Equal Partners, Evidence-Led, Connected

L’Afrikana is pleased to announce the Talk to Talk Forum 2026 – Nairobi Edition, taking place on 25–26 November 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya. Theme: Equal Partners, Evidence-Led, Connected: Refugee-Led Organisations Speaking for Themselves. Talk to Talk is a refugee-led initiative that creates space for refugee-led organisations (RLOs), government institutions, diplomatic missions, development partners and private-sector actors to engage in meaningful dialogue and build practical partnerships. The Nairobi Edition will take place over two days: Day One – 25 November: Know Ourselves A dedicated RLO working session bringing refugee-led organisations together to examine their experiences, identify shared challenges, consolidate evidence and agree on priority advocacy issues. Day Two – 26 November: Act Together A partnership and institutional engagement day bringing RLOs together with government representatives, diplomatic missions, development partners and private-sector institutions to discuss the priorities identified by RLOs and explore practical opportunities for collaboration. Key areas of engagement include: Refugee leadership and meaningful participation. Localisation and equal partnerships. Access to finance and sustainable livelihoods. Employment, skills development and enterprise opportunities. Protection, rights and access to essential services. Evidence-based advocacy and institutional engagement. Sustainable collaboration between RLOs and partners. The forum aims to move beyond dialogue towards practical commitments, stronger institutional relationships and clear follow-up actions. Organised by: L’Afrikana Kenya & Canada. Dates: 25–26 November 2026 Location: Nairobi, Kenya Venue: To be communicated. Join us in strengthening refugee-led leadership and building partnerships that deliver lasting solutions.
