2nd Extractives Sector Forum - Stakeholder engagement in the Kenyan Context

IHRB's Nairobi Process and the Institute for Law and Environmental Governance (ILEG) will host the second Extractives Sector Forum on April 20, 2016. The forum is part of ongoing dialogue between the civil society and extractives companies (oil and gas as well as mining) in Kenya and will seek to deepen understanding on stakeholder engagement in the Kenyan context and highlight lessons that have been learnt thus far.

The second Extractive Sector Forum will be dedicated to stakeholder engagement, a widely discussed issue in the Kenyan extractive sector. IHRB and ILEG have prepared in advance a discussion paper laying out useful approaches and and pointers on good engagement practices for the sector.  More critically the paper addresses what both companies and communities should consider for successful engagement. The paper also provides useful resources for stakeholders especially companies to inform their engagement strategies.

The event is by invitation only and those interested in participating should get in touch with Geoffrey Kerecha at
