CSW70 NATIONAL STAKEHOLDERS FORUM

“We call on all stakeholders to integrate the CSW70 Action Plan into their strategic plans for effective implementation. Femicide, GBV, and FGM must end in Kenya. A multi-agency team has been formed, and within the next 90 days we expect concrete results to curb abductions, GBV, and related deaths.” ~ Anne Wang'ombe, PS Gender and Affirmative Action

The U.N. General Assembly has adopted a draft resolution that unequivocally condemns the trafficking of enslaved Africans and the transatlantic slave trade as the most inhumane and enduring injustice against humanity.

123 in favour
3 Against (USA, Israel, Argentina)
52 abstentions

The resolution also seeks to recognize the profound and lasting impacts of the abhorrent regimes of slavery and colonialism and emphasizes that claims for reparations represent a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs against Africans and people of African descent.

🧵 From the day UN HQ opened in New York, the Delegates Lounge—famous hangout for informal diplomat talks—was graced by a world map.

Chaired a planning meeting in Doha, Qatar, ahead of the Second World Summit for Social Development scheduled for November 4th to 6th, 2025.

Kenya stands ready to join the global community in reviewing progress made on the ten commitments adopted three decades ago in Copenhagen, Denmark, from eradicating poverty and promoting inclusive growth, to addressing inequality and advancing global cooperation.

Over the past 30 years, Kenya has made remarkable strides in social and economic development, and we look forward to sharing our experiences, achievements, and vision for the future at this important summit.

As the ⁦@ForeignOfficeKE⁩ gears up for #MFAOpenDay2024, I spent time with our young diplomats to reflect on their role as frontline actors in our innovative diplomacy quest. Proud of the talent and passion I saw in many of them. The future of our diplomacy is in good hands.
