INTRODUCTION

Founded in 1959, the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) is the most influential employers’ organization in Kenya. With over 5,000 active members, FKE serves as the voice of employers at both national and international levels. The organization advocates on issues of employment, labor relations, human capital development, and policy dialogue across sectors.

In line with its mandate to foster workplace transformation and inclusivity, FKE has led various capacity-building initiatives. Its Female Future Kenya (FFP-K) program is a trailblazing response to the underrepresentation of women in executive leadership and boardrooms.

Now in its latest cohort, the FFP-K program is calling for qualified facilitators to deliver its three critical modules: Rhetoric, Leadership, and Board Competence. These facilitators will help mentor, equip, and elevate women professionals into high-impact leadership positions across sectors in Kenya.

This 9-month, modular, experiential learning program covers three areas vital to leadership success:

Leadership Development: To cultivate visionary, ethical, and transformative leadership
Rhetoric & Communication: To enhance articulation, persuasion, and stakeholder influence
Board Competence: To empower women with practical skills to serve effectively on boards
