Echo Network Africa Foundation (ENAF), in partnership with Democracy Trust Fund (DTF) and with support from Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF), is convening the National Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue and Sensitization Forum on Gender-Responsive Electoral Governance Ahead of the 2027 General Elections.

The forum brings together over 70 representatives from state and non-state institutions, including the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP), the National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC), the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), the Political Parties Liaison Committee (PPLC), the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT), political parties, security agencies, civil society organizations (CSOs), Women’s Rights Organizations (WROs), and other stakeholders within the electoral governance ecosystem.

The forum seeks to respond to the persistent barriers that continue to limit women’s political participation, the gaps in the implementation and enforcement of electoral laws and policies, and the need to develop practical recommendations that can strengthen gender-responsive electoral governance ahead of the 2027 General Elections.

The forum aims to strengthen a more coordinated electoral ecosystem that advances inclusion, accountability, and collaboration among key stakeholders. By translating dialogue into practical action, it seeks to help create the conditions for more women to participate, contest, and lead as Kenya prepares for the 2027 General Elections.

Democracy Trust Fund (DTF) today participated in the National Stakeholder Roundtable and Launch of the Gap Analysis Report on Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) in Kenya, convened by CRAWN Trust in collaboration with key government institutions, civil society organizations, development partners, and digital rights actors.

The forum provided an important platform to reflect on the growing impact of online harassment, cyberbullying, disinformation, deepfakes, cyberstalking, and other forms of TFGBV that disproportionately affect women and girls.

As an institution committed to advancing women's leadership and political participation, DTF through the Running to Win Programme equips women aspirants and leaders with practical skills on digital safety, online campaigning, electoral violence prevention, and TFGBV.

Yesterday and today, Democracy Trust Fund participated in the Women’s Rights Organizations (WROs) Convening on Early Preparedness and Coordination to Advance Women’s Political Participation Ahead of the 2027 General Elections, organized by UN Women, Crawn Trust, and CREAW.

The convening, themed "Early Preparedness and Coordination to Advance Women’s Political Participation Ahead of the 2027 General Elections," brought together women’s rights organizations, feminist leaders, activists, development partners, and governance actors to reflect on lessons from previous electoral cycles and identify priority actions for the 2026–2027 electoral period.

Discussions centred on strengthening women’s political leadership, addressing electoral violence and technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), enhancing the inclusion of young women and women with disabilities, and building collective strategies to support women aspirants and candidates.

A key call to action emerging from the convening is the need to harmonize efforts, resources, and advocacy initiatives across stakeholders to ensure coordinated, impactful, and sustainable support for women’s political participation and leadership.
