Picked up my new Tesla Model Y today and the FSD ride home was the most surreal experience of my life. Went from delivery to parking spot without touching the wheel or pedals once.

@SDGsKenyaForum @agengocarole @syevuo @EU_YSBKenya @EUinKenya @FemnetProg @Laxmana_Kiptoo @ngoboardkenya @VSOKenya This is an urgent agenda, especially in the face of cuts in ODA. We need to local and public financing such as for initiatives that benefit children. Operationalizing the PBO Act clauses on financing local NGOs will complement the Children Act 2022 provision on Child Welfare Fund

📜 Enacted in 2013, the PBO Act offers a solid legal framework for CSOs in Kenya. But over 10 years later, it remains unimplemented, restricting: ❌ Legal recognition ❌ Access to funding ❌ Civic engagement

🔊 "The law exists,but is yet to work for us!" Today, the META Consortium gathers for a critical discussion on the Public Benefit Organizations (PBO) Act. 🇰🇪 With support from the @EUinKenya , stakeholders unite to push for its long-overdue implementation.

@FemnetProg @VSOKenya 1️⃣ . Who are the key actors? From regulators and government ministries to CSOs, donors, and communities, each stakeholder plays a crucial role in actualizing the PBO Act.
