The Inclusive Legislatures for Gender Responsive Policies (ILGRP) project in Kenya implemented by the Parliamentary Center and African Centre for Parliamentary Affairs (ACEPA) convened a consultative process to formulate gender equality strategic priorities with the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association [KEWOPA] secretariat led by the CEO and CRAWN Trust.

The workshop was aimed at strengthening effective women’s rights and CSO engagement with the parliament of Kenya. The insightful deliberations were geared towards building synergies and collaboration aimed at achieving institutional responsiveness as well as gender equality in legislation, representation, and oversight.

The conversations were positive and we anticipate fruitful collaboration. This has been through funding and assistance from Global Affairs Canada.
