Refugee Consortium of Kenya Engages NGEC on Collaborative Efforts to Promote Refugee Rights and Inclusivity

A delegation from the Refugee Consortium of Kenya (RCK) visited the Commission (NGEC) to discuss potential collaborations aimed at advancing the rights of refugees and promoting inclusivity for all. During the meeting, both parties emphasized the need to address the unique challenges faced by refugees, particularly in the areas of gender equality, access to services, and protection from discrimination.

NGEC reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that refugees, especially women and girls, are included in national gender equality frameworks. The discussions also explored ways in which the two organizations can work together to strengthen advocacy efforts and influence policies that safeguard the rights and dignity of refugees across Kenya.

Dr. Purity Ngina, NGEC CEO, welcomed the collaboration, noting that inclusivity is at the core of the Commission’s mandate. The meeting marked the beginning of what is expected to be a fruitful partnership focused on fostering equality and protection for all, regardless of status.
