The @FCDCKenya finds the role of women in the development of the #AsalWomen2018 very crucial. That is why a caucus of 12 strong women from diverse communities from the @FCDCKenya actively participated in the deliberations. Big thank you to them @EugeneLWamalwa @aliroba1 @sidchat1 – at Malindi, Kenya
Optimism on the future of ASAL counties in Kenya is the prevailing attitude at the closing ceremony of #ASALConference2018 as participants express satisfaction with the 83 resolutions adopted.
