SUMMARY:Training of Trainers (ToT) on Youth and Women Inclusion in Democratic Processes
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ Date: 3-6 August 2025\n📍 Location: Nairobi\, Kenya\n🔗 Organisers: Kenya Parliamentary Human Rights (KEPHRA) \nDespite notable progress in Kenya’s democratic journey\, youth and women remain significantly underrepresented in formal political spaces\, including within political parties. Limited access to civic education\, low awareness of internal party structures\, and systemic exclusion have hindered meaningful engagement at all levels of governance. \nAs part of the European Union-funded WYDE Political Parties project\, which seeks to empower young women and youth across Africa to take up leadership roles within political parties\, the Kenya Parliamentary Human Rights (KEPHRA) aims to develop a national pool of trainers capable of cascading knowledge\, skills\, and democratic values at the local level. \nThe overall objective of the Training of Trainers (ToT) is to build the capacity of selected youth and women leaders from various counties to become civic educators and political trainers within their communities. Through this\, the initiative seeks to foster grassroots-level understanding of party structures\, internal democracy\, and broader governance issues. \nSpecific Objectives \n\nEquip participants with facilitation and training skills to lead local-level civic education sessions.\nDeepen knowledge on five thematic areas key to inclusive democratic participation:\n\nYouth Unemployment\nEnvironment\nEconomy\nRule of Law\nSocial Justice and Equality\n\n\nStrengthen understanding of democracy\, leadership pathways\, and political participation.\nPromote peer-to-peer learning\, mentorship\, and sustainable civic engagement structures.\n\nExpected Outcomes \n\nA trained cohort of facilitators capable of conducting grassroots civic trainings.\nLocally relevant action plans developed by each participant for cascading knowledge.\nStrengthened community-level awareness and participation in democratic processes.\nIncreased visibility and legitimacy of youth and women as political actors.\n\nThe ToT will be delivered over two days through a participatory and experiential learning approach. Facilitators will use storytelling\, case studies\, simulations\, group work\, and community mapping to ensure content is accessible\, engaging\, and practical. \nParticipants will receive a detailed training manual and resource toolkit aligned with the five themes and adapted to local realities. \nThis activity is implemented under the WYDE Political Parties project\, aligned with the EU’s strategic objective of strengthening democratic governance and gender equity across Africa. It contributes to broader efforts to foster inclusive political systems\, decentralized civic education\, and sustainable community leadership.

SUMMARY:Amplifying Young Legislators: WYDE Capacity Building Workshop
DESCRIPTION:A two-day hands-on training to strengthen the parliamentary and policy-making skills of young MPs in Kenya.\n🗓️ Date: 4-5 August 2025\n📍 Location: Nairobi\, Kenya\n🔗 Organisers: Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS)\, Kenya \nAs part of the ongoing Women and Youth in Democracy (WYDE) – Political Parties project funded by the European Commission\, the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) Kenya Office\, in collaboration with the Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA) and under the lead of the European Network of Political Foundations (ENoP)\, will host a two-day capacity building workshop for young Parliamentarians in Nairobi\, Kenya. \nThe workshop is designed to contribute towards a set of dialogue and training measures with young legislators that are keen on enhancing the voices of young people within the two tiers of Parliament in Kenya.\nA better understanding of roles and procedures and enhanced skills in policy work and communication will enable the participants to fulfil their roles as legislators and people’s representatives more effectively. \nThe workshop aims to primarily provide a platform where MPs\, Senators\, selected MCAs\, and in general politically active young leaders can deepen their understanding of legislative processes\, policy development\, harness existing communication pathways\, and engage in ideas that can deepen constituency engagement. Ultimately\, amplifying the voice and visibility of youth in democratic governance and legislative decision-making remains our ultimate objective. \n\nDay 1 Highlight – Understanding Parliamentary Systems and the Role of Young Leaders in Democratic Governance: Day one will focus on deepening participants’ understanding of Kenya’s bicameral parliamentary system\, legislative procedures\, and the evolving role of young people in shaping politics and public policy. In addition to young legislators\, the day will bring together politically active youth leaders\, i.e.\, party youth league officials\, and youth advocateswho are making impact in at the national level.\nDay 2 Highlight – Strategic Communication and Policy Advocacy for Young Legislators: The second day will build the capacity of young legislators and youth leaders to communicate among themselves\, within the youth constituency and as well with the rest of Kenyans\, while influencing political and policy conversations. The sessions will explore how young MPs\, Senators\, MCAs\, and politically active youth can sharpen their public narratives\, strengthen digital communication strategies\, and connect more meaningfully with their constituents.\n\nFor more information\, visit:\n🔗 https://www.kas.de/en/web/kenia
