Abstract

This Plan of Action draws its strength from the National Policy on Gender and Development (January 2000) and Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2006 on Gender Equality and Development. Developed through a participatory process that included in depth interviews with selected key informants in sector ministries and consultations with the civil society organizations, the plan aims to ensure women’s empowerment and mainstreaming needs of women, men, girls and boys in all sectors of development in Kenya so that they can participate and benefit equally from development initiatives.
