Gender and Development – Kenya’s Context and the Proposed Assignment

Kenya has made significant strides in advancing gender equity, equality and social inclusion especially in developing national laws and policies in relation to gender.

These include the Constitution of Kenya, 0,21 Artice 23; National Gender and Equality
Commission Act, No. 15 of 2011 Section 8; the Prohibiton of FGM Act, 2011; Prevention against Domestic Violence Act, 2015; the Sexual Offenses Act (2006); and the Persons with
Disabilities Act (2013).

In addition, the Government established the National Gender Equality Commission (NGEC) through the enactment of the National Gender and Equality Commission Act 2011 pursuant to Article 59 (4) of the Constitution of Kenya.

NGEC focuses on Special Interest Groups, which include women, youth, persons with disabilities (PWDs), children, the older members of society, minorities and marginalized groups.

By virtue of its work and mandate, SOS CV Kenya intends to mainstream gender and social inclusion in its operations, programmes, processes and other spheres.

This will be done through the development and implementation of a Gender Policy for the MA, followed by capacity building of the National Management Team, Board of Directors and Programme location teams on its provisions to enable them spearhead mainstreaming of gender across the MA.

In this regard, the MA intends to recruit a consultant to conduct a gender and inclusion audit and develop a Gender Policy to guide the MA in addressing identified gaps through gender mainstreaming.
