On June 19, 2025, a delegation from FAWE attended the Partners Safeguarding Community of Practice Conference held at Baraza Media Lab in Nairobi. The team was led by Gordon Aomo, Senior Knowledge Management Officer, along with Programme Officer Carolyne Datche and Knowledge Management Associate Marion Robie.

The convening, organized under the Mastercard Foundation initiative, brought together implementing partners to reflect on how safeguarding policies can be strengthened through community-led approaches and inclusive practices. Discussions centered on real-world experiences, context-specific challenges, and collaborative strategies for creating safe and supportive environments for young people.

FAWE’s participation reflected its ongoing commitment to advancing safeguarding not just as a policy requirement, but as a lived practice embedded in programme design and delivery. By engaging with like-minded partners, FAWE continues to elevate the importance of protection and accountability in education spaces across Africa.
