InformAction Kenya

InformAction Kenya Grass roots organization using film and community discussion to demand political& social accountability Focus: Human rights|Social Justice|Good governance

InformAction is a unique human rights organization that uses film and community discussions to get ordinary people to speak out and take action. We operate through mobile field teams – using a car, screen, projector and camera - to show films to thousands of ordinary people through-out Kenya every week. Experienced activists and facilitators lead community discussions on justice and governance, wh

ile video journalists film the discussions and record human rights abuses. Since 2010, InformAction (IFA) has empowered hundreds of thousands of Kenyans in rural and marginalized areas, profiling the demands for change through innovative media and action. It has focused on impunity, governance, and justice for victims of political violence. In an environment that has become increasingly difficult for civil society and free expression, we use our unique methodology to by-pass control, corruption and censorship. We reach out to all communities and classes with understanding and information. Make change with us at InformAction; Watch, Discuss and Act!

"For us, it is important that communities are engaged early in the process to ensure meaningful participation. This enables them to understand what is due to them, actively contribute to decision-making, and promote transparency throughout the entire process." ~Winnie Masai

What happens after the minerals are gone?

This critical question shaped today's panel discussion on post-mining rehabilitation, climate justice, and sustainable resource management as we marked .

The panellists emphasized that responsible mining must go beyond extraction. It must include accountability, restoration of degraded ecosystems, protection of community livelihoods, and meaningful public participation in decisions affecting natural resources.

As the world responds to the call to be Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future., the conversation highlighted the importance of ensuring that mining leaves behind a positive legacy, one that supports environmental sustainability, social well-being, and intergenerational justice.

As we get closer to World Environment Day, we have another inspiring blog to share with you!

In this piece, Hamida Isaac, the Coordinator of the Kinango human rights network (KIHURNET), sheds light on the risks Environmental Human Rights Defenders face when speaking out against environmental injustices.

Targeted harassment, surveillance, arbitrary arrests, and intimidation continue to threaten environmental defenders in Kinango and across the globe.

She says, "speaking out for environmental justice should never result in criminalisation. There is an urgent need to strengthen protection mechanisms and promote more inclusive environmental governance systems."

Through the Haki Ni Yetu Grant, KIHURNET is advancing environmental justice, climate action, and business and human rights accountability by empowering communities to raise concerns about pollution, land rights, environmental governance, and corporate responsibility.

As we approach World Environment Day, we are reminded that the fight for our planet is also a fight for people. In this blog, Haki Ni Yetu grantee (EROG) Network's Coordinator Fardosa Mustafa highlights that protecting environmental defenders is essential for human rights, accountability, and meaningful climate action.

Across East Africa, environmental defenders are standing on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Because of this, they face intimidation, harassment, and even physical harm for protecting land, water, and communities.

“Communities cannot effectively participate in environmental governance or climate action when defenders are silenced, criminalised, or left without protection.”

Protecting environmental defenders is not just about human rights but is central to climate justice.

Through the project, support to EROG has helped build regional solidarity, strengthen rapid response systems, and empower defenders to safely advance environmental justice. Haki Ni Yetu receives funding from the EU Delegation to Kenya.
