For the past 40 years, FIDA-Kenya has been renting office premises across the three counties where we operate: Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu. With the increasing need to serve more women and reduced donor funding, FIDA-Kenya has embarked on a forward-looking sustainability plan to strengthen our institutional capacity. This sustainability plan will enable the organisation to withstand the economic challenges associated with donor funding and national and global economic challenges. Further, the strengthened institutional capacity will allow the organisation to reach the 47 counties that make up Kenya more effectively and dispense much-needed legal aid services. Central to this plan is establishing the FIDA-Kenya Mediation Centre, a property that will host essential services and programs to enhance access to justice and empower women, girls, and children in Kenya.

The FIDA-Kenya Mediation Centre will also leverage information technology to access justice through hosting the FIDA-Kenya Virtual Justice Hub. FIDA-Kenya is a famed organisation in information technology and was awarded the most innovative institution in ICT in Kenya by the Nairobi Legal Awards. The technological innovations necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic have been sustained through implementing virtual justice and e-courts by justice stakeholders throughout Kenya. FIDA-Kenya has been a leader in this space. The FIDA-Kenya Mediation Centre facilities will continue the ICT innovations and dispense justice access to the Kenyan public.

The FIDA-Kenya Mediation Centre will cater to various critical needs, including:

• Mediation and Counseling Centre for the public.
• Legal Aid Clinic Space for FIDA-Kenya clients.
• Temporary Safe Space for vulnerable women and children.
• FIDA-Kenya Women and Girls Leadership Centre.
• FIDA-Kenya Virtual Justice Hub.

This property will enable FIDA-Kenya to effectively deliver legal aid and mediation services while securing long-term financial sustainability for the organisation.
