PARTNERSHIP FOR PROSPERITY - Sustainable Energy-Kenya 2011










 

Kibera Good Governance Conference - Page 2

The conference brought together all stake holders, like minded NGO’s and the youth to explore and develop a strategy that will contribute to improved livelihoods of young people, through meaningful and informed participation in the affairs affecting them. Kibera being one of the worst hit during the 2008 post election violence, it was appropriate for the youth to be mobilized in a meeting to discuss governance issues ,though a drop in the ocean, it would lead to a significant change in the outcome of the coming election. The theme of the conference was: ‘A time to Reflect, Get involved and Act.’ The conference started at 8.00 am at Harlequins Hotel, Nairobi, with registration of the participants, panelists and distribution of the IEC materials to them at the entrance of the conference grounds. There was a slight delay in kicking off the session as the keynote speaker arrived a little late but the crowd was kept entertained by the musician and guitarist Lydia Dola and her team.
The guest panelists were:
  • George Morara-Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC)
  • Anthony Oluoch-Advocate
  • Emma  Nungari-Gender Advisor
  • Otieno Ombok-Peace Activist
  • Owino K’Otieno-UNDP Ambassador for Peace
  • Owino Ong’wen-From the Prime Minister’s Office (Political Affairs)
  • Barrack Muluka-Publisher/Writer/ Commentator on political issues and Keynote Speaker of the day.
The youth groups that participated at the conference included;
  • Young Women Initiative
  • Pamoja Youth Foundation
  • Initiative for Community Action

  • Lang’ata Youths Network
The session began with a welcome address from Mr. Elijah Odundo (Programme Manager-Under the Same Sky-Kenya Project), who noted the presence of the panelists and various partners and addressed the objectives of the conference as well as ushering in the master of ceremony, Ramogi Osewe.
