ABEDEV Projects
The Make Youth Active in Civic Transformation (My ACT) Project
Currently ongoing, the Make Youth Active in Civic Transformation (My ACT) is a funded project by the KIOS Foundation under the Haki Ni Yetu programme. It is a cross-cutting ABEDEV project supporting at least 3 of the organisation’s strategic cluster of actions, namely the Youth Civic Awareness Cluster of Action, the Youth-led Accountability Cluster of Action and the Youth Participation in Government Decision-making Cluster of Action. The project aims at mobilizing at least 370 young people (male, female and youth with disabilities) across Samia subcounty and organising them into a network called the Youth Leadership Structure (YLS) for promoting active youth engagement in governance, rights, development and civic processes across Samia subcounty and within the larger Busia County.
Past Activities Held
Our Impact
Abenengo Featured on Siasa Place’s Wall of Fame
Abenengo for Development (ABEDEV) has been recognized by the civil society organization Siasa Place for successfully lobbying the government to murram a critical stretch of the Munana-Sigalame-Sio Port road in Funyula sub-county.
Once dotted with deep potholes and nearly impassable during rainy seasons, the road now boasts a smooth red-earth surface – a significant change that locals say has restored access, dignity, and safety to their daily journeys.
Siasa Place, through its “Wall of Fame” initiative, spotlights local actors championing accountability and development. According to the Siasa Place, Abenengo CBO met all criteria for recognition – including community engagement, sustained advocacy, and measurable impact.
