    Kenya's implementation plan for the GCM brings together the efforts of all migration stakeholders to jointly address migration related issues. The plan benefits from the voices and efforts of Policy makers, civil society organisations implementing activities that include and/or affect migrants. #GCM #Kenya #migration

    Kenya’s #GCM Implementation Plan creates impactful change through collaboration, partnerships, and increased awareness. By tackling critical issues like security and social protection, the plan ensures migrants are protected and empowered to thrive. At the core of this effort are inclusive dialogues and community engagement, ensuring local voices shape national policies. With the support of the GCM Capacity Building Mechanism, #Kenya is making strides toward building inclusive communities where every migrant is supported. Thanks to the Network's Demand-Driven Facility, funded by @EU_Partnerships, Kenya is setting the stage for a brighter future for all migrants.
