The Danida Fellowship Centre’s learning programme, “Strengthening Policy Dialogue to Accelerate SDG Implementation”, is connecting Kenyan SDG-pioneers working for good governance and sustainable change. The full-time programme facilitated by the Danish companies INKA Consult and Beyond2030 is happening now in Copenhagen.

This is Danida Fellowship Centre’s first in-person learning programme of 2021 after more than one year of distance learning due to Covid-19 restrictions.

After online preparations, the 25 Kenyan participants flew from Nairobi to Copenhagen to take part in the programme. It is a multi-disciplined group of representatives from the private sector, civil society organisations, public institutions and academia. The red thread connecting them? They are passionate about sustainable change and want to discover new tools and methods to drive forward the SDG agenda in Kenya.

During the programme, each participant will draw up an individual action plan, something that is mandatory in all Danida Fellowship Centre’s learning programmes. This action plan is a powerful tool to support positive practical change and improvements within the participant’s organisation and home country.

You can meet the Kenyan Danida fellows at the People’s Meeting on Bornholm in Denmark 17, 18 and 19 June or online where they will participate in the following events:
