Women in 7 Counties to Benefit From Training on Political Participation

Women from seven selected counties are expected to benefit from a 2-day training aimed at enhancing their participation in national politics. The training scheduled for next week, follows the successful completion of a political analysis of women participation in the counties.

Speaking ahead of the training NCCK’s Programs Officer for Governance Peter Achar, said that participants will be drawn from Council structures and other organization. “The participants will be trained on how to effectively make an impact in political participation in the country,” he revealed.

The training will be followed by local to local dialogue aimed at changing perceptions on women participation. Targeted counties are Kwale, Kitui, Kisumu, Embu, Kiambu, Bomet and Homa Bay. Achar said that the initiative is part of NCCK and her partners’ contribution towards bridging the gender parity gap and ensuring adequate women representation in the country’s political system.
