KELIN is set to train messengers on the 9th of February 2023 in Kisumu. This knowledge build-up training will attract 15 participants drawn from Kisumu and Homabay counties who have been previously engaged in training to influence equitable social and peer norms in the community. The training will equip the participants with effective and efficient communication skill for gender transformative advocacy and capacity strengthen the trainers.
Over the last four years, KELIN engaged 950 men and women in separate courses using the securing your family’s future curriculums. The courses designed to increase women’s meaningful involvement in decision making, control, use and ownership of land strengthened knowledge and skill of the participants and they are championing gender transformative change in the community. To build on the gains of the separate curriculum, SYFF course for couples was developed to curate a shared understanding of the human rights issues impacting women’s rights and spearhead equitable norms in the community.
This training will enhance the trainers’ knowledge and messaging, which is based on communication for change to highlight the impact of culture, biased laws, misconceived norms, and lack of awareness as the impediments to women claiming their right to land and property.
