Today, we joined the world in marking World Press Freedom Day 2026 under the theme: Shaping a Future at Peace

We are privileged to join stakeholders under the Kenya Integrity Leadership Forum at a High-Level Sector Workshop organised by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission & the Parliament of Kenya. Reviewing mid-term progress of the Kenya Integrity Plan 2023–2028.

We’ve been part of a transformative Digital & AI training for female journalists in Kenya by IAWRT. Today, our Director of Programs, William Oloo Janak, signed certificates ahead of tomorrow’s graduation A journey of learning, unlearning, and growth. Grateful to our partners.

We’ve just wrapped up a 3-day training in Kisumu under the SAFIRI Project, marking the second phase of the program. Focus areas included digital & physical safety, media ethics, and gender in investigative journalism. Great to see journalists sharpening their skills.

It's a wrap! We have concluded our three-day investigative journalism training in Mombasa. It's been three days of awesomeness, knowledge sharing, learning, and unlearning. We wish our participants all the best as we continue to empower them with skills.

✨✨✨And we had light moments during our investigative journalism training. It's good to sometimes take a break from the routine. The chicken dance was a good way to do this!💪💪💪 @EUinKenya , @AspenAfrica , @MediaCouncilK , @AMWIK , @TIKenya

"Investigative journalism must uphold the ethical standards of journalism and key laws and statutes." Our SAFIRI project training on investigative journalism in Mombasa hits its second day.

We've kicked off our third Investigative Journalism training in Mombasa with a brilliant cohort, powered by the SAIFIRI project dedicated to strengthening media in Africa. Thanks to @EUinKenya for the support.

We were honored to join our partner @TIKenya and other allies at the #IntegrityWalk2025.
