Farming Democracy, Harvesting Sustainability
Training and Empowerment for Participatory Decision-Making
The main objective of this practice, led by FT Foundation, is to empower youth, women, displaced people, and other marginalized groups in Somalia to actively participate in decision-making and development planning. In a context of political instability and structural exclusion, the initiative aims to strengthen leadership capacities, create economic opportunities, and promote inclusion in political and community spaces.
Civic Voices: A Tech Platform for Public Participation
The main goal of Civic Voices, an initiative presented by Daniel Orogo and developed by Democracy Moves, is to facilitate public participation in Kenya through a technological platform that allows citizens to express opinions, ask questions, and access essential information for decision-making. The practice focuses on creating an accessible, affordable, and safe channel for interaction between government and society that is more open, transparent, and efficient.
Sowing The Seed of Deliberation
The initiative combines deliberative methodologies with accessible technology, amplified through media partnerships, to build metaconsensus—understood as possible agreements between people who think differently, without requiring unanimity
ARTvocacy Movement
This project worked with youth aged 18 to 35 in informal settlements of Nairobi and Kisumu, aiming to develop effective ways to include them in democratic processes. Barriers identified included deep mistrust in government institutions, poverty, and participatory platforms that lacked feedback mechanisms. Despite these challenges, traditional structures like barazas (community meetings), WhatsApp groups, and bunges (informal parliaments) were already serving as local spaces for civic expression and were seen as opportunities to be strengthened and modernized.
