A community of residents from across Nyandarua County advocating for budget accountability and transparency through meaningful engagement in budget processes.
Earlier, ACDC & the Nyandarua Gender Technical Working Group supported validation of the draft Nyandarua Gender Policy.
Once adopted, the policy will provide a framework for advancing #GenderEquality and strengthening #GBV response. #EndGBV#ACDCInAction@TICAH_KE
Our discussions highlighted ACDC’s advocacy successes in securing funding for nutrition initiatives including the Baby-Friendly Community Initiative and Malezi Bora activities and increasing budget allocations for child immunization programs in Nyandarua County.
Despite being in operation for less than two years, ACDC has made notable contributions to policy and budget advocacy in Nyandarua County. The organization has played a key role in supporting the development of the county’s Triple Threat Strategy and the Nyandarua Agenda Policy.
ACDC was established through mentorship and capacity-building support from HENNET member organization @YSW_Kenya and has grown into a strong community-led voice for development and accountability.
HENNET had the privilege to visit our member organization, @ACDCenterKE in Nyandarua County, to strengthen collaboration and learn more about their ongoing community development and advocacy initiatives.
Earlier, ACDC supported the @NyandaruaCG018 Health Department to convene a high-level roundtable with County Executives and MCAs on the Nyandarua Triple Threat Strategy, now awaiting adoption. We commend their commitment toward its adoption and implementation.
#EndTripleThreat
Earlier on, ACDC convened a policy dialogue with community gatekeepers at Leshau Pondo in Ndaragwa, bringing together key stakeholders for meaningful deliberations on #CSE and the mitigation of the Triple Threat of #TeenagePregnancies, #GBV and new #HIVInfections. #ACDCInAction
Yesterday we joined Nyandarua residents for #publicparticipation of the Nyandarua #CFSP FY 2026/27. #ACDCInAction
We shared our recommendations mainly highlighting the need for #meaningful public participation, including ward-level fora & feedback to citizens. #BudgetMatters
New year, new opportunities! ✨
ACDC is calling on passionate volunteers ready to serve, learn and grow while making real community impact.

@ACDCenterKE Ending GBV means putting a stop to Gender-Based Violence any form of harm (physical, emotional, sexual, or economic) done to someone because of their gender. It focuses on protecting women, girls, boys, and all vulnerable groups from violence.
