There is Hope: Voices Against Injustice in Pakistan and Kenya (Mavra Zehra and Edith Mecha)

In this episode of Open Gov Stories, Mavra Zehra and Edith Mecha discuss the challenges of working in non-permissive environments back home -- in Pakistan and Kenya, respectively -- and how their experiences of the past have led them to work on social issues relevant to their country’s context. They then discuss their role as emerging voices in the developing world – promoting peacebuilding projects in the two countries and what they hope the future will hold for the civic space in there. Mavra Zehra is a Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning fellow at the Transparency and Accountability Initiative (TAI). Edith Mecha is a former Communications Fellow at TAI.
