Women are consistently on the front lines of support during times of crisis. Their efforts are essential to a strong, equal, inclusive recovery. It is crucial that women play their full part, as leaders and participants at every level, contributing their insights and solutions.

Continued banditry attack and killing of two children in Elegeyo Marakwet is so painful. Preventing conflict and sustaining peace remains a challenge. Interventions need to establish links between security and development needs of the communities. Data and Innovation is required

Replying to @ProfKobia
@CSMargaretKobia: The government was struggling to change a policy to cash transfer because it is one of the solutions. After all, when people in arid and semi-arid areas have cash, they can go to a supermarket like Naivas and have freedom of choice on what they want to purchase.

@CSMargaretKobia : @PSYGKenya touches the heart of people. When we hear 'kwa ground ni different,' it should tell you something, that the government needs to do more, so as people at the ground feel their effort is for inclusion and improve the quality of life.
