advocacy for dedicated budget allocations to advance women’s meaningful participation and leadership in peace and security. @tendasasa @denmarkinkenya

Turning conflict into dialogue. Turning dialogue into peace.
Through mediation training, Women have gained practical skills in active listening, effective communication, conflict analysis, negotiation, problem-solving and impartial dispute resolution.

Now, they are equipped to bridge differences, resolve disputes and strengthen peaceful, cohesive communities.

Let’s turn these skills into action and make dialogue our first response to conflict.

Inclusion is at the heart of lasting peace: Persons with disabilities are not just part of the conversation they are skilled mediators and active peacebuilders.

Through mediation training, PWDs are now Certified Professional Mediators (CPMs), equipped to resolve conflicts, champion dialogue and strengthen peaceful, inclusive and resilient communities.

Nothing about peace without everyone at the table.
