The Collaboration of Women in Development (CWID), a public benefit organization, is intensifying its advocacy efforts to combat entrenched corruption at the grassroots level through feminist networks.
Speaking in Mombasa during a three-day workshop convened by the Global Fund for Women, with participants from Syria, Uganda, Kenya, Nepal, Armenia, Guatemala, and Mexico, the CWID ED, Betty Sharon, says they had a training and an exchange learning program on how to effectively deal with corruption.
Ms.
Sharon explained that the participants are keen to know how corruption affects their organisations in their countries and how best they can stop corruption through the exchange of best practices, leveraging grassroots feminist networks. "In many cases, when we talk about corruption, we only see corruption at the highest level, but we are forgetting that at the low level, we support corruption knowingly and unknowingly," she said.
