As part of the Kilifi County Gender Sector Working Group, Nawiri Africa joined other stakeholders from the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Equity & Inclusion thematic areas in a meeting to strengthen coordination, collaboration and accountability in advancing gender equality and social inclusion across Kilifi County.

A key outcome of the meeting was the reaffirmation of the importance of timely, accurate and high-quality reporting as a cornerstone for measuring progress, informing evidence-based planning, strengthening coordination among stakeholders and demonstrating the collective impact of interventions aimed at promoting gender equality, equity, and inclusion.

The engagement also provided a valuable platform for partners to share experiences, reflect on progress, identify emerging priorities and reinforce collective action in addressing gender-based violence while advancing the rights and inclusion of women, girls, persons with disabilities, youth and other marginalized groups.

Nawiri Africa remains steadfast in its commitment to working alongside other stakeholders to build a more inclusive, equitable and gender-responsive Kilifi County where every individual can live with dignity, safety and equal opportunity.

We had the privilege to participate in a two-day workshop facilitated by the State Department for Gender and Affirmative Action, in partnership with UN Women and the University of Nairobi.

The training convened CSOs and private sector actors to sensitize them on the National Policy on Women’s Economic Empowerment (NPWEE) and the National Care Policy.

The training addresses the structural gender disparities highlighted in the 2024 Economic Survey, which reveals that women remain concentrated in low-productivity sectors like retail and social work, while men dominate high-growth industries. To counter this, the NPWEE aims to create a conducive policy environment that promotes women’s access to and utilization of economic resources, ensuring their active participation in all spheres of the economy for inclusive development.

We advocate for social justice by pushing for adequate budget allocations for gender equality programmes. The initiative seeks to reduce vulnerabilities and disparities that impede women’s economic empowerment, ensuring that resources and opportunities are distributed equitably to uplift marginalized groups.

By equipping CSOs and private sector actors with knowledge on the women in leadership roadmap, the training promotes the inclusion of young women in economic leadership. This focus ensures that the next generation of women have a voice in high-technology sectors and decision-making spaces, breaking cycles of exclusion and fostering sustainable development.

About 8th March,2026
We are happy to have joined the County Government of Kilifi, fellow CSOs and community actors to celebrate the strength, courage and achievements of women and girls in our communities.

As we marked this year’s theme, “Give to Gain”. we were reminded that progress toward gender equality requires intentional effort, collaboration and unwavering commitment.

As an organisation we continue to support, uplift and stand firmly for the rights, dignity and opportunities of every woman and girl.

Today marks the final day of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence. With Support from Plan International, we spent the day meaningfully in Takaungu, engaging with women from the community on the realities of GBV including Femicide and TFGBV. It was a powerful space of learning, reflection and solidarity, a reminder that when women come together to speak, question and share, change begins to take root.

Our discussions went beyond awareness, they created room for healing, understanding the referral pathways, and building confidence to challenge harmful norms that continue to expose women and girls to violence. The courage and openness of the women in Takaungu reaffirmed why community engagements remain at the heart of prevention and response.

As the global campaign ends today, our commitment does not! We continue to stand with survivors, amplify women’s voices and push for safer, more just communities in Kilifi and beyond. The journey to ending GBV is long but together, we move with strength, purpose and hope.
