Kaa Safe Mtaani Campaign: Regional Workshops and Community Impact
Building a National Culture of Energy Safety - One County at a Time
Since May 2025, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), through its Kaa Safe Mtaani initiative, has been implementing a nationwide public awareness campaign to address the growing number of accidents and safety risks associated with electricity, LPG, and petroleum use. Through regional workshops held in Machakos, Nyeri, Isiolo, Eldoret, Nakuru, and Kisumu, we have directly engaged over 600 participants — including community champions, youth and women’s groups, county officials, first responders, energy sector stakeholders, and grassroots leaders — in intensive technical and communications training.
These workshops form part of a broader strategy to build a coalition of energy safety ambassadors, foster multi-stakeholder partnerships, and instill a culture of prevention and risk awareness at the household and community level. Each session has combined practical safety demonstrations, regulatory briefings, and media engagement to ensure that trained champions are well-equipped to cascade key safety messages through barazas, churches, schools, and digital platforms.
Our Approach
Using a Training-of-Trainers (ToT) model, the campaign mobilized local networks including chiefs, CBOs, LPG dealers, matatu and bodaboda associations, and faith leaders to become energy safety ambassadors. Each participant received Kaa Safe Mtaani IEC packs containing LPG, Petroleum and Electricity safety fliers, reflective vests, lessos, and other campaign merchandise to support grassroots outreach and visibility.
