I had the privilege of representing Jaslika at the launch of USAWA Agenda's second report titled "Building Evidence for Just School Systems to Power Just and Sustainable Societies," focusing on secondary schools in Kenya. The main aims were to highlight and emphasise prevailing injustices within the education system and the progress needed to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all. This report holds particular significance for Jaslika, as we are dedicated to fostering mindset changes, especially in the realm of development politics.
Girls’ Agency in Focus: Lessons from Kenya and Uganda
A dissemination forum was convened by The Learning and Action Alliance for Girls’ Agency (LAAGA) on January 24th, 2024, in Nairobi, Kenya, under the theme "Centering Young People as Agents of Change: Lessons from Kenya and Uganda." This event, co-organized by Brookings Center for Universal Education and LAAGA members Christine Apiot Okudi, Joyce Kinyanjui, and Dr. Mary Otieno, brought together representatives from the civil society organisations, including Jaslika, to examine the research findings on girls’ agency in the Karamojong cluster, located alongside the Kenya-Uganda border.
