Paris: UNESCO (2022), 4 pp.
"During the reporting period 2018-2021, UNESCO has worked closely with Kenyan youth leaders, media professionals, parliamentarians and religious leaders to encourage the government to adopt a Draft National Media and Information Literacy Strategy. The first outcome realized during this period was the drafting of the Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers in Kenya. It was prepared through a consultative process – led by the Centre for MIL in Kenya. It was an adaptation of UNESCO’s Model Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers, while ensuring that the developed curriculum conforms to Kenya’s national curriculum policy, competency-based education and training policy framework, and East Africa e-learning strategy. The second outcome was the drafting of the first Media and Information Literacy Policy and Strategy document, which was developed through multi-stakeholder consultative process led by the Media Council of Kenya through application of the UNESCO MIL Policy and Strategy Guidelines and Kenya’s national development aspirations, guidelines and policies."
