Kenya

Profile and History

IAWRT Kenya was registered as an organization in January 2003 following an IAWRT Regional Workshop held in Kampala, Uganda, in 2002. Nine (9) Kenyan women broadcasters who attended the Kampala Regional Workshop upon return founded IAWRT Kenya. In November 2005, during the 31st IAWRT Biennial Conference held in Williamsburg, North Virginia, IAWRT Kenya received its charter status officially becoming a national chapter.

The Kenya chapter hosted the 2007 Biennial Conference and as a result, the chapter grew tremendously. The organization has 47 members and 18 very active members. In 2008, there were many activities. On Press Freedom Day the chapter held a workshop, supported by UNESCO, on the standards of women journalists in times of conflict. They have developed a publication on the IAWRT Kenyan strategic plan that involves the constitution of the organization and future opportunities.
