On 11th–12th September 2025, the Centre for Research, Training and Publications (CRTP), through the Environmental Advocacy Support in Extractive Industry (EASEI) Project, held an Environmental Advocacy Training at Bongwe Social Hall in Kwale County. The workshop, facilitated by Ms. Patricia Opande, brought together 27 participants from partner community groups alongside representatives from the county government. The training aimed at equipping the participants with knowledge of environmental and land degradation, building skills in advocacy strategies and campaign design, exploring sustainable mining practices and alternative livelihoods, strengthening legal literacy and understanding of constitutional and statutory provisions, promoting community engagement and rights-based advocacy approaches, as well as facilitating the development of community-level advocacy action plans.
