Participation by women in politics and decision making increased

In 2021, the capacities of targeted institutions to develop and implement legal frameworks that promote women political participation and decision making be strengthened.In 2021, capacities to advance GEWE by women in decision making positions enhanced.Increased community and civic understanding of women's right to political participation.The following key achievement was made in 2021:Successful finalization and submission of the gender-responsive Political Parties (Amendment) Bill, 2021. The Bill is currently in Parliament. Once passed into law, the proposed amendments seek to promote representation in Parliament and county assemblies of women, persons with disabilities, youth, ethnic and other minorities and marginalized communities – through political parties’ support (Article 4B). The Act will also ensure that fifteen per cent of the Political Party Fund will be distributed proportionately to political parties based on the number of candidates of the political party from special interest groups elected in the preceding general elections. A political party shall not be entitled to receive funding from the Fund if more than two-thirds of its registered office bearers are of the same gender and the party does not have, in its governing body, representation of special interest groups.91% of 674 women trained committed to be running for various political seats come 2022 general elections:More women are coming out to run for elective seats come 2022 compared to the 2017 general elections where women were only 9% of the candidates. This has been so as a result of constant media engagement on women leadership as well as continued mentorship and capacity enhancement of women leaders into political leadership. in 2021, 830 women were mentored in leadership and 674 trained in political leadership across the country and in 4 specific counties of Kwale, Kitui, Turkana and Marsabit.79 Women aspirants in Political leadership had their skills strengthened in leadership at the national level through support to Echo Network Africa (ENA).95% of the 18 TOTs trained to train Women in Political leadership using their skills to empower women in politics.Harmonized and finalized training tools for women in political leadership – 2 training manuals– being used by 4 CSOs (NCCK, KEWOPA, MMAAK, ENA) to train.100% of 31 young women mentored in public service on women in leadership publicly expressing interest in leadership.90% of 368 male champions trained and mentored on women political leadership across the 4 counties of Kwale, Kitui, Turkana and Marsabit publicly promoting women leadership.6 media houses trained on media support to women in political leadership at the county level – increased media coverage to women leaders and aspirants. Elders and religious leaders’ capacities enhanced resulting in their open commitment to support women seeking political positions. Identified and enhanced the capacity of 60 gender champions through ENA who are advancing and promoting women agenda and women participation in decision-making processes. The women champions include five women with disabilities and four male champions. These platforms are enhancing women's movement-building at the grassroots to help rally women and men, boys and girls to support women's political leadership. The aspirants are also using the platform to learn from each other, and encourage each other including handholding of the new women entrants into politics.
