Media requests often come to UNICEF Kenya for comment on complex subjects involving layers of cultural and political sensitivities.

The free flow of news and information is more essential than ever. As a trusted media source on matters that affect children and women, UNICEF Kenya plays an important role in bringing in credible experts, showing empathy with those affected, using appropriate language, and thoroughly and carefully explaining terminology to explain how children’s issues affects these vulnerable groups.
The vast knowledge and expertise of UNICEF Kenya staff is a resource that can be more actively shared with the media and the public. Media training should build the confidence of selected staff so that UNICEF Kenya is better able to deliver on interview requests and build the profile of UNICEF’s work in Kenya.
