As an active member of COP Busia Chapter,we as Baridi Kwa Baridi Women CBO, recognize the importance of aligning our work with the Government of Kenya’s policy direction and we were honoured to contribute to the discussions on how the proposed regulations will shape the operations, governance and sustainability of grassroots organizations.
The session also created space for participants to identify common concerns and develop collective submissions to ensure that the voice of community groups from Busia is well represented during the regional-level forum.
COP Busia Chapter remains committed to strengthening community-driven initiatives and ensuring that regulations and policies support inclusive, sustainable development.
We extend our gratitude to Dhamira Moja for convening such a timely and relevant discussion that strengthened our collective voice as community groups.
