From Commitments to Concrete Action!
📍89th Ordinary Session of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) | Room 005, King Fahd Hotel, Dakar, Senegal 🇸🇳 | Side Event | October 14, 2026 | Advancing Displaced and Host Population Rights on Socio-Economic Inclusion and Education in Africa 🌍
Across Eastern Africa, refugees and forcibly displaced populations continue to encounter daily barriers to their fundamental rights. From restrictions on freedom of movement to emerging regional policies targeting foreign-owned small and informal businesses, these hurdles directly disrupt family livelihoods and severely limit children’s access to continuous, quality education. Addressing these interconnected challenges requires bridging the wide gap between formal legal protections and the daily, lived realities of displaced communities.
To tackle these issues head-on, @RCKKenya, @AU_CIEFFA, @RESCUEorg and @LWF_Ke will be hosting a strategic side event at ACHPR, anchored in ACHPR Resolutions 645 and 649, serving as a continuation of our regional advocacy.
The session will feature guided, action-oriented discussions designed to connect grassroots evidence directly with continental policy. Deliberations will examine mobility restrictions, define socio-economic inclusion beyond the formal right to work, and advocate for institutionalizing Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) as a rights-based, nationally owned educational priority integrated into host-country curricula rather than temporary, donor-funded projects.
Through this engagement, we expect to translate research into actionable policy entry points across the East African Community (EAC), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and the African Union (AU). The event aims to foster collaboration with the ACHPR Special Rapporteur on Refugees, Asylum Seekers, IDPs and Migrants, culminating in a joint Implementation Matrix to monitor commitments, track progress, and hold regional bodies accountable leading into the next ACHPR session.
By transforming continental policy commitments into practical, on-the-ground change, we aim to address freedom of movement barriers, protect informal self-employment, and secure inclusive education, ensuring refugees, asylum seekers, and host communities can exercise their rights with dignity and achieve lasting self-reliance.

Who defines the value of Turkana land?
Land acquisition and compensation for the South Lokichar oil project are currently taking place in parts of Turkana.
But when compensation is discussed, an important question often gets lost:
What exactly is being valued?
On this week’s Turkana We Want, we bring together voices from the communities to unpack the ongoing land acquisition and compensation process.
Join us?
12 SMALL BUSINESSES HAVE CLOSED IN LODWAR — WHAT IS HAPPENING?
As of today, reports indicate that 12 small businesses in Lodwar have closed down.
What could be behind the closures?
Is it high cost of doing business, low purchasing power, expensive rent, taxes and levies, lack of access to credit, competition, or the current economic situation?
And most importantly — what does this mean for Lodwar’s economy and employment?
��� What is happening to small businesses in Lodwar?
Let’s debate. What do you think is the real reason?

BREAKING NEWS!!
Nanam Ward MCA Hon. Cosmas Longor Napeikar has reportedly included himself among top vulnerable Students in the recent Nanam Ward bursary disbursement , while many genuinely vulnerable children from the families who voted for him in the recent by-election remain at home due to huge school fee arrears and some facing exclusion from the allocation.
Is this true leadership, or an injustice to the vulnerable children in need of bursary support ?

Reports say the American Government wants to bring Ebola-exposed citizens to Kenya for quarantine and treatment.
Some people support the move, saying Kenya has strong medical facilities and can help stop the spread of the disease through controlled quarantine.
Others oppose it, fearing risks to public safety and questioning why the U.S cannot handle the patients in their own country.
The Kenyan Government says any decision must follow strict health and safety protocols. Whats your Take on the Matter???

Thank you Turkana County for turning out to engage with UGM Party Presidential Flagbearer David Maraga at the #UkomboziRally.
Today, Hon. Maraga spoke firmly on the two issues at the heart of Kenya’s crisis: corruption and failure to uphold the Constitution. While the Constitution of Kenya already guarantees dignity, justice, healthcare, education, security, and equitable sharing of resources, our leaders have failed to implement it and continue to disregard the rule of law.
He further stated that because of corruption, public resources have been turned into a personal ATM for those in power, at the expense of ordinary Kenyans, leading to poverty, unemployment, failing services, and a struggling economy.
Hon. Maraga pledged to restore constitutional order, protect public resources, end corruption, and deliver servant leadership grounded in integrity and accountability if elected in 2027.
2027 is not just another election.
It is a vote for the liberation of Kenya. Kura ya mwaka ujao ni kura ya ukombozi wa Kenya!
