Two Women Rights Organizations (WROs), The Baringo Women and Youth Group and Naitutum Ngai CBO will work in partnership with CCGD to deepen advocacy and implementation of initiatives aimed at preventing and responding to gender-based violence, particularly affecting adolescent girls and young women. Through this partnership, the two organizations will strengthen community activism against GBV while improving response systems at county-level. Their work will focus on mobilizing local leaders and community members, responding to GBV emergencies, supporting case management, and enabling survivors to access clinical and psychosocial services. A key priority will be making referral pathways functional and responsive so that survivors are not left navigating complex systems alone.
Beyond emergency response, the partnership places strong emphasis on economic empowerment. Survivors and at-risk young women will be supported to access skilling opportunities and financial inclusion pathways that enhance their participation in the local economy. By linking protection services with livelihood support, the initiative addresses one of the root drivers of GBV, economic dependence. It will also amplify the visibility, voice, and agency of young women in advocacy spaces. By strengthening their participation in anti GBV and gender equality efforts, the programme ensures that young women are not only beneficiaries of services but active leaders shaping change in their communities. CCGD invests in strong grassroots partnership with WROs to empower local women actors to lead prevention, protection, and gender equitable transformative change.
