Marking Progress, Growing the Future: P4T Concludes Phase One of Land Access Initiative and Launches Next Chapter

On October 31, 2025, P4T, in partnership with GIZ-GFA, held the close-out workshop for the project “Enhancing Women’s Access to Land for Sustainable Economic Development in Western Kenya” at the GIZ Office in Kisumu.

The event marked the successful completion of the first phase a journey defined by community engagement, policy advocacy, and transformative conversations around land rights for women and youth. Through targeted interventions, the project has raised awareness on land ownership, challenged socio-cultural barriers, and empowered marginalized groups to claim their rightful access to agricultural land.

More than a conclusion, the workshop served as a springboard into the future. With the project now extended under the Agri Jobs for Youth (AJ4Y) program, P4T and its partners officially began designing the second phase of implementation.

This next chapter will:

• Build on the successes and lessons learned from the initial phase

• Address identified gaps in access, equity, and legal literacy

  
  

• Expand outreach to include more youth and women smallholder farmers

• Strengthen linkages between land rights, agricultural productivity, and sustainable livelihoods

By integrating evidence-based strategies and deepening community-led approaches, the new phase aims to create lasting systemic change in how land is accessed, owned, and controlled in Western Kenya.

As we move forward, P4T remains committed to advancing gender-equitable land governance and inclusive agricultural development. This is more than a project, it’s a movement toward justice, dignity, and shared prosperity.
