The 6th edition of the People Dialogue Festival (PDF) comes to dramatic and memorable close today, leaving in its wake powerful, purposeful and sometimes controversial but respectful discussions across the six villages over the last four days. The festival brought together an estimated 2,000 participants per day, over 60 exhibitors including political parties, NGOs, social enterprises and donors. Others included senior government representatives from the three arms of government (Judiciary, Executive and Parliament), development partners, embassies and foreign missions, 15 high schools from both Nairobi and Kiambu. Over the last four days more than 50 sessions and panels discussing diverse themes contributed to the PDF2024 theme of “Competition and Collaboration in Democratic Development.”
