As we wrap up this year’s CMD-Kenya Annual General Meeting 🏛️, we take with us not only renewed commitments from our member political parties, but also a clear reminder of the importance of sustained public engagement. The conversations, reflections, and shared vision that emerged during the AGM reaffirmed what we’ve always believed — that democracy doesn’t begin and end in the boardroom. It lives in everyday dialogue, informed citizens, and inclusive political spaces.That’s why we’ve continued to expand our communication efforts — to ensure that Kenyans across the country can stay informed, inspired, and connected to the work we do. From real-time program updates and thought leadership, to behind-the-scenes moments and grassroots voices, CMD-Kenya is now active on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X, and LinkedIn 📱 — creating vibrant digital spaces for democratic exchange and civic learning. Our growing platforms reflect our belief that democracy must be seen, heard, and felt — both online and offline.📣 We invite you to follow our pages and stay tuned for everything we have planned for the rest of the year. From upcoming opportunities and public engagements, to fresh innovations like our soon-to-launch podcast 🎙️, CMD-Kenya is committed to keeping democracy alive in the digital age. The AGM was a powerful moment — but the real work continues, and we want you with us on every step of the journey. 🇰🇪 ... See MoreSee Less

Meet the people behind the work — the CMD-Kenya Secretariat 🏛️. Structured into two core strands — Political Party Strengthening, Dialogue and Youth, and Gender, Inclusion and Policy — this dynamic team is the driving force behind the design and delivery of our programs. With a deep understanding of Kenya’s political landscape and a commitment to inclusive democracy, the Secretariat works year-round to support political parties, foster collaboration, and translate ideas into impact.Our work is guided by the principle that political parties are not just participants in democracy — they are custodians of it. That’s why we actively engage our member parties in developing solutions, co-creating initiatives, and ensuring that every intervention is relevant to their needs. Whether it’s through building institutional capacity, supporting inclusive leadership, or creating spaces for dialogue across divides, our Secretariat is here to walk with parties at every step of their journey.📣 We operate an open-door policy — no appointments needed. Member political parties are always welcome to visit our office, share ideas, and explore opportunities for collaboration. And for political parties that are not yet part of CMD-Kenya, we invite you to stop by, get to know our work, and find out how you can become part of this growing, values-driven platform. The future of democracy is built through partnerships — and it starts with a conversation. 🇰🇪 ... See MoreSee Less
