The Commission today attended the Project Steering Committee Meeting in Nairobi, which was convened by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), to apprise on the progress of the “Deepening Democracy” Project in Kenya.
The Deputy Commission Secretary (DCS) for Support Services, Obadiah Keitany represented the Commission Secretary/CEO, Marjan H. Marjan and co-chaired the meeting that was supported by various development partners.
The meeting focused on the 2023/24 work plans under the “Deepening Democracy” Project and whose objective is to consolidate democratic dividends for sustainable transformation in Kenya.
Mr. Keitany reported to the meeting on some of the milestones achieved by the Commission in the legal reform agenda amidst challenges that include absence of @IEBCKenya Chairman and Commissioners.
Mr. Keitany informed the Project Steering Committee that the Commission has made tremendous achievements in the targeted programmes as captured in the @IEBCKenya work plan and with support from development partners, the Commission should achieve better results from the planned programmes.

Creating opportunities for continuous learning helps institutions to stay ahead of the curve. We're encouraged to see Continental African Elections Bodies (EMBs) coming together to review & rethink the role of communications as a critical element for their institutions. #SDG16
Inadequate or unclear communication can damage institutional confidence. This week, we're exploring with African Electoral Management Bodies from 39 countries how to better institute strategic + crisis comms to enhance electoral trust and integrity. #AfricaElectionsFund
The Commission Secretary/ CEO, Marjan Hussein Marjan, today gave remarks at the opening ceremony of the Continental Workshop on Strategic and Crisis Communication for African Election Management Bodies (EMBs).
The continental workshop organized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in conjunction with African Union Commission (AUC) is being held in Nairobi and has brought together representatives from 39 African countries.
The workshop will enable EMBs to explore innovative pathways in the digital age for confronting an increasingly complex election management environment in Africa and ultimately build trust and inclusive electoral processes and outcomes in line with international and continental regional standards of democratic elections.
In his remarks, Marjan observed that most of the negative perceptions about EMBs are brought about by lack of continuous stakeholder engagements.
He emphasized on the need for EMBs to ensure stakeholders have access to information about each phase of the electoral process to create and reinforce public confidence in elections
Exciting start of the Workshop on Strategic and Crisis Communication for Election Management Bodies in #Africa with our #PartnersAtCore.
During and beyond elections, strategic communication is the key to fostering public trust in institutions.
