Community Engagement

[Betty Yeri @mchehando]

Indeed very exciting for us to leave office and spend time explaining our work to community members. I was surprised there were no concerns raised about us among such a big crowd of community members. Community members felt respected by such an act.

It was a great opportunity for interaction during our community outreach that purposes to stimulate dialogue on the programme research activities. During these outreaches we encourage the community members to ask questions and also give feedback on our work.

What does it take for research to impact policy,
how does the policy engagement process look like & why is it important? In this month’s university forum, students try understand the relationship between research & policy.The forum was facilitated by @Joykiptim & @AlexNdungu.
