SUMMARY:Training of Women and Youth Leaders at Local Level for Inclusive Democratic Participation
DESCRIPTION:Building political literacy and leadership skills among women and youth across Kenya’s 27 counties \nThe Kenya Parliamentary Human Rights Association (KEPHRA)\, under the WYDE Political Parties Project\, is launching a nationwide training initiative designed to strengthen democratic participation among women and youth leaders at the grassroots level. \nOver the next three months\, county-level trainings will be conducted across 27 counties\, engaging 540 participants—20 women and youth leaders per county. These sessions will be facilitated by county-level Trainers of Trainers (ToTs) who co-developed a standardized political training manual during earlier stages of the WYDE Political Parties Project. \nThe program aims to equip participants with the political literacy\, leadership skills\, and confidence necessary to engage meaningfully in governance and decision-making processes\, while preparing them to contest in the upcoming 2027 General Elections. \nTraining modules will cover key themes such as political party functions\, equality and social justice\, the rule of law\, economic development\, and youth and women’s employment. Through these sessions\, participants will build networks\, exchange experiences\, and strengthen their capacity to influence local governance and policy. \nBy establishing a vibrant\, informed grassroots network of women and youth leaders across Kenya\, this initiative reinforces the broader WYDE Political Parties goal: creating more inclusive\, representative\, and participatory democratic systems. \n📍 Coverage: 27 counties across Kenya📅 Timeline: Starting 1st November 2025 Three months (one training per month per county)👥 Organized by: Kenya Parliamentary Human Rights Association (KEPHRA)\, within the framework of the WYDE Political Parties Project\, funded by the European Union and coordinated by ENoP.

SUMMARY:National Youth League Convention on Strengthening Inner-Party Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Kimsu\, Kenya — 21–24 January 2026\nAlthough youth form the majority in Kenya’s political landscape\, they remain underrepresented in party leadership and elected positions. Weak internal party democracy\, non-inclusive nomination rules\, and manifestos that fail to address their priorities further entrench this exclusion. \nKEPHRA is convening a 2-day convention that brings together 2 youth leaders from 27 counties across the country to review core party documents including the manifesto\, nomination rules\, and internal structures\, to ensure they respond to the needs of the youth\, while advancing the broader goal of strengthening inner-party democracy. \nThe goal of this convention is to prepare youth leaders to effectively influence party processes by ensuring manifestos\, nomination rules\, and internal structures reflect inclusivity and democratic accountability. \nFocus areas for the convention will include:  \n\nReview of party manifestos for gender priorities.\nAssessment of nomination rules for fairness and equity.\nEvaluation of internal party structures and representation gaps.\n\nThis will be done through document review\, group work\, plenary dialogues\, and action planning. Expected \nOutcomes include: \n\nYouth leaders critically analyze party documents through a gender and youth lens.\nGaps and barriers in the manifesto\, nomination rules\, and party structures are identified.\nProposals for reforms towards inclusive and democratic party practices are developed.\n\nExpected Results include: \n\nA consolidated set of recommendations for strengthening inner-party democracy.\nParty statutes reviewed in line with the input from the youth league\nEstablished annual activity plans for the youth league\n54 youth leaders equipped to engage their party structures with evidence-based proposals.\nGreater readiness of youth to contest and influence decision-making in the 2027 General Elections.\n\n  \nOrganizer: Kenya Parliamentary Human Rights Association (KEPHRA) \nParticipants: United Green Movement Party Youth League
