The Aga Khan Foundation Global Learning Forum, attended by CEC Dr. Ruth D. Masha , was a platform for ongoing plenary discussions that focused on the theme “Unleashing the Potential: Embracing Peer-to-Peer Empowerment.” These discussions revolved around key areas that are directly relevant to the department’s mission of empowering young girls and women.
During the forum, significant attention was given to priorities such as strengthening community-driven initiatives and services for preventing gender-based violence. In addition, there was a strong emphasis on enhancing resilience to climate change, raising awareness about gender issues, and improving collaboration with partners for more impactful results. Attendees also called for increased efforts to prioritize community participation and utilize storytelling to foster empathy and drive social change towards a more equitable society.
These initiatives align with the Kilifi County Government’s unwavering commitment to promoting gender equality and empowerment under the leadership of H.E the Governor. Through continued collaboration and strategic partnerships, progress is being steadily made in effectively addressing gender-related challenges and creating positive societal transformations.
