The Nakuru Regional Office joined the County Government of Nakuru and other stakeholders, both state and non-state actors, in launching the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and PWD Information Management System. The system, supported by the Lithuanian Government and the Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce, is set to enhance data collection to inform policy direction and programming.
H.E. David Kones, graced the launch event, held in Nakuru County, the Deputy Governor of Nakuru County, who commended the Lithuanian partners for their support in developing the web application. He reaffirmed the county government’s commitment to fighting GBV and ensuring efficient service delivery for PWDs.
“This system is a crucial tool that will enhance our ability to collect accurate data on GBV, which will, in turn, guide our policies and interventions. Additionally, it will fasttrack service delivery for PWDs, ensuring they receive timely and adequate support,” said Hon. Kones.
The newly launched web application is expected to revolutionize data-driven decision-making by providing real-time insights into GBV trends and challenges faced by PWDs in the county. The system will facilitate prompt response mechanisms, improve survivor support services, and aid in developing targeted policies and interventions.
Stakeholders at the event emphasized the need for a multisectoral approach in tackling GBV, with various government and civil society organizations pledging to leverage the new system to enhance collaboration and service delivery. The initiative aligns with national and county government efforts to promote gender equality and inclusivity.
