    Call For Proposals: 2022 Comparative Analysis of Elections Coverage for Female and Male Aspirants/Candidates During Kenya’s General Elections.
    Media Focus on Africa (MFA) with the financial support of Global Affairs Canada through UN Women Kenya and the
    Delegation of the European Union to Kenya is implementing Ms President season 2.
    MS PRESIDENT BRIEF AND BACKGROUND
    Ms. President is entertaining, educating, and thought-provoking Reality TV show that seeks to portray to a national audience the capacity and ability of women to lead effectively. Ms. President is the first time that a reality TV format has been adapted and used for women empowerment programme in Kenya.
    The objective is to change Kenyans’ perception and attitude towards leadership by women in communities and in the country. Through a series of tasks and challenges, contestants (all female) display their leadership capacity and ability on National TV.
    The series showcase intelligent and articulate women who are Presidential with the aim of increasing the chances of women in Kenya taking up leadership positions. Ms President is conceptualized, produced, and broadcast by Media Focus on Africa. Between January 30th and July 31st, 2019, 26 episodes of the Ms President season 1 TV show were produced and broadcast attracting average weekly viewership of 3.5 million.

Ms President Season 2 will contribute to Enhancing Women’s Participation in Political Leadership and Decision Making in Kenya via a multi-media program complemented with community dialogue and capacity strengthening for key stakeholder groups. Coming in the backdrop of the 2022 election makes Ms President Season 2 relevant and timely.
    Researches from across the world have shown that female politicians, in general, receive less media attention than their male counterparts.
