Safe Environment Hub - SEHub

The CASCADE Project, implemented by CARE Kenya in partnership with GAIN, concluded a transformative 4-day Budget Making and Civic Engagement Training Workshop for Community-Based Organizations and the Sun Business Network in Nairobi County.

The training aimed to equip organizations with the knowledge and skills to effectively engage in county planning and budgeting processes—ensuring nutrition-responsive financing aligned with the County Nutrition Action Plan.

We were particularly delighted to see strong participation of young leaders in this forum, reinforcing our commitment in nutrition governance.

We wrapped up Day 5 of the Scaling Up Nutrition Civil Society Network ESA convening with a field visit to the National Agricultural Research and Development Institute in Kanye.

From food science labs to sorghum innovation, one message stood out:
strong food systems require science, accountability, and collaboration.

Now the real work begins—turning commitments into results.

SEHub at the SUN ESA Civil Society Network Regional Meeting – Day 4

Day 4 of the regional gathering of the Scaling Up Nutrition Movement Civil Society Network brought together policymakers, civil society leaders, and development partners to advance the theme:

“Strengthening Accountable Food Systems for Nutrition Security and Health.”

Powerful reflections emerged from the discussions:

🌱 Food security begins with seed security.
🤝 Moving from “government vs civil society” to “government with civil society.”
📊 Every $1 invested in nutrition can generate $23 in returns.

Participants also developed action plans, financing strategies, and partnership pathways to accelerate nutrition outcomes across the region.

For SEHub, the message is clear:
Transforming food systems requires accountability, collaboration, and community voices at the center.

Happy International Women’s Day!

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and leadership of women who are shaping a better world. From our communities to the climate movement, women continue to stand at the forefront—protecting our environment, nurturing innovation, and building sustainable futures.

At Safe Environment Hub we celebrate every woman and girl who dares to lead, protect the planet, and inspire change.

Together, we rise. Together, we transform communities.

Day Two at the Scaling Up Nutrition Civil Society Network ESA Regional Meeting in Gaborone challenged us to think beyond production — toward accountable food systems for nutrition security and health.

From fish nutrition to N4G tracking, the message was clear:
Data must inform policy. Rights must guide action. Partnerships must drive impact.

Accountability is how food systems become nutrition systems.
