Many grant proposals struggle to present a convincing sustainability plan. What approaches have you found effective in demonstrating that project outcomes will be maintained beyond the funding period, and what evidence or arguments helped persuade funders that your sustainability strategy was realistic and achievable?

The Kenya High Court has delivered a landmark judgment declaring that the blanket criminalisation of consensual sexual relationships between minors is unconstitutional, dealing a major blow to the current application of Kenyaโs Sexual Offences Act.
In a ruling by Justice Bahati Mwamuye, the court held that teenagers involved in consensual, non-coercive, and non-exploitative relationships should not automatically face criminal prosecution under defilement laws.
The court directed the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to review prosecution guidelines and stop treating all adolescent relationships as criminal offences without considering context, consent, and age proximity.
The decision now places intense pressure on Parliament to amend the Sexual Offences Act, especially amid concerns that so-called โRomeo and Julietโ cases have contributed to prison overcrowding and harsh mandatory sentences.
The ruling is expected to spark nationwide debate over child protection, morality, constitutional rights, and the future enforcement of sexual offense laws in Kenya.
What is your reflection?
