Chief Agnetta Karembo reiterated that “change commences with a shift in mindset,” emphasizing it during the closing and certification ceremony of the Kilifi Senior Leadership Development Workshop for county directors and municipality managers. This workshop represented a significant achievement in improving leadership and cultivating a positive work environment.
By incorporating best practices and novel approaches, participants are now better equipped to streamline and reinforce systems, thereby enhancing performance in both internal and external settings. They are now prepared to assume a more coaching-oriented and inspirational leadership style, bringing a new level of positivity and efficiency to the workplace.
Through this capacity building initiative, the Department of Gender, in partnership with the Kenya-Finland program, aims to utilize these enhanced leadership abilities to attain greater success in advancing gender mainstreaming, empowering marginalized communities, improving gender-responsive service provision, addressing gender disparities, and promoting community involvement, while also encouraging gender-sensitive innovation within Kilifi County.
