𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 Something powerful happened in Mombasa! Women #mediators from across the Horn of Africa are no longer waiting to be “included”, they are stepping forward, owning their #space, and redefining how #peace processes work. Together with other partners @agencypb and @HC4Democracy , @Mwarpkenya proudly participated in this dynamic convening organized by Agency for Peacebuilding with Funding from Ministry of Foreign Affairs Italy, bringing together 20 bold #women ready to shift the narrative. This isn’t about building skills, those already exist. It’s about breaking barriers. Across #Ethiopia, #Kenya, #SouthSudan, #Sudan, #Somalia, and #Somaliland, the challenge has never been #capability. It’s been #access, #recognition, and the ability to stay and #influence in rooms not designed for them. In this space, the focus is real and intentional: navigating systems that weren’t built for you standing firm in high-stakes spaces turning presence into real influence Through shared experiences, strategy, and collaboration, these women are not just participating in peacebuilding, they are reshaping it. And as #MWARP, we are proud to stand among changemakers who are proving that when women rise together, they don’t just join the table, they transform it. This is more than a convening. It’s a movement. #Women #WPS #UNSCR1325 #WomenEmpowerment #Mediation #peacebuilding

IGAD Peace and Security Division
The Political Affairs and Peace Building under the Peace and Security Division kicked off a 3-day roundtable workshop in Juba, South Sudan. The workshop focuses on understanding the roles of politicians and journalists in reducing tensions in African societies. The meeting was officially opened by the Director Hon. @SirajFegessa who highlighted that this initiative marks an essential step towards fostering a deeper understanding and cooperation between two of the most influential sectors in our societies: politics and the media. Dip. James Manyang from @SouthSudanGov gave welcoming remarks and encouraged the peaceful and collaborative exchange of ideas amongst the participants. The workshop convenes Politicians and Representatives from Governments, Senior Media Practitioners and members of the African Inter-Party Dialogue Network (AIPDN), intending to appreciate the internal workings of the media and politics and create a better understanding of the demands on journalists and politicians. #IGAD #Peace #Security #PeaceandSecurity #PeaceBuilding #MediaAndPolitics #Media #Press
