5.0 Conclusion<br />
The engagement of community media in the development and sharing of local content is a systematic capacity<br />
building process. This project has built the capacity of five community media groups in Kenya through five<br />
intervention strategies:<br />
(i) skills development; (ii) onsite visits; (iii) monitoring, evaluation and mentoring;<br />
(iv) documentation and (v) sharing.<br />
An integral component of the project is the monitoring and evaluation, a continuous process which takes the<br />
form of mentoring and participatory for it to be sustained and targeted at integral community development.<br />
This is the onus which Kenya <strong>Community</strong> Media Network (KCOMNET) has taken up in collaboration with<br />
partners to support community media groups to collaborate in the generation of local content based on<br />
issues of priority interest in the community and nationally, and to be able to share the content at the target<br />
community and with partners through online platforms and at community social centres.<br />
