With the widening of the democratic space, there is an increased demand for information on the activities and operations of the government. The media can play a significant role in informing the public on the issues of governance, human rights and democracy and, consequently, increase the public’s participation. MFA works to build the relationship between the media, government and civil society, build the capacity of the media to provide quality information and increase the capacity of civil society to use the media.

There you have it, judges @Zippy_okoth, @Njeri_Kiereini and @miconyango have decided that all the women get to fight another day. However, they have been left with a stern warning to step up their game. It will take more to become the ultimate #MsPresident.

"Poverty is the main cause of GBV here. We have a saying in lusoga that "obwavu lumbe" meaning poverty is death. Women despise their poor husbands, this angers the men into beating them up to humble them."
