We invite you to the ACLARS Webinar on 21st November 2024 at 4-6 pm EAT. The Webinar is hosted in collaboration with ICLARS, Hekima University College, and Kenyatta University.
The Webinar will focus on the proposed state regulation of religious organizations in Kenya, discuss possible success and failure factors of such regulation, and share comparative insights from Rwanda and Uganda.
