In July 2025, MWADO deepened its community-led response to gender-based violence (GBV), harmful cultural practices, and protection-related issues in Marsabit County through targeted interventions across awareness creation, coordination strengthening, psychosocial support, religious engagement, and women’s economic empowerment. Building on the momentum and initially formed partnerships, the July interventions expanded reach, engaged more diverse stakeholders, and focused on solidifying results through practical action, community ownership, and survivor-centered approaches.

Key outcomes include heightened community dialogue around GBV and child protection, stronger interfaith commitments to end FGM, enhanced response capacity among community protection teams, and increased confidence and interest in climate-smart agriculture among women
