Despite the fact that there are a number of on-going interventions aimed at addressing the post-election crisis as well as findining ways to address the Comprehensive constitutional review ,Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission, Independent Review Committee and Commission of Inquiry on Post-Election Violence to solve the current security situation, there are a number of gaps that exists within the post-election conflict that requires attention.

Training workshop for Journalists and Community Leaders

This training is a collaboration between AWC and the Kenya Correspondents Association and will involve carrying out training workshops for journalists addressing conflict management issues.

The training will also focus on the communities through what we call Media encounters when the journalists and the communities attend workshops together with the aim of providing deeper understandings on the communities’ perspectives on certain issues for the media. Our program also provides significant strengthening to district and provincial government officials.
