    • Project

      DLCI will work in close collaboration with the Voice team in Kenya to carry out two overall responsibilities;

      • To facilitate safe and inclusive spaces where Voice grantees and rightsholders can come together to share and learn from each other, and to strengthen their capacity to empower and influence in inclusive ways.
      • To help amplify the voices of Voice grantees and rightsholders in public debate, using innovative online and offline approaches that ensure inclusivity.

      As a result of these twin strategies, the voices of those too often left at the margins will take centre stage, thereby contributing to more informed and accurate public understanding. The specific tasks which DLCI will carry out include; a convening role that brings Voice grantees and stakeholders together through a variety of forums and platforms (such as communities of practice or stakeholder groups meeting either online or offline), data collection and analysis of grantee learning priorities and progress and facilitation of Linking and Learning activities that seek out and create opportunities to shape public debate and action based on information generated by Voice grantees.
