Introduction
Tr?caire has received funding from the European Commission to implement interventions geared towards improving access to justice, and enhancing accountability and protection of human rights in Kenya for a period of 23 months. This funding will support Tr?caire and 4 Kenyan NSAs:
• To enhance the capacity of NSAs to influence and monitor justice sector reforms and,
• To facilitate improved access to justice for the most vulnerable, marginalized and poor
The expected results of this action are:
• Involvement and participation of NSAs in policy design and reforms in the administration of justice sector increased
• Access to justice for the most marginalized, vulnerable and poor in rural and urban areas and penal institutions improved
One of the key strategies of this action will be use of advocacy to rally support for and bring legislative, policy and administrative changes at local and national level in order to enhance access to justice in Kenya. The media, both print and electronic have become a critical tool for awareness raising, shaping opinion and influencing change locally and globally. In appreciation of this critical role, and the need to engage with the media in a strategic and consistent manner that delivers results for Kenyans, a collective training will be organized for partners of the implementing organ early on in the roll out of the project.
The objectives of the training are as follows:
• To enable participants appreciate the vital role the various media play in advocacy and in particular governance and human rights-related advocacy;
• To equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to engage media in public advocacy.
Duration
The training is scheduled to take 4 days; 7th to 11th February 2011
Expected Outputs of the Training
• Conduct a 4 day training for 10 participants;
• An understanding of ‘how to do advocacy through media’ guide will be developed
• A workshop report and a partner-specific media advocacy work plan;
• Recommendations on how best to follow up on the training
