Building on this momentum and the upcoming International Anti-Corruption Day (IACD) on December 9, themed “Uniting with Youth Against Corruption: Shaping Tomorrow's Integrity”, UNODC’s Africa Anti-corruption Hub, The Youth Cafe, in collaboration with the National Youth Council of Kenya (NYC),  is planning a forum for young people in Kenya to educate them on key anti-corruption priorities and accountability actions, share experience and propose innovative solutions  to promote transparency and accountability of government institutions in Kenya. 

The Walkathon brought together a diverse range of participants: youth, women, civil society organizations, public institutions, and private sector, and covered a total distance of 5.5 kilometers. It was sponsored by a number of organizations, from Civil Society Organizations, Media, Public and Private Sector.
