Home About us Our Partners
Partners

AWC achieves its objectives by working closely with media managers and editors, civil society organisations, media institutions, and professional networks based in Kenya, Africa and elsewhere. We enhance the links between the public and the media, and influence media policy and practice through our work with the Media Council of Kenya and the Kenya Correspondents Association. We are also the coordinators of the Kenya Editors' Guild and a member of the African Editors' Forum.

AWC is a partner in the Gender and Media Initiative in Africa (GEM), which aims to document and train journalists and women leaders in Africa to articulate issues affecting Africa from a woman's point of view. We generate synergy and strengthen the media capacity through our collaboration with the Association of Media Women in Kenya (AMWIK), Tanzania Media Women's Association (TAMWA), Uganda Media Women's Association (UMWA) and the Eastern Africa Media Women's Assocaiton (EAMWA). Our main partner in Southern Africa is Gender Links; an NGO based in Johannesburg which specialises in gender, governance and the media.

AWC has developed strong links with media training institutions such as the School of Journalism at the University of Nairobi. Within Kenya, we maintain good working relationships with local media houses, especially the Nation Media Group and the Standard Media Group.

We have long-term working relationships with international organisations such as UNIFEM and UNDP. At national level, we work with numerous CBOs and NGOs.
