Parliament to host regional forum on gender, inclusivity

The Parliament of Kenya, in collaboration with the Canadian High Commission and the Inclusive Legislatures for Gender Responsive Policies (ILGRP) Project, will convene a two-day regional forum to enhance gender-responsive lawmaking, equitable governance, and accountability. The event, set for September 23rd-24th, 2026, will convene Members of Parliament, international delegates, senior officials, HR directors, and civil society representatives from Kenya, Ghana, and Togo.

Funded by Global Affairs Canada and executed by ACEPA and PC, this marks the final regional forum of the ILGRP Project, concluding a four-year initiative. Titled "Sharing Achievements and Advancing Forward-Looking Gender-Responsive and Inclusive Parliaments," the forum aims to bolster legislative oversight, citizen engagement, and policy development.

It will feature interactive sessions, knowledge exchange, and best practice sharing to inform future parliamentary initiatives.
