As part of the YenKasa Africa Radio Initiative, Maiyan FM aired an engaging program on Women in Agriculture, produced in Maasai, a local Kenyan language, in collaboration with KENAFF and the Namelok Women Organization in Laikipia County, Kenya.
The discussion featured Rosemary Yenko, a community development expert and secretary of Namelok Women Organization, alongside Susan Narinyoki Moisany, an agriculturalist and administrator. They explored women’s economic and social empowerment in agriculture, shedding light on the key challenges they face—such as limited access to land, financial resources, and training opportunities—and the initiatives working to address these barriers.
The conversation also emphasized the critical role of women in agriculture, not only in improving household food security and livelihoods but also in driving community development. The speakers highlighted the importance of education and awareness in strengthening women’s participation in the sector and discussed strategies for enhancing their roles in the future.
Through platforms like this, radio continues to serve as a powerful tool for amplifying the voices of rural women and fostering meaningful conversations on sustainable agricultural development.
