ABOUT US

EDENWISE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS is implementing a project titled ‘’PRIORITIZING WOMEN’S VOICES AND COMBATING CORRUPTION IN THE CONTEXT OF HEALTH EMERGENCY CAUSED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC’’ that aims at creating a movement of women and young people in Kisumu County who are actively involved in monitoring, lobbying and advocacy for accountability of use of COVID Funds; who have an increased access to information and can therefore play oversight role on COVID-19 funds in Kisumu County; and who can use community platforms to engage in debates on oversight of COVID-19 funds. Ultimately we aim at increasing the visibility of women and young people’s actions and voices in national platforms in monitoring the use of COVID-19 funds and exposure of women and young people to national anti-corruption networks.

The strategy provides a framework for the Project to undertake advocacy interventions aimed at holding the County Government of Kisumu accountable to the women, young people and the disabled as far as use of Covid 19 funds is concerned; and to increasing access by the women, young people and the disabled to the funds.
