World Bank Income Classification:Low Income
The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.
Least Developed Country:Yes
Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.
Gender Inequality Index:0.575
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
Gender Development Index:0.723
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Capacities of national and county institutions to develop and implement gender responsive CSA policies strengthened

Productivity of women in the agricultural value-chain increased
Three ASAL counties of Kitui, Laikipia , and West Pokot has made some progress in increasing the productivity of women in select agricultural value chains in 2022. 2,391 beneficiaries (Female: 2,002, Male: 389) adopted 15 CSA technologies and 15 CSA practices on 1,598 hectares of farmland. Additionally, 969 women established agribusinesses in select agricultural value chains in crop and livestock production and apiculture. As such, 419 women from 23 farmer groups aggregated and sold their produce making USD 17,640. Beneficiaries reported improved income, nutrition, and food security at the household level. This was partly attributed to the adoption of appropriate gender-transformative CSA technologies vertical and sunken kitchen gardens and improved locally made multi-use brooders for indigenous chicken production. A 30% increase in agricultural productivity is projected by the end of the project in 2023, due to the adoption of CSA technologies and practices by the beneficiaries. UN Women, in partnership with Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Village enterprise, GROOTS Kenya, Hand-in-Hand Eastern Africa, and Anglican Development Services Eastern (ADSE) contributed to strengthening the existing aggregation and supply chain mechanisms, particularly through linking beneficiary groups to input suppliers (seeds, chicks, pesticides, finance, and machinery), aggregators and buyers of their agricultural products. UN Women also focused on building the capacity of women in gender-responsive agriculture value chains (crops and livestock) as well as in financial literacy to help achieve increased access to markets and information. Additionally, UN Women strengthened the capacity of the target women to produce within the changing climate by training them on leadership, advocacy, and gender dynamics. As a result, the women successfully advocated and influenced the inclusion of gender-responsive CSA into county-integrated development plans (CIDPs III). For instance, Laikipia County increased budget allocation for gender and social protection by 4%. The other two counties have also integrated women, youth and PWD focused interventions in their CIDPs. Lessons Learned: There is a need to take a holistic and value-chain approach to increase the productivity of women and youth in agriculture. In addition to strengthening the capacity of women and youth as agricultural producers, efforts should also be made to increase their participation in other agricultural value-chain nodes e.g., value-addition and agro-processing, etc. More efforts should be put into interventions that promote women’s access to credit and markets and linkage made to existing government affirmative procurement and fund programmes e.g., Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO), National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) etc.Disclaimer and notes
