A REPORT OF THE 3RD ANNUAL EHRDs WORKSHOP ON STRENGTHENING THE WORK OF ENVIRONMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS (EHRDs) THROUGH THEIR ENGAGEMENT WITH THE COUNTY ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEES (CECs) AND ASSESSMENT OF EMERGENCY AND NON-EMERGENCY SUPPORT NEEDS FOR EHRDs FLAMINGO BEACH RESORT AND SPA, SHANZU, TH TH MOMBASA 12 - 14 JUNE, 2019 ACRONYMS EHRDs - Environmental Human Rights Defenders NEMA - National Environment Management Authority CECs - County Environmental Committees CJGEA - Center for Justice Governance and Environmental Action LED - Land and Environment Defenders UNEP - United Nations Environment Programme OHCHR - UN Office of High Commissioner on Human Rights ILC - International Land Commission CoG - Council of Governors HRDs - Human Rights Defenders EU - European Union PI - Protection International USA - United States of America US - United States UN - United Nations NCHRD-K - National Coalition for Human Rights Defenders CBO - Community Based Organization NGO - Non-Governmental Organization ii Abstract EHRDs globally have continued to face serious threats with regards to the type of work they do. More often than not they are subjected to numerous violations ranging from attacks, murders, harassments, and infringement of their fundamental rights among many others. Kenya is not left behind, it is one of the countries that has become extremely unbearable for the EHRDs to survive in. In this regard, CJGEA came up with an initiative to empower EHRDs countrywide to ensure they are protected and feel secure when handling their work. This was also to ensure environmental protection and conservation work continues smoothly. For the past three years, EHRDs drawn from all over the country under the banner of CJGEA have been meeting annually for a workshop to deliberate on the issues that affect them and the work they do so as to better their work in protecting the environment. -
