📊 Parliamentary Progress towards the SDGs 🌍 At PDF 2025, Mzalendo Trust hosted an important session on Parliament’s role in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Kenya. 💼✨ The session explored how parliamentarians are making strides in legislation, policy, and budget allocation to ensure that Kenya stays on track to meet the SDGs by 2030. 🏛️📈 From addressing inequality to ensuring sustainable development, the conversation highlighted the critical role of lawmakers in driving accountable governance and creating policies that align with global goals. 💡 It’s clear—parliament must be a key partner in shaping Kenya’s future and ensuring the SDGs are not just a goal but a reality for all. 💪🏾🌱 #ComeTubonge #FormNiDialogue #PDF2025
