On the second day of our capacity building session for women leaders and political parties, CMD-Kenya deepened conversations on how digital technologies and strategic communication can shape inclusive political leadership. Anchored in our Women in Politics Project, today’s engagements explored how effective political messaging and the ability to navigate online spaces are central to amplifying women’s voices in politics at both the national and grassroots levels.As misinformation and disinformation increasingly shape political discourse, participants reflected on how to safeguard their narratives, build credibility, and use digital platforms responsibly. These discussions highlighted the importance of equipping women leaders with the skills to engage the digital space with resilience, while ensuring that technology remains a force for inclusion rather than exclusion.Through this initiative, CMD-Kenya continues to affirm its commitment to building the capacity of political parties and women leaders to embrace innovation, strengthen representation, and uphold democratic values. By investing in knowledge, strategy, and digital literacy, we are nurturing a generation of women leaders ready to drive Kenya’s democracy forward. ... See MoreSee Less
