Community Engagements
Grassroots Mobilization and Local Leadership
About This Programme
This programme seeks to support women in the wards and constituencies that they lead. This is done through the formulation of working groups called Constituency Consultative Forums (CCF) that work with female MP's at a constituency level and Ward Consultative Forums (WCF) that work with Councillors at Ward level.
The two structures, the CCF and the WCF, are community development structures supporting the local leader. These communities are capacitated on how they can fully support the female leaders so as to achieve developmental targets in their respective areas. We also conduct Community Dialogue meetings where leaders and communities interface with an aim of highlighting issues of concern in the community.
