The third pillar of the IEBC Strategic Plan 2015-2020 seeks to enhance public trust and participation in the electoral process. This is reiterated by the Commission's Gender and Social Inclusion Policy that is aimed at improving the political participation of women and other Article 100 groups. Further, the Commission aims to build bridges and networks with the community and other stakeholders as per the CSR policy. It is against this backdrop that the Commission heeded to the request by the Royal Nairobi Golf Club to sponsor the Royal Ladies Open Tournament 2019.

This year (2019) brought together 130 female golfers, 210 caddies and over 20 guests to the tournament. The tournament took place on 6th July, 2019.
