We are pleased to announce the launch of Phase B of the Fact First: Verify and Amplify Project implemented with support from European Union in Kenya through TrustLab .

This new phase places a strong focus on disability inclusion in digital spaces,ensuring that persons with disabilities are not left behind in efforts to promote digital safety, cybersecurity, fact-checking, and the fight against information manipulation.

For too long, persons with disabilities have faced barriers to accessing digital skills, online safety resources, and meaningful participation in information integrity initiatives. Through this project, we aim to bridge these gaps by creating inclusive learning opportunities, strengthening digital resilience, and empowering participants with the tools needed to navigate today's complex information environment.

We believe that building safer, more informed, and more resilient communities requires the inclusion of everyone. We look forward to working alongside persons with disabilities, partners, and stakeholders to amplify voices, strengthen digital literacy,fact checking and advance information integrity for all.

Last week, we hosted a dynamic training and mentorship session at our Kendu Bay office, bringing together young people to explore emerging opportunities within sustainable agriculture and circular economy systems. 🌱♻️

The session focused on the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) value chain;an increasingly important innovation in organic waste management, sustainable feed production, and regenerative farming practices.

Participants engaged in practical discussions on how locally available organic waste can be repurposed into high-value products such as protein-rich animal feed and organic manure, creating pathways for both environmental sustainability and youth-led enterprise development.

Beyond BSF farming, the training also introduced participants to complementary agribusiness opportunities through BRAINS sessions on:
🐝 Beekeeping
🌾 Nyota beans cultivation
🍊 Fruit farming
📚 VIPPT

What stood out throughout the session was the level of engagement from the young people in attendance ;from conversations around climate-smart agriculture and entrepreneurship to reflections on the future of food systems, green jobs, and community resilience.

We appreciate the technical support and knowledge shared by facilitators from:
🎯 International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology
🎯 Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization
🎯 Ministry of Agriculture

As communities continue to navigate economic and environmental challenges, creating spaces where young people can access practical knowledge, innovation, and mentorship remains essential. The transition towards sustainable agriculture will depend heavily on how well young people are included in shaping and driving these solutions. 💚

Yesterday, we took time to pause and look back on the journey of the Fact Fast-Verify and Amplify project during our M&E reflection session.

Beyond reports and activities, the conversation was really about people, experiences, and the realities communities face in today’s digital spaces. We reflected on the conversations sparked around misinformation, the growing need for fact-checking skills, and how online safety is slowly becoming part of everyday community discussions.

There was also room to honestly examine what worked, what challenged us, and what these experiences mean for future community engagements.

One thing remained clear throughout the session: access to information alone is not enough. Communities need the ability to question, verify, and navigate information responsibly.

Digital literacy not just as a skill, its an important part of building aware, thoughtful and resilient communities.

As a member of the Coalition of Homa Bay Organizations on Governance Oversight,we joined fellow CSOs from Kisumu, Siaya, Kakamega, and Homa Bay Counties in an information session under the Tupigane Na Ufisadi (TUNU) project, convened by Tisa Kenya .

The session opened up a simple but necessary reflection:

What would it take for us to move from non issues in politics to focusing on real problems?

Across the discussions, one message came through clearly,if politics is to serve citizens, it must be anchored in issues, not identity.
Issue-based politics is straightforward in principle: leadership should be judged by what actually changes in people’s lives.
Whether jobs are created, whether hospitals function, whether schools deliver, and whether public resources are seen in real services on the ground.

But it also requires a shift in attention. When political conversations are shaped mainly by loyalty or identity, it becomes harder to ask basic questions about delivery, accountability, and value for public resources.Over time, expectations of leadership begin to shrink.

The reality, however, is not simple;

Political identity is deeply tied to history and belonging.
Economic pressure is real and for many, immediate needs take priority over long-term governance questions. Information is also uneven,making it harder to separate facts from narratives.

Even so, these realities should not define the standard we set for leadership.

The session emphasized practical steps that can be taken consistently: keeping conversations focused on issues rather than personalities, asking clear and direct questions in public forums, tracking whether promises translate into action, and creating spaces for open and honest community dialogue.

The question is not whether issue-based politics is possible.
The question is whether we are willing to practice it.

Because when politics begins to focus on real problems, it stops being about noise and starts producing real solutions.

Under the TUNU (Tupigane na Ufisadi) Project,we participated in an agenda setting meeting to shape our 2026 Advocacy Strategy,anchored in the shared resolve to strengthen social accountability.

A key part of this meeting was an indepth engagement with The People’s Audit by Tisa Kenya The Institute for Social Accountability (TISA).
The People’s Audit is more than a report;it is a mirror held up to our collective reality.It connects public debt, governance failures, and economic hardship to the everyday experiences of citizens, reminding us that corruption is not distant or abstract, but something people feel in strained public services, rising costs of living, and shrinking opportunities.

The People’s Audit challenges citizens and institutions alike to move beyond indifference and reclaim accountability as a shared responsibility.It reinforces the need for informed, people-driven advocacy that questions power, demands transparency and insists on responsible management of public resources.

At Inuka,we remain committed to using evidence,citizen voices and strategic partnerships to advance anti-corruption advocacy that is grounded in lived realities and driven by the people most affected.

Last year, we witnessed what intentional youth investment can truly unlock.Through our partnership with Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO) Shining Hope for Communities under the Youth Voice Empowerment Program (YVEP), Inuka Community Developers Network onboarded 35 young people under Lot 1 who took part in a month-long blended training on Business Development Skills and the Gender Action Learning System (GALS).

This journey did not stop at training. It continued into hands-on mentorship and practical upskilling in poultry farming and Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming, empowering young people to turn ideas into action, strengthen their agency, and begin building sustainable livelihood pathways.

In November 2025, we onboarded Lot 2(35 young people), extending the same opportunity to a new group of young people eager to learn, grow, and lead.This year, our focus is on deepening impact by walking alongside this cohort through targeted mentorship and advanced upskilling in poultry and BSF farming,not just as agricultural practices, but as viable enterprises.

This phase is about youth-led job creation, dignity in work, and inclusive economic participation, ensuring young people are not only heard but also economically empowered.

As we move forward, we remain committed to advocating for youth empowerment as a driver of lasting community transformation, and grateful to SHOFCO and the young people whose resilience and ambition continue to shape a more inclusive future.
