The Community Initiative Action Group Kenya (CIAG-K) is a human rights, social justice, and social policy organization founded in 2008. Focus: They work as a non-state agency and non-profit organization, dedicated to empowering communities and advocating for social change. Mission: CIAG-K's core mission is to empower communities, organizations, and social interest groups. Their aim is to transform societies for the benefit of the vulnerable and marginalized. Values: Their work is guided by principles of integrity, accountability, transparency, respect, diligence, and inclusivity. In essence, CIAG-K works to ensure that the voices of the most vulnerable are heard and that they have the resources and support needed to claim their rights and improve their lives. To achieve its long-term goal and vision, CIAG-K theory of change therefore seeks focuses on three areas namely; (i) Influencing policy change: through strategic high-level engagement with duty bearers though round tables with Court users' committees County Assembly, Ministry of interior and coordination, and the Governor among others (ii) Promoting citizen engagement, action and empowerment: CIAG-K recognizes that low levels of awareness and ignorance among citizens on their rights, roles and responsibilities in the Access to justice and rule of law are major obstacles that limits the realization of the full benefits in the Constitution of Kenya 2010. This denies citizens opportunities to reap maximally with respect to legally and constitutionally available public participation spaces provided due to their limited capacity to hold their leaders accountable for their actions. CIAG has developed tools for community groups participation in Budget making processes across all the four key stages of formulation, approval, execution and oversight as strategy to link and visualize government priorities by following the money and hence easily rally community against critical issues. However very little attention has been given on access to justice sector and this is a gap that CIAG will be seeking to address (iii) Promoting transparency and accountability through establishment and strengthening the capacity of community structures: Engaging change agents that comprise community own resource persons (mobilizers and advocacy champions) trained and capacity build by CIAG to catalyse change. This involves application of social accountability tools to carry out social audits of development projects as mechanisms of improving service delivery and holding duty bearers to account. Capacity building the community lies at the heart of CIAG strategy right from enhancing access to information, organizing community to demand justice and journeying with community through social accountability tools has worked as a best practice in engaging with targeted groups. (iv) Use Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) to amplify the voices of the vulnerable and marginalized to demand and defend their rights: CIAG leverages on media platforms-both mainstream and social media to drive its advocacy and policy influencing agenda. (v) Using Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) as a strategy to in tackling access to justice challenges and accountability deficits: That underpins CIAG work where citizens' rights are at the centre of development as enshrined under the bill of rights in the constitution.

The mission of the association Les Oiseaux Migrateurs is to create a collaborative space organised around diasporas, making the link with the African continent. We federate an international network of artists, designers, entrepreneurs, students, researchers, innovators, architects, academics, brands and decision-makers from all over the world - to support and empower international youth. Ideal for learning, experimenting and prototyping sustainable and scalable solutions to the challenges our communities may face. Union de la Jeunesse Internationale is the community center created by Les Oiseaux Migrateurs in 2022, with a multidisciplinary and contemporary program that supports emerging diaspora talent and provides a platform for creative and entrepreneurial development. Breaking away from the "bourgeois hierarchy" of the arts and resolutely turned towards interculturality, the Union de la Jeunesse internationale offers an ambitious program of exhibitions, debates and workshops. The idea is to provide a platform for expression and knowledge-sharing for young people, and above all to create an avant-garde venue capable of taking the "pulse of what's happening in the world today", with an emphasis on diasporic cultures. It aims to encourage and connect creative people, entrepreneurs and thinkers by providing them with tools such as an exhibition hall, a workshop space, a radio station and a library.

The organisation reflects its members' shared concern for the future of humanity and the planet. The association sees its task as acting as an independent, global catalyst for change. The objectives of the Association are therefore: to identify the key issues that are critical to the future of humanity; to evaluate alternative scenarios for the future and assess risks, choices and opportunities through integrated and forward-looking analyses; to develop and propose practical solutions to the identified challenges; to communicate new insights and knowledge from these analyses to decision-makers in the public and private sectors, as well as to the wider public; to stimulate public debate and effective action to improve the prospects for the future of humanity and the planet. The Association's activities are guided by the following three complementary principles: 1. the need to adopt a global, systems-oriented perspective in analysing the problems facing the modern world, recognising that the increasing interdependence of nations and the globalisation of previously local problems create challenges that are beyond the capacity of individual countries. 2. the need for a comprehensive, holistic approach in order to gain a deeper understanding of the complexity and interconnectedness of both current problems and practical solutions, in political, social, economic, technological, environmental, psychological and cultural terms, which the association refers to as the 'world problematique'. 3. the need to emphasise transdisciplinary and long-term perspectives, which are all too often neglected by governments and other decision-makers, and to focus on those decisions, strategies and measures that will determine the fate of present and future generations. The aim is to arouse public interest and provide responsible decision-makers with a solid basis for formulating and implementing future-oriented measures. The association does not pursue any commercial purposes and does not seek to make a profit.
