Community members in Nakuru County actively participate in a participatory environmental and social screening session, a key step in promoting accountability, transparency, and community ownership of local development projects. The session brings together diverse stakeholders—including women, youth, and local leaders—to identify potential environmental and social impacts, suggest mitigation measures, and ensure alignment with sustainability safeguards.
The inclusive engagement process supports informed decision-making and empowers the community to advocate for projects that protect their environment, social wellbeing, and cultural values. By fostering open dialogue and integrating local knowledge, the screening not only ensures regulatory compliance but also strengthens the foundation for sustainable and socially responsible development.
This initiative reflects Ler Consult’s commitment to delivering high-quality Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs), stakeholder engagement, and sustainability advisory services. By embedding participatory approaches in its work, Ler Consult helps communities like those in Nakuru County shape development outcomes that are both inclusive and resilient. The process enhances trust between implementing agencies and residents, ensuring that projects are not only viable but also embraced by those they aim to serve.
