ESSAY AND ART CONTEST – CORRUPTION IN KENYA

Forum for African Women Educationist Kenya (FAWEK) in partnership with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung’s Rule of Law Program for Sub Saharan (Anglophone) Africa is seeking to contribute to the fight against corruption by incorporating the participation of the children and young people of Kenya in the national contest through essays and art competition with the aim of assessing their feeling and knowledge of corruption and its harm in the society citing out possible mitigation measures.
By doing this we will be inculcating ethical values and raising awareness on corruption. The children will therefore be able to participate effectively and express themselves on the effect of corruption as a long-term strategy to combating corruption in the country.
In a nutshell, the two organizations will be promoting citizen’s participation and encouraging the values of integrity, accountability, and transparency are crucial components of fighting corruption.

Data- Driven Advocacy for girls’ education in Kenya
FAWE Kenya is currently Building on Its experience in working with women’s rights organizations to use data more effectively in advocacy. In partnership with Equal Measure 2030, FAWEK will work with women Rights Organizations in Kenya with a focus on Nairobi and Turkana Counties.


BREAK FREE ALLIANCE
FAWE Kenya in alliance with Plan International Kenya and a technical assistance from SAT is working on the Break free Project whose aim is to have adolescents exercise their right to live free from Teenage Pregnancy (TP) and Child Marriage (CM), supported by civil society.

A critical component of the project is having the adolescents exercise their right to live free from Teenage Pregnancy (TP) and Child Marriage (CM) and increase access to quality and safe education for girls at risk of CM/TP.
The BF project has three pathways of change leading towards the strategic programme objective:
- Adolescent girls at risk of CM/TP access quality and safe education.
- Duty bearers and decision-makers develop, resource and implement laws and policies that respond to adolescents’ needs.
- Adolescents access quality SRHR information, education and services.
