Key stakeholders targeted in this project include Area Advisory Council, County Ward administrative Office, County and Sub-County commissioners’ office, health Sub-Committees, Constituency Development Fund office, Peace Committees, Youth and sports office, Interest/Business associations, and civil society network collaborations that are theme-based e.g child-protection, health, environment, security, education among others. -Through network coordination meetings, this project intends to initiate and establish partnerships that will coordinate various interest areas (e.g health, education, child-protection, budgeting e.t.c). -This will be borrowed from experience and evidence based on current network model that brings various partners together in our current Adolescent Girl’s Power Project in Kasarani sub-county (Mathare).
