Kenya's civic space remains under significant pressure. In 2024, the CIVICUS Monitor downgraded Kenya's civic space rating from "Obstructed" to "Repressed" following increased restrictions on the freedoms of expression, peaceful assembly, and association during and after the nationwide protests. For counties like Kisumu, where civil society organizations have long played a central role in advancing human rights, public participation, and social accountability, strengthening collaboration has become more important than ever.

Through the CivicWatch Project, we recently convened grassroots civil society organizations from across Kisumu County to critically examine emerging civic space trends, assess how evolving legal and policy frameworks are shaping their work, and identify the opportunities and threats affecting civic action. The engagement also marked the beginning of a county-wide coalition dedicated to coordinated advocacy, evidence generation, and collective action to protect Kenya's democratic space.

At the invitation of World Vision Kenya, we joined members of Parliament in an engagement to advocate for strong child protection provisions in the Proposed amendments to the Basic Education Act,2013 where a number of issues were discussed including;

âś… safe environments in schools for children against violence as committed to by the government in Bogota 2024.
âś… Strengthening child-enabled reporting and referral mechanisms
âś… Provision of School Meals for retention, attendance and learning of Kenyan children in schools.

Stakeholders called for stronger and formal recognition of Alternative Education and Training (APBET) Schools for all children in Kenya to access quality education and no one is left behind.

We are leading an exposure visit to the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR)-Kisumu Office, bringing together student representatives from the Maseno university, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology(JOOUST), and Great Lakes University of Kisumu - Gluk Transparency and Integrity Clubs.

The visit provides a practical learning opportunity on the constitutional mandate of KNCHR, the protection of civic space, and the promotion of fundamental freedoms, including freedom of expression, association, peaceful assembly, and public participation.

By connecting young people directly with Kenya's national human rights institution, we are nurturing a generation of informed, values-driven leaders equipped to champion constitutionalism, monitor human rights, and engage constructively in strengthening and safeguarding the country’s civic space.

At WeCare, we believe that meaningful civic engagement begins with knowledge, dialogue, and institutions that remain accountable to the people.

PARLIAMENTARY ENGAGEMENT DAY | National Assembly

THURSDAY, 23RD JULY 2026- BUNGE TOWERS

At the invitation of the Clerk of the National Assembly, we appeared before the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to present our memorandum on the Competition (Amendment) Bill, 2026 and the East African Development Bank (Amendment) Bill, 2026.

Jointly presented with a representative from the GLUK Transparency and Integrity Club and partners from UNDP, our submissions championed digital market fairness, data protection, consumer rights, stronger parliamentary oversight, and intergenerational equity, ensuring that economic reforms create opportunities for young people while safeguarding public interest.

At WeCare, we believe that meaningful youth participation in law-making strengthens democracy and helps shape policies that are transparent, accountable, and responsive to future generations.

In recent years, Kenya has experienced an increasingly dynamic civic environment, marked by growing public participation, digital activism, and youth-led movements alongside evolving legal and policy debates on freedom of expression, digital rights, peaceful assembly, and civic participation. As these conversations continue to shape our democracy, it is essential that young people understand their constitutional rights, engage constructively in governance, and contribute meaningfully to protecting civic space.

Join us for a Youth Public Discourse on Freedom of Expression and Civic Space in Kenya under the CivicWatch Project. The dialogue will bring together students, civil society organizations and digital rights advocates to examine emerging legal and regulatory frameworks, discuss the future of civic freedoms, and explore how young people can become active defenders of democracy.

As Africa continues to commemorate African Anti-Corruption Day, representatives from Maseno university and Great Lakes University of Kisumu - Gluk Transparency and Integrity Clubs joined Peace FM for a conversation on Youth Involvement in Anti-Corruption and Governance in Kenya.

The discussion explored why corruption is ultimately about stolen opportunities for young people and emphasized that meaningful change requires moving beyond protest to sustained participation through civic engagement, public accountability, ethical leadership, and informed policy engagement. It also highlighted the growing role of young people in shaping governance through digital advocacy, public participation, and evidence-based action.

At WeCare Youth Organization, we believe that an accountable Kenya will be built not only by strong institutions but also by informed and engaged citizens. By investing in young people as champions of integrity, we are helping shape a generation that chooses participation over apathy and accountability over silence.

Through engaging discussions and sensitization sessions, participants explored the far-reaching effects of corruption and the critical role young people play in promoting integrity, accountability, and transparent leadership within their communities.
