Empowering Communities, Transforming Governance: IMLU and UNDEF Launch Human Rights Protection Initiative in Kenya

Independent Medico-Legal Unit (IMLU) is proud to announce the launch of a new initiative funded by the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF): “Strengthening Civic Engagement and Legal Accountability for Human Rights Protection in Kenya” (Project ID: UDF-24-1003-KEN).

Over the next two years, this project will work to enhance civic engagement, strengthen legal accountability, and promote democratic governance in Kenya, leveraging Information and Communication Technology (ICT) towards this transformative cause in Kenya.

The primary beneficiaries of the initiative span both direct recipients of services and key actors in the governance and accountability ecosystem.

By bridging community empowerment with institutional reform, this initiative marks a vital step toward a more just and accountable Kenya. Through direct survivor support, digital innovation, and strong grassroots networks, IMLU and UNDEF are not only addressing immediate human rights violations but also building a resilient framework for long-term democratic governance.

IMLU is delighted to kickstart this initiative and contribute to a more just and empowered community and the governance ecosystem.
