Advancing inclusion in the fight against corruption is emerging as a key pillar in Kenya’s governance and accountability reforms, as the National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) deepen collaboration under the Kenya Leadership and Integrity Forum framework.
The commitment was reaffirmed during the implementation and Mid-Term Performance Review of the Kenya Integrity Plan 2023–2028 held in Naivasha, where NGEC was represented by Joshua Ogembo. The engagement focused on assessing progress, strengthening partnerships, and embedding inclusion within national integrity systems.
The Naivasha forum brought together stakeholders involved in governance, accountability and anti-corruption efforts to review progress under the Kenya Integrity Plan 2023–2028. Discussions centred on the need to integrate inclusion principles into anticorruption systems to ensure that accountability frameworks are responsive to the needs of all segments of society.
The forum underscored the importance of designing anti-corruption systems that are accessible and responsive to all citizens. The collaboration between NGEC and EACC under the Kenya Leadership and Integrity Forum framework was identified as a key mechanism for advancing integrity and inclusion objectives.
The review process was also used to align priorities for the remaining implementation period, with emphasis on strengthening inclusion and accessibility in anti-corruption frameworks.
