The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, State Department of Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs of Kenya requested DESA/DISD to organise a workshop on “Development of the National Action Plan for the Implementation of the National Policy for Family Promotion and Protection” in Nairobi in 2025.

The overall objective of the National Policy is to provide an environment that recognizes and facilitates family well-being, social order and empowers families to participate in the socio-economic development of Kenya.

The workshop will address these issues and serve as a capacity building exercise aimed at policy makers and civil society representatives, especially those working on family and related issues and will provide a forum for the exchange of experiences and latest research and substantive knowledge. The aim of the workshop is to strengthen the capacity of participants to formulate, implement, monitor, and review the National Action Plan for the implementation of the National Policy for Family Promotion and Protection at the national and local levels. In doing that, the workshop will focus on several thematic areas of the implementation matrix of the National Policy on Family, such as parenting, family education, media and technology, and the environment.
