Kisumu Social Inclusion Network engaged key stakeholders in a community Baraza focused on matters affecting the well-being and safety of community members in Kisumu West Sub-County.
The session was attended by the Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) for Kisumu West, Mr. Oloo, who emphasized the importance of effective coordination, collaboration, and support for Chiefs in carrying out their roles within the community.
The Baraza brought together 12 Chiefs, providing an open platform to share experiences, concerns, and recommendations on key issues affecting residents, including:
• Community well-being and welfare
• Prevention, reporting, and response to Gender-Based Violence (GBV)
• The current security situation within Kisumu West
• Strengthening collaboration between communities, local administration, security agencies, and other relevant stakeholders
Through such engagements, stakeholders can work together to identify practical solutions, strengthen community safety, and promote inclusive and responsive local governance.
