The Global Fund for Community Foundations, Kenya Community Development Foundation and East Africa Philanthropy Network invite you to a meeting on Tuesday 9th April at Four points by Sheraton, Hurling ham, Nairobi from 10am to 3pm (including lunch), for a conversation on #ShiftThePower and its relevance and potential in Kenya, East Africa and globally.
The #ShiftThePower Global Summit took place in Bogotá in December 2023. It brought together 730 people from 77 countries, including 30 participants from Kenya where the #ShiftThePower movement has strong roots and representation. Participants represented the range of the civil society and funding eco-system, with the largest group coming from grassroots institutions, networks and movements, many of whose work often lies beyond the gaze and reach of big donors.
The meeting on 9th April will be an opportunity to share insights from the Summit from some of those that were there, and to consider how best to forge and maintain pathways of practice and influence between and among people who are, in one way or another, crafting and testing new people-centered practices and approaches that are driven from the bottom-up, or who are leading experiments and authentic efforts to shift power from within the existing system.
